For the last few months I have been really depressed. The weird thing is that I dont know why, nothing tragic or really bad happened to me. Im 21 years old, dont go to school but work fulltime. Not sure what to do, any advice would be helpful.

things cant be that bad. think about what point you are in your life and realize that there are thousands of people that would wish to be in your shoes. (roof over your head, food in the frige, etc..)

i was recently in your shoes as well, i worked from 8-7, 6 days a week sometimes 7 days a week, what i came to realize is that work was taking over my life and didn't really have time to do anything during the day other then work, acutely started to loose friends because of it to due to the fact that i was at work all the time and didn't have time to do anything else, what i recommend you do is take a day or two off work each week so you could have time for other things, trust me you do this and you wont feel depressed anymore

Darth, be nice!
Depression is real, people. It's a combination of chemical imbalance and cognitive distortions. Focusing on things you like helps, so does establishing a support network (i.e. friends, family, etc). Most importantly, however, anyone suffering from depression should seek to regain a positive outlook (i.e. confidence, hope, healthier self-concept, etc). Find a therapist!

Makes sense. Although, this site is like the "Paper street" that will never get constructed.

Perhaps the house already does exist, well, for me at least, it will never cease to exist. Since I am the house and you are my most pleasurable guest, Ms. Sula. As for the porcelain God, unless it will "shoot back holy water like cheap whiskey" then I have no fear, my dear!

I don't fully agree with you here. Not everything can be explained with science. People need to take time and focus on themselves and this can ONLY be done internally. No medicine, no therapist, nobody can help you besides yourself.

Doc jan, I have an ethical responsibility to recommend empirically validated treatment, not personal opinion. Personally, I agree with you. The motivation, the need, the desire to change any aspect of behavior or personality has to come from within--the treatment only helps, it doesn't cure.
and this...lol.
