Depression and Suicide If you or a loved one is feeling depressed or suicidal, you are not alone. Talk with other users about your feelings here.
So I've been having a little bit of depression at night for about four days now and it's keeping me from sleeping so I want to talk to someone about it. I always think about this guy that I used to talk to on Xbox for a really really long time ( it may sound weird) and now I don't really have a way to contact him which is why I can't stop thinking about this. I can't really get over it, it's really hard to.
I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling down about this whole situation of yours. Since you miss this guy you used to talk to on Xbox and now you have no way of contacting him, could this be the reason why you have been feeling depressed and almost sleepless? If this is the case, then maybe there's nothing you can really do to contact him, unless you get on Xbox and somehow find him again. Can you talk to anyone in your family about this, or maybe a friend in school you can talk to? It's always best to confide with family and friends, but if you feel that there's no friends or family member you can talk to, it may be best to call a hotline phone number. Here's a link to the hotline phone numbers here on TeenHelp:
I hope that whatever it is that's making you feel this way, I hope it doesn't impede you from enjoying your day. I wish you all the best that your situation improve, and should you want to talk to me, you are more than welcome to through VM/PM. Take care of yourself.

I think its best to remember that some people could be just there as friends /gaming friends/ temporary friends.. some could be your besties forever, and some could just be people you share a quick game of cod with . But perhaps if you remember his or her xbox username or account, there could be ways to contact him. But there's always going to be other people out there, other people nice to share /game/hang out with. When one door closes, another one opens. Its best to not think too much about it and concentrate on other activities where you'll get to meet peers your age, socialize, hang out and have happy memories together.
Rather than thinking about things that might not change, it's better to concentrate on positive activities that will change things for the better. Those will help you overcome your constant thinking, as well as give you plenty of good moments for you to look forward to.
I hope that things work out for you... you deserve better than to feel like this. And if you ever stumble or feel like you need help again, we'll always be here to pick you back up and be your pillar of support. Rant to us anytime! You can beat this
It's called a tunnel because there's ALWAYS a light at the end.
That doesn't sound weird. You talked to him for quite awhile and enjoyed conversations with him. So I think it's nice you cared enough to wonder how he is now and want to speak with him again. I bet he'd appreciate knowing he mattered to you. It can be difficult to suddenly lose contact with someone whom you enjoyed talking to so I understand why you're having a difficult time with this. I'm glad you decided to reach out here and I hope simply talking about it somewhere has helped.
At night when you are having a bit of trouble sleeping from thoughts, could you journal? Writing down your thoughts and feelings can be a good outlet because then your thoughts aren't only on your mind. Getting them out somewhere can be helpful. And you could write about anything you are thinking or feeling for an outlet. You can log on TeenHelp and come into the chat-room or you could message some of the users who are online at that time to keep you company.
You're a very caring person. When you begin a friendship with someone, you must genuinely care to still be thinking of him so I bet you'll be a very loyal and great friend to many in the future. Could it help to branch out to people in real life such as others at your school? Perhaps socializing and hopefully building new friendships would offer you comfort and allow you to move on a bit.
I realize this is hard for you but what is important to realize is that it is nearly impossible to simply quit caring or thinking of someone who you had in your life for a long time and/or who had an impact on your life. This is a situation where it's best to give yourself time, you know? Let others into your life and seek support. Talk about it and seek comfort. Let yourself feel the feelings involved but don't forget that it will get easier, alright? You can get through this.
