One of the best things is to talk to friends and family about issues like this.

Honestly OP, the reason you probably feel depressed is [sp]because if you didn't feel depressed you'd be a pilled-up maniacal psychopath. If the thought that you're living on a dying planet, being an unwilling participant in mutual suicide on behalf of a flawed species that constantly thinks in irrational, short-sighted ways, doesn't depress you then you should off yourself right now because it's already too late. Your brain has been turned to soup by a barrage of advertisements making you think you're some special little prince. The unlocking of the vista of Truth where insanity and death lurks around every corner and just the mere suggestion of what could be, and very possibly is, the real truth makes you shudder and recoil in disgust and loathing. The human race will disappear. Other races will appear and disappear in turn. The sky will become icy and void, pierced by the feeble light of half-dead stars. Which will also disappear. Everything will disappear. And what human beings do is just as free of sense as the free motion of elementary particles. Good, evil, morality, feelings? Pure 'Victorian fictions'. Only egotism exists. There is no recognizable divine presence, such as God, in the universe, and humans are particularly insignificant in the larger scheme of intergalactic existence. Perhaps we are just a small species projecting our own mental idolatries onto the vast cosmos, ever susceptible to being wiped from existence at any moment. The majority of undiscerning humanity are creatures with the same significance as insects in the face of mind-blowingly immense and inhuman forces in the universe which, due to humanity's small, visionless and unimportant nature, it does not recognize. The human world is but a fragile bubble in an infinitely vast and apathetic universe, isolated by great gulfs of both time and space. Though we consider ourselves masters of all creation, as a species our limited perceptions allow us to see only a fraction of the full range of reality. Beyond our pathetic awareness dwell vast and ancient forces, completely beyond our ability to influence in any way, whose merest thoughtless twitch would annihilate every trace of humanity. Our seeming dominance over the world is illusory and ephemeral. We are blessed in that we do not realize what lies dormant and unknown in our own minds. Now and then I think about what 'truth' is and it disturbs me. Once I uncovered it the first time it came easily again. Perhaps it was just a small glimpse of some greater nightmare which by accident or carelessness, perhaps both, I managed to see for a brief moment in my existence. The mere mention of how our greatest idol in the modern world, "Love", is only a disgusting act committed by animals to procreate and propagate their writhing, filthy species so that their offspring can take their place as destroyers of everything can slaughter mercilessly everything in which you've once held fast to. It's a unique existential terror whose existence shatters the worldview of those unfortunate enough to inadvertently correlate what everything really means.[/sp] because you're still under pressure from your parents and feel like you have little free-will. Just relax. It's pointless saying anything to you though, in my experience. Any serious consolation you receive will be from your own mind.[/QUOTE]
Finally someone understood how unimaginable small we are compared to everything in the universe. If the universe so much wanted us to be gone, it would just have to fling one of it's thousand upon thousands of various energies and anomalies towards our planet. We are worthless pieces of primal soup. We have evolved into parasites instead of primates. We leech off this planet's natural resources and, if we are allowed to enter space, we will commence leeching other planets. We are a parasitic organism that evolved from primates. It's sad really..
And OP, I've been through the same. Smoke a bit of weed every day, and you'll do fine. Not a lot, just to take the edge off the nerves.

There is no organism that can be nonparasitic according to your definition. Everything needs energy to live, plants take up the suns energy, and the grounds nutrients, so you would call them "parasitic" too.

Thinking about nihilistic crap like that is only going to get you more depressed. Yes, we're insignificant compared to space, but you know what? Space is boring. It's dust and rocks and empty space. Comparatively we're incredibly small, but we're also infinitely more interesting than the vast gulf of space with our life and energy and activity. In the sea of nothing, we're an oasis of awesome.
I reccomend a hobby. Or a project. Anything to give you something to look forward to each day and keep your mind off depressing thoughts. (Not a GF, they can cause more stress than anything). Keep it up until your brain gets it's shit together. Like people have said, it's just a phase. I've been through it too.
[QUOTE=The Salmon;21977241]Lately I've become really concerned of my lack of care for anything, and I think I need help.
I'm currently going through a rollercoaster of emotions. I went through a massive period of depression from November 2009 to February 2010 and kind of got over that, but now I just seem to go through the motions, and not really care about anything as it passes me by. For example, I have performed very well in school, and much is expected of me, but I just don't see the point anymore. It seems the only reason I should try hard in school and be successful instead of loading my body full of drugs and offing myself is that it would greatly upset my family and put all the support they have given me to waste. I become happy under hyper stimulation of my brain, like new experiences, adrenaline rushes (I BMX and Downhill) and taking in large amounts of information (that is of interest to me). But these just don't really do as much for me these days, and I'm leaning worryingly close to experimenting with many illicit drugs. I'm accepted at school, but I don't really have any close friends anymore, and have never had anything to do with a girl. Just writing this out has made me realize I'm just very afraid of rejection or being bitched about behind my back. I don't go to parties and I don't get out anywhere near as much as I used to. All of this really worries me.
I am 100% against aggression, violence, hate and negativity for the sake of your ego. While I say this, I constantly am seeking ways of dealing with something, or someone that is having a negative impact on my life, and I can only come to conclusion that causing them pain or killing them is the only solution, and this really worries me as well.
I really just feel there is no point to life anymore, and the only reason I don't off myself is because I care too much about my family and associates (school, etc.) and the effects of me doing something as selfish and suicide would have massive effects on them and make them incredibly sad. I don't want to mention this to my family as it would also make them very sad and worry too much about me and probably invest large sums of money in a psychologist, which I don't know would do much at all.
In the end, I need some advice. I want to be back to being happy and caring about myself and my life. I want to be able to have ups and downs again, instead of making sure I stay away from something that could cause that and staying neutral. Just writing this out has just made me realize I do that :(.
No tl;dr, only post if you actually care[/QUOTE]
We're very similar. I don't care about much either.

It's not bad, go ahead it won't kill you nor make you dumb.
