I am sorry you are having this trouble!  Questions about the behavior of an individual are off-topic here, as it is neither safe nor a good idea to give medical or psychiatric advice with so little information.  Please talk to a psychiatrist or a mental health counsellor--I hope you get the help you need!

You might want to rephrase this question to something more like "How can a depressed individual get out of depression?" or "Can a depressed individual get out of depression by him/herself?".
Other than that, your question is too specific for a topic here.

# How do I get out of depression

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-06-04)

*(Please do not downvote me. if you think this is wrong place to ask such question here then suggest me where I can ask and I will move question there.)*

**About me:**
I am a software engineer in Pakistan and a victim of depression for the last 6 years, and I am 22 now.

**How my depression started:**
This thing started when I was 16-17 and I used to like a girl. She got married. This thing has stuck in my mind and I cannot get out of it.

I got very skinny after 16 and so I am now, people call me skinny before they say HI to me, and I feel so bad(but I don't express it).

My parents and relatives always said `You cannot do this` whatever I said or tried to do, *this is how i grew up*

**What I have become:**

I had thought of committing suicide several times but did not.

My family, friends(I have very few friends as I don't make much) and relatives love me but I do not like to talk anyone, even I don't like my parents and family.

I just want to stay alone or want to sleep.

And it does not matter if I get to bed at 10 or 02:00 AM, I end up sleep by 03:00 AM.

I have much money than the friends but I don't have any hobby or interest to spend on.

I told my mom twice, I thought she would understand my mental condition but, she laughed at me :(
