Overwhelming depression and loneliness, what should I do?!
Question: Overwhelming depression and loneliness, what should I do!?
I recently just had my last day of high school, I'm a senior, and I feel really horrible!. For starters, these past 4 years have been the worst of my life!. During high school, I had no friends, joined no clubs or activities, and no girlfriend!. I don't know why I didn't have any friends, I was sort of a social phobic and had no self esteem!. This left me alone for these 4 years but it didn't really bother me until now!. Also, I had a major crush on this girl who was in my class last year!. Other than a few conversations, we never really talked or knew each other well, but I have an overwhelming desire to be with her!. I planned on telling her flat out how I felt on my last day, but I couldn't do it!. Now I feel extremely depressed and lonely!. I'm going off to college next year and I feel even worse b/c the people who I knew in school I'll never see again, even my crush!. I don't know what to do, I feel like crap and I have suicidal thoughts!. I have no motivation and lost the will to live!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
