Is loneliness and depression actuall... conditions?
You are currently reading a thread in /adv/ - Advice
For whatever reason,
I feel that depression and loneliness are not real conditions or afflictions. However... I am starting to change my mind because I am thinking I could be depressed or lonely but don't want to admit.
I don't want to admit it because in my mind I think, "I bet there are people out there with WAY worse problems than I. Do I even have the right to be depressed or lonely?"
I think I am depressed because I rarely feel happy about the next day? You know how some people go to bed and wake up saying "MAN WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY! I AM GLAD TO SEE IT!" I typically don't feel like that. The days to me seem to have melded together and I feel like crap most days.
As far as loneliness goes, I am 25 and I have never had a girlfriend and I can't even imagine myself having one. I want one but I know I don't possess the resources, qualities or nuances necessary to have a girlfriend. Its strange. I feel like my life is passing me by at light speed and I have no idea how to stop it.
What should I do? Is this life?
They are legitimate conditions. Some people handle them better than others. You can let the loneliness and depression affect you in some way whether it be good or bad. Or you can just go on your way ignoring it.

I feel like I have been ignoring it for awhile. I am just tired of feeling like shit I guess. The most important thing though is that I am not suicidal. I am just really wondering though is this all life has to offer?
I feel as if I am alive but not "living".
