How do you change your thinking?

You are very brave to write here. Go to a doctor are get tested for depression. If you have it, there are medications you can take.

I was hoping someone could enlighten me on a predicament of mine. I'm stuck in a rut while living at home, between jobs and waiting to go back to school in the Winter. I'm not comfortable in my situation and yet I seem to be unwilling to change it. I seem to be waiting for an epiphany that never comes. I understand why I'm not willing to change but I can't seem to be motivated to take a step into the unknown. I don't like living at home and I don't get along with my parents, so why am I still here? I feel that I'm a disappointment to my friends and family and I've overheard conversations that will attest to that fact. They seem to think that by telling me what to do and making me feel bad about what I'm not doing is helping me but it's making me feel worse. I've always been thought to be a very happy person and always smiling but lately I've been having more and more bouts of depression that weren't there before and are seemingly unexplanable. They are starting to scare me and make me wonder if I should ask for professional help. I'd rather get through this on my own than admit I need help from my family. Any advice you can offer me would be greatly appreciated and if anyone is looking for a female singer or fashion designer I'm your gal. Thanks
