Hi cda

Sweetheart, first of all you have to tell us a bit more about yourself and why you are so depressed. What has caused this? You can't continue the way you are and you need some medica help. Have you thought about going to your local doctor and telling him how and why you are feeling the way you are? You could ask him to refer to a good counsellor, he would know many I am sure.

Please right some more and tell us more what is causing you to feel so bad about yourself so we can offer you some more advice.

thanks for at least replying...

i am a complete introvert girl done masters... there are couple of reasons... i m not at all beautiful and have heard people saying that i am ugly, this shuttered my personality completely. i have a feeling that i m not worthy enough of doing anything... i have a problem of anxiety and panic attack too... its not easy for me to trust people... Now i am so conscious of myself that i don't even participates at facebook and other social networking things... and the latest addition to my depression is that i am not even getting a job... My all friends got job so i used to avoid them coz i feel worthless which eventually left me with no friends. it affected my eating habits so much that i have lost considerable amount of wait in few months

It all happened gradually, actually after my break up around 3 years ago...

I have tried alot to come out of this but i feel helpless now. i want to stand up again and want to get back my confidence... what should i do????
no i've never been to Councellor... i am not comfortable discussing things face to face.

Would appreciate if anyone help me out this way..
thanks.

It looks like you knew before hand what I was going to suggest.  But first I would suggest that you see a doctor with the weight loss to make sure that there is nothing else going on. 

You really should consider counseling as you have self esteem issues.  They can really help you with that problem. 

I have a free site that might help you some and another thing I would suggest is a book called Feeling Good, by Dr. David Burns.  It is a really good book.  The site is:

I hope that it helps you.

But you said that you didn't want to talk to anybody face to face, but that is what you need to overcome.  Relating to people.  Can't you see that?  It would be taking care of more than one thing if you see a counselor.  So please consider.  We are not professionals.  All that we can do is offer a little advice.  But it does often help.  And knowing that you are not alone helps.  So take that into consideration.

Best wishes,

Hugs, Karen

Whoever said you are ugly is an ugly person. You don't sound like an ugly person and beauty comes from within. The heck with those jerks. A lot of people are having trouble finding jobs these days- it's not your fault.
I think some good talk therapy would be good for you and if you can't bear to go do it face to face at least come visit here. I wish you all the best- you are an important person- don't forget that!

cda- I'm glad I made you feel a little better- you deserve to!!!!

My wish for you is that you a find a person who has the ability to fill the needs you asked for. It's not an unreasonable request- we all need that. (Hell- I need that...)
I wish you all the best!

cda- there is light at the end of every tunnel- keeping moving forward- just little baby steps- one foot in front of the other for now. You are going to be OK! Please do not despair. keeping you in my nightly prayers.
