I have said this 3 times on here already, however, it has been so effective I feel its worth sharing again. This is the only thing that has worked for me and it worked fantastically: 1) Start with some Black Tea. In my experience the caffeine in black tea causes less of crash than coffee. 2) Hemmingways Hack: http://www.secondactive.com/2009/08/boost-your-productivity-with-hemingways.html http://www.secondactive.com/2009/08/boost-your-productivity-... 3) And the Pomodoro Technique http://www.pomodorotechnique.com http://www.pomodorotechnique.com This has hemmingsways hack built in. If done right (read the PDF) it is amazing. ----------------------- As far as that last paragraph, it sounds like your depressed. Depression is the most common mental health concern in our culture today. The main reason for this phenomenon is our dysfunctional lifestyle. We have stripped away supports such as family and community and replaced them with material objects, larger homes, entertainment centers, and more time at work for money and success, rather than interest, meaning, or passion. The lack of support, connectedness, and meaning leaves people feeling empty, lost, and depressed. These negatives feelings are symptoms trying to tell us that we're being deprived of essential human nutrients: to be seen, heard, and understood. Thus, depression is a healing crisis. -- http://www.wholenesstherapy.com/public/anxiety.htm http://www.wholenesstherapy.com/public/anxiety.htm Like everyone else has said go see a counselor. You should be talking to some one about these feelings. To me it sounds like you depression is stemming from a feeling of a lack control and a feeling that you don't have the power to make a change. If you can, I recommend reading this book http://www.amazon.com/Transformation-Understanding-Levels-Masculine-Consciousness/dp/0062505432 http://www.amazon.com/Transformation-Understanding-Levels-Ma...

Also try green tea. I find the caffeine stimulus a little stronger and more mentally soothing than black tea, but the side effects are no worse.

  After reading your thoughts about how you feel I can honestly say I currently still feel the same way about my life. It wasn't until Senior year in High School that I started to have the same feelings as you and experienced thoughts of suicide or depression along with anxiety and was given Zoloft by a doctor when I was 18. I was really outgoing in high school though but did have some rough times my senior year with the typical girl bs causing fights and what not. I also had a therapist session every other month or so (didnt start until college) to talk to about whatever really and also problems with my family. Pretty much everything I endured with Zoloft and therapy didn't make me more confident or helped me accept the fact that I don't like to make mistakes and that in turn makes me like the The Too Many Aptitude Problem - TMA. One thing it did help me with was my suicide thoughts and even stopped me from writing good bye letters. http://knacks.esmartdesign.com/#Aptitudes_and_Mental_Illness http://knacks.esmartdesign.com/#Aptitudes_and_Mental_Illness. - TMA What I am trying to say is that after every thing I endured over the span of a 1 and half I was on Zoloft I really thought I was recovering from my daze I had. I felt better but not cured. But it seemed it caused a worse daze making me just pass through things in my life without real thought. My mind started to seem off and I changed from my true self. I wasn't as social, I was more cautious, and I think I lost the person I was in Senior year. This all came to a realization after I was finally taken off the drug just as my freshmen year of college came to an end. One thing that can really help is therapy though. So totally give it chance. I know I used the tissues in the room a lot when I talked about what I was going through because his answers/questions always made me really think. To me any drug with any type of extreme side effects is not a solution but it could be for you. Just a thought. Take it easy.

Bringing up Hemmingway to a suicidal person seems kind of cruel, no?
