Can you please cheer me up?

I’m at my first semester of college, and I’ve been here for a little over a month. My family is on the other side of the United States and I miss them all terribly. All of my roommates families are close and they can see them all the time, and the also all have boyfriends that they talk to often. I’ve never had anyone even show any interest in me. They all always go out every weekend while I sit back in the dorm by myself. I get really depressed every night and I hate it. I have to keep myself from crying all the time because I don’t want my roommates to ask me what’s wrong and it’s really hard to keep this depression bottled up.
Can someone please say something to cheer me up?

i am looking for a self test on depression?

i started a test that i could email and get help but i can not find it now

Does anyone have any depressing :) recommendations?

I love to read, but I find it hard to find a novel that really attracts my attention. I enjoy nonfiction books as well as fiction books that could pass as nonfiction. The topics that really grab my attention include: teenage pregnancy, cancer, HIV, AIDS, depression, diseases, suicide, testing friendships, natural disasters,etc. I prefer them to be in the viewpoint of teenagers. Journal/diary form is fine.
I’ve read the following books that I find meet these standards:
It Happened to Nancy
Aimee
Annie’s Baby
Go Ask Alice
Kim:Empty Inside
To Kill A Mockingbird
Cut
A Teen’s Guide To Living With Depression

I’d really appreciate any recommendations that you think I’ll enjoy.

A spoon and hives dream, what could this mean?

I dreamed in my kitchen there was an evil governor/mayor/judge that had taken my child because there was a depression and I had lost my job and I couldn’t afford to take care of it. (In waking life, I don’t have any kids and I haven’t lost my job). There was a fancy baby spoon on the floor and he asked me to pick the spoon up so he could give it to my daughter. When he saw the spoon, he realized it was a very important spoon that could be used for greatness if only I bought its matching piece, a spoon exactly the same. In my dream I felt helpless that I couldn’t buy the matching spoon for my daughter, and I kept saying, “As soon as I get on the draw I’ll save up, I swear, just wait till my check comes in.”
Suddenly I get hives on my chin, like bee stings, and they are swelling up so large that it is painful and itching, like an allergy. I then notice my right ear is red and very swollen and when I touch my ear it is very hot. I start to think the spoon caused the allergy.

what do i do about this depression..?

i have had terrible self esteem for years (almsot my whole life)….and instead of gettign better..it is geting worse as i get older.i am only in my earlier twenties and already am worn out by life. i get joy out of almost nothing.

i have tried to fight the good fight, and have faith, and jsut ignore it or fight it, but it always comes back to this. always…no matter what.

i cannot function in society…i can’t do things for myself or speak for myself..as normal people do. my suicidal thoughts (or wanting to die) are becoming more rapid and intense.

i have bee living with this for years and do not know what to do…

no one knows and i don’t know who to talk to..
and to make it worse, i am catholic…and the hopelessness causes me to do things..well..aganst my faith.

im sorry for the rant…just dont know what to do..
