Hi There,I haven t been to the doctors about this but i feel i have a serious problem, The past few months I ve been feeling lonely and vulnerable even when being around all my friends, I can be outside with a lot of people or in confined spaces with a lot of people. Most of the time I feel like I have no one to talk to and I just feel like there is no point in me living, I ve gotten to the point now that I have no idea what to do, I have a big group of amazing friends, and an amazing boyfriend, but I just feel so alone and worthless why am I feeling like this??

Hello,
The symptoms are highly in line of depressive disorder. As you have all symptoms suggestive of depression, I would advice that you must see a psyhiatrist in person at the earliesbt because the ideas of hopelessness is building up and you have even started to feel useless to live on and off.
You must discuss this with your close friends and family and seek help.
Drugs like sertraline or escitalopram are very effective and show good results in one to two weeks of regular treatment.
Wish you good health.

Hi,
From what you have mentioned, it seems that you are suffering from a depressive episode. Feeling lonely, considering oneself worthless, feeling life is not worth living are all pointers that your depression is severe enough and that you should seek treatment without any further delay.
You should seek psychiatric consultation as soon as possible fro initiating treatment. Antidepressants like escitalopram would be beneficial in your case.
Hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes for speedy recovery.
