Advice About Depression

Dear Dish-It, is here to whisper "ttyl after I've thought about this some more".

Dear Dish-It,

I have a perfect life - I'm in the most perfect relationship ever with the most beautiful girl I've ever met. There are no problems. My family is great and there are no problems there. I have a great set of friends too. Everything seems to be going fine but it feels like there is something missing. What could it be? It is very serious. It alters my mood drastically. One moment I can be happy as ever and the next I will be crying. This problem often brings me to tears. What should I do?

Dear parasite,

While you say that your life is perfect, crying all the time for no apparent reason is not healthy or normal. Even if it's not glaringly obvious what's happening with your body, there is definitely something about your life that is causing you to feel the way you are. Have you thought about talking to a counselor or your family doctor about what you are going through? You have to remember that you are in one of the most awkward phases of life, when there are a ton of different hormones raging through your body. Something simple like a regular exercise routine or a change in diet could drastically change the way you feel. Whatever it is, your doctor is bound to know of some way to make you feel better. So, make an appointment to see your doctor ASAP so you can get back to enjoying that perfect life of yours. Good Luck!

So, ya gotta burnin' question? Need some love directions? Thinkin' 'bout stuff like depression, sex,how ya feel 'bout YOURSELF (that's called "self-esteem"), boyfriends, girlfriends, losin' old friends, bullyin' or peer pressure, but too scared to ask the parents? Don't be scared to .
