I'm depressed. I tried on my favorite shorts. The only shorts that have ever fit me perfectly and they looked DISGUSTING. Super tight and bulging and pulling. I'm also not smart enough. My practice GRE scores aren't good enough for the programs I want to get into. I have always been smart and really good at standardized tests. And then just general depression. What can I do? I just want to be happy.

Lawdy, a booty crisis! The joys of being a wo-man, eh?

Um, the way you're negativity is geared in this and other posts makes me wonder if you've tried Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

Cause it can really help with these thought cycles, imho..just my 2 cents x

I've tried it before. I'm in therapy now too. It isn't CBT though. I don't know... It is so hard to change these thoughts that I have had since I can remember.

Happiness doesn't come from what you do. It comes from who you are. You wont be happy or you will only be temporarily happy until you find that out.

....and you have to be able to differentiate between if you are having a "chemical depression" or "a depression based on just something that happened".
