Depression? Options

[cnelson]

I'm not sure if I am exactly depressed, or whatever you would like to call it.. However, I'm only 19. I feel like I should be having the best time of my life, out doing stuff, etc.. But I nearly ever feel happy, the first time I really laughed in nearly a month was today because the muffins my mom made were so bad that I couldn't help bu laugh.. ha.

Recently a girl who I've been together with on and off for the past couple months have pretty much stopped talking altogether.. I just don't feel myself, yesterday all I did was get in my car and drive around like 6 hours, until finally one of my friends called me asking if I wanted to hangout. (celi always makes me feel better) I know it probably seems to be a stupid reason to be upset and I'm sure it is.. I'm just always so worried that I won't find another person like her to give me the same feelings I felt when I was around her.

Anyone here a couple years older than me, ever have these same feelings?


P.S. Were taking like an hour car ride to some concert that we bought tickets to when we were still together, how awkward is this going to be? And than after her friends invited me to go out and party with them without her there, again awkward?

Here's a hint, never ever let someone make you feel that way.

With my ex-boyfriend (yes, I'm a girl) of three years I felt that way. I broke up with him about a year and a half into the relationship but got back together because I felt like I would never find someone who would actually care about me like he did. So needless to say I spent another year and a half being unhappy in the relationship, I sucked it up for a while but the last few months were really bad. Once I realized, quite honestly, I could find plenty of guys to be with and plenty who would care about me, I got rid of him and felt so much better it was unbelievable.

If she's comfortable enough with you to call you if she really wanted (which it sounds like she is) and doesn't, chances are there's a reason for it. There's someone out there for everyone, if this one isn't right then let her go and don't look back.

I've been with my current boyfriend for something like two and a half years now, I know I could be with anyone I wanted but he's the one I've chosen and don't feel the need to look any further. And that is the best feeling in the world.
