I think you need help in the form of self renewal. You need to heal from the inside out. You are depressed but your depressed is making you anxious and hyperactive.
You also need to find the real cause of the problem and solve that and then you will be on your way.
I've been through the same thing recently after a friend told me I wouldn't amount to anything. Harsh! Here's what helped me.
Running- I started throwing in my ipod listening to some edgy music and jogging until I was too tired to be mad. It always makes me feel better.
Don't Procrastinate- I would feel stressed and lousy because I would keep putting off things I knew I should be taking care. Once I started using my free time to prioritize and act instead of curling up and watching tv I felt a lot better.
Pray for other people- when I put too much focus on myself I get depressed. So every morning drive since then, I spend it thinking about the needs and concerns of those closest to me. I ask for safety for my sisters trip or healing for my dads neck... It really helps!
Outward thinking- everbody has the quirks and issues, see what you can do to help the people around you with any concerns or problems they may have without expecting anything in return. It takes away the self concern and makes me feel good about being able to help someone. ( I made and handed out sandwiches to the homeless downtown.).
... I'm going on and on so I'll leave it at that! Hope I could help.
Write a hub about how you are feeling. That is what I do. Usually makes me feel better right away.
Believe it or not, I find myself in the same situation that you are now finding yourself in. I also have friends who give me similar feedback, that they are feeling very much like you are right now. And to tell you the truth, I believe we all go through these up's and down's.
Sometimes we find ourselves in a rut and it's no wonder given the current economy and society that we find ourselves in today. If you have nothing to complain about, than in my opionion your not normal. Writing is a great outlet, not just for meditating, but getting your mind off of yourself and other people.
Your at the right place, by being on hubpages. And remember your not alone. Sometimes you just have to hang up the guns for awhile and take a walk.
I usually go to the Gym and run on the treadmill until I am exhausted. That usually works. Also,try taking a vacation either with yourself or a good friend.
Sometimes this clears the air also. And maybe you are in need of a much needed trip. But don't be too hard on yourself, this is definitely not the solution.
There are more people out there than you think, that are currently experiencing what you are feeling. And like everything else-these feelings etc... will pass as well. Good luck to you and hang in there and hope I was of some help.
Turn those emotions into articles! I use the emotional turmoil that I have been through to write articles and poetry. I am sure other people are dealing with similar situations and would love to hear your views.
You need to find a NEW friend. I often find that when you meet a new person, people tend to listen to eachother a lot better. If you don't feel like meeting a new person, go on facebook or through your phone and find an old friend who you haven't talked to in FOREVER, they tend to listen extremely well, also.
Also, don't let outside issues affect your mental status. What I mean is, if someone says something that annoys you, don't talk to them. Eff them.
You need some new variety in life.
Perhaps you are effected by something similar to myself. I could not figure it out. Seemed I was so annoyed, and had a lot of emotions that I could not figured out and I was pent up far too often.It all stopped when I found kickboxing.
I firmly believe that there are many of us that are meant for more competition or thrive on contact. I later went on to joining the army reserves and In some of those days I never felt more alive. Now I'm not saying you need to do either, but perhaps your body is screaming for something more than the today's 9-5 cubical jobs, where you are forced to follow.
I think some of us are just programmed a tad differently and are missing that need to thrive on something. So find your thing. Maybe it's a team sport like rugby, or something similar.
Exersize is a great way of dealing with anger but I suggest you re examan your feelings to find out what is realy upsetting you anger is an emotion yes but with it are other feelings fear sadness ect. After you are calm find out by looking with in yourslef what is making you feel this way and why this will help you to get to know yourself better beleave it or not anger is a teaching emotion we can learn alot about ourselves when we stop breath and examan out true feelings.
Well I will give you the same advice I give my friends, I seem to be the "therapist" among all of them. What I do is tell them anytime they need to snap, to do it on me and it seems to help them out. So just find a friend who knows you don't mean what you say and won't take it personally and just vent all your anger.As far as the low self esteem (which is very normal) I would say that positive reinforcement from friends/family is the best remedy.
Friends can do great things and terrible things and are a huge part of anyone's life. If you can't find a friend that you think you won't hurt their feelings then feel free to text me, just mention the website so i'll know lol 304-952-4744.
Work on relationships with loved ones.. believe it or not making others happy will make you alot happier in the long run.
Excersise, eat healthy and sleep plenty and you will find you have a clearer head and are much happier! (: If you drink- stop drinking. Alchohol is a depressant.
Find something you can put your energy and time into rather than being frustrated with things. Try writing, or painting, or even getting rid of all the junk youve had for a while. Do something different to feel happier and fresher.
Writing is the best release. If you get a notebook use it as a tool for your mind, to write down your dreams, thoughts, ideas, expieriences, any little thing that comes to mind.. and in the long run it will help lots with organizing ideas! Also find goals and stcik to them!
If you achieve your goals youll feel good and much much happier (o.
DONT be so hard on yourself! We are all unique and I am sure you are beautiful just the way you are.
I am the same as you. I have no friends because I push them all away if they say the silliest things. But when I feel the emotions you feel I use to lash out but now I either draw, write, listen to music or try watching a film if none of them work I go for a URL1 many have already said.
Turn your emotions to words like I do. Just sit there and let it all out but writing and if that does not work may be go for a walk and try again. I hope this helps you.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
