(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey, guys. Recently I have started becoming depressed and questioning why the f*ck I even try anymore. It seems like all I do is set up to fail, I'll never get a girlfriend, and I'm just a social f*ckup. I'm a senior in high school, and have NEVER felt like I do now. Like, I have hit rock bottom.

Now, I know that senior year is the year you usually f*ck around, but I do that, just to fill myself for that time. Like, I feel like I have a hole inside that's just sucking the life out of me. I've started drinking, smoking, doing drugs... I hate how I feel, I hate that I can't fix this, I hate my life. I've spent my whole life trying to be that perfect kid like my parents want me to be; I'm top of my class with a 4.something GPA. I'm a f*ck up when it comes to dating as well. I try to go after one girl, and she dates some other douchebag even though we had set up to go on a date. I'm going after another girl, who I had a date with today, but it sucked a shitload. I'm pretty sure I have social anxiety disorder. I hate being around large groups of people, and when I'm surrounded by a group, I freak out. I never was like this, I hate being like this, and I'm not sure what caused this. Everything about my life, how alone I am, how I never am paid attention to, just really hit me like a rock falling from a cliff. I'm a damn socially awkward, anxiety ridden, depressed teen. I'm not looking for answers, as much as just wanting to see if anyone knows why I feel like this.

Social anxiety test shows that I have a pretty severe case of SAD. What should I do about that?

I advise some hardcore masturbation~seriously you love it

M8 i say see ur gp and ask him for help or advise or see ur school nurse

Trust me never having a gf is Sh*t and you feel realy down

First of all, I'm sorry about you feeling down. I know how it feels, and its hard to get yourself back on top.

However, you say you're pretty sure you have social anxiety disorder. Like most "mental illnesses", it's relatively easy to treat.
If you know you have the disorder, why not do anything to help yourself losing it? Just imagine yourself not having those problems and being able to act normally in social situtations!
You know if you're sensitive to psychological disorders you should really stay away from drugs?
The reason you feel this way is hard to determine. It can be a lot of things. We don't know anything about your history or whatever, so talking to someone you know will definitely help you.
When you know whats wrong with you, only then are you able to actually do something about it.
To sum it all up, my advice would be:
1) Stop using any type of drugs
2) Talk to your family about your situation, if you sit down to talk with them. They will understand.
3) Get professional help, don't use internet tests to determine your health. Symptoms of the mind are hard to diagnose, let alone using a computer/internet.
4) Try to man up, if you feel bad about yourself you will end up in a downward spiral untill you really hit rock bottom. The only one that is able to get yourself out of your depression is YOURSELF.

Yeah that's what I meant.

you will get through keep your head up !

start lifting! i wont aware you just yet but get interested in lifting weights and training and your confidence will raise because you'll be getting more aesthetic and through that you will get with women easier.

in regards to your situation with women though man, honestly i never reply to these kinds of threads because nobody on ngu provides pics of the women, you are not going to get anywhere unless you have confidence. in your state, you should tackle one issue at a time. i can understand the drinking and drug use more than a lot of people but you can't end up relying on it to suppress reality which you are also avoiding by posting on the internet instead of venting with somebody in your life, even if you feel like you have nobody.

my suggestions would be:
1. sit your parents down. be completely transparent with them. no lies or bullshit. "mom, dad, lately life has been so hard for me that i've started drinking and using drugs to just escape...." take it from there.

2. make a list of where you are right now and the time and date it is. write everything; girls, jobs, school, depression, attitude, expectations in life. everything. in a years time, write a new list and compare it with this years one and the progression from what you are right now and what you will be then will drive you more.

3. gain confidence. it will be hard for somebody that has social anxiety but you'll get there. if you're more comfortable talking with people 1 on 1 then stick to that until you're ready to tackle speaking in groups. repetition will get you there. if any of us go months without talking with women then we will suck next time we try, but the more we try the more we get used to it again and pick up where we left off.

4. start lifting! google 'bodybuilding' and from there change your outlook on life.

5. don't be looking to get into any relationships. i don't know you or whether if you get into a relationship now the girl will be your first love, but you want to avoid that shit. wait until you're older and just enjoy life as much as possible.

Thanks guys. I talked to them about it, and were understanding. I'm no longer feeling depressed, nor paranoid

Well, I'm not sure what to do for you here. Try getting with a guidance counselor of some kind and try to get involved into some help before you go to far with this situation such as suicide or something very bad.

Just whatever you do, never kill yourself if you are having those kind of thoughts. I always think suicide is a permant solution to a temporary problem. So don't do it.
