I feel like crying all the time and it's ruining my social life, I don't know what to do about it, any advice?
I've been like this for 11 years, just randomly wanting to cry, when i try to tell people they all tell me i'm being stupid or a wuss and need to man up. It's also ruining my social life as i have no confidence in myself, I haven't got many close friends and I've even moved cities to get away from the ******** that bullied me. I just want advice on what I can do to give me a more positive outlook on life, preferably from people who have had or are going through anxiety and depression issues.

I assume you are a male and it sounds to me that you have depression. Those people who tell you to man up didn't understand what you're going through. 11 years is a long time and it'll get worse so please, please see your doctor. You can choose to go on anti depressants tablets and if you do, get counselling to sort out bullrings (I'e been through it, not having counselling while on tablets is a bit messy). Surround yourself with good understanding people and keep going to work/college/work experience or if you do reg sport, keep going . It's gonna be a struggle but doing those things will keep your mind off problems if only for a while. There's support group you can go to as well.
Bullies does sometimes have an impact on one's life and can cause depression. Don't let them win. (Talking from experience).
Wishing you the best.

Anxiety and depression is so so so difficult. I lived in it for many years in my past. I'm much better now though. The turning point for me was being born again - finding Jesus. I became indwelled with the Holy Spirit and it was the beginning of a huge change in me that God continues to make and develop in me. I was 35 when I found Jesus. It would have been very helpful if I had known him earlier in my life - so the sooner, the better. If you need guidance, just google something like "What does it mean to be born again?" or you can write me. God bless!

My brother is just like you. He describes it as something just swells up inside of him and he can't control he is crying. He has high anxiety and depression. He is also in his early 40's. I'm happy you are getting help, most men are so stubborn, like my brother, they don't want to get help and stay in denial they need help. God be with you and I wish you to find a good doctor, make sure it is a psychiatrist not a family doctor when it comes to medicine.

call a mental health provider where you live, you need to get qualified help to deal with the issues that are causing your symptoms. It's the only way to get free of the demon that is ruining our life.

Something's bottled up there I think, but who am I to say?

Get yourself a full spectrum lamp and use it as your primary light source when at home. Other than that improve your diet, exercise more, and get plenty of sleep.

You wuss.... no just kidding.......no seriously dude try not to take life so seriously. Always remember that 100 yrs from now none of this is going to matter. Learn to laugh and make others laugh as well. Be a fun person that people like to be around. Be the kind of person that someone goes to in order to bring them up instead of bring them down. This will in turn change your self esteem.
