    I am feeling very depressed and I don't know what to do
    I am 18 and I have been dealing with depression for a few years now. I just started on antidepressants about 4 weeks ago. Lately I feel so alone and I have no energy to do anything. I quit my job and I just sit around doing nothing all day. To make things worse the girl I'm in love with has just got a boyfriend and now I'm stuck being one of her "bestfriends". I've started cutting myself and I was hoping I could get some advice on what other people do to deal with similar problems.

    We have a former cutter who participates - let me see if I can find her. She gives great, experienced advice.

    Antidepressants can and do sap your energy - it's a common problem.

    Did your relationship end because of your depression? Have you tried talking to a professional about your issues? Sometimes just having someone listen is most helpful.
