I'm so depressed.

And I just don't even know why. I know that I'm completely overanalyzing everything, but I just can't stop. It doesn't matter how good the day is while it's happening. Later, I'll think back on things I did or said and just want to slap myself. Do you guys ever feel like everyone hates you even when deep down you know they don't?
I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe it's because I'm just kind of settling into a new place and starting to make friends, but suddenly I've started caring a ridiculous amount whether or not people like me. I never used to care, but these days I have a ton of social anxiety and no matter what I do I can't stop thinking. Every time I'm with a group of people the only thing I can think about is what's wrong with each and every thing I do.
Just a rant I guess.

Social anxiety?
I think we had all had it, before. I got over that sheet when I met a great stoner friend. ("he just doesn't give a fuck!)

I've felt like that before, mainly the over analyzing part and thinking back on the stuff you do. The prob is if you keep going through life all anxious you are gonna do dumb stuff then later you are gonna look back and feel like slapping yourself about it. Best I can say is learn to relax. Drug's can help but can also be dangerous. I would recommend confining yourself to sit in one place and not do anything for maybe an hour or so each day, it can really help you get to the core of things. I think one of my probs that tends to lead me in the direction you are talking about is going through day to day life trying to fill all my time with stupid activities so I can ignore what's on my mind. When you force yourself to just relax in one spot for a while, not letting yourself give into the urge to go do something, alot of stuff will come to the front of your mind that normally you kinda push to the back. Also having some good friends will help you alot. You gotta work on relaxing yourself though if you want to make friends.

I don't have much to add that hasn't really been said but I feel similiar right now. Back at parents, no car, no job now either makes life pretty boring. Everyone is out of town so I'm by myself all day here. I've pretty much decided I need to refrain from alcohol for a good while and begin to exercise to keep me busy. Do the things around here that need taken care of that I identify and ignore. And find job asap. Ya

The turning off my mind part is very hard. Keeps me from getting proper sleep often. Which leads to excessive alcohol intake.

ok...
1.find a flat surface, floor, bed, etc 2.turn off all distractions, music, tv, fans, etc. 3.sit in a cross-legged position(or one that is comfortable) 4.keep your back straight 5.breathe easily and quietly 6.place your hands at your side or in your lap 7.close your eyes 8.clear your mind(focous on the blackness of your eyelids and let your mind rest as if sleeping) 9.hold position for 10-60 min
during this state of meditation you can unlock parts of your mind you did not know you had before. let the empty calmness of your being consume you, and emerge from it as a new person.
