I'm feeling major depression

tsunami_rid3r

I'm doing well academically, connecting with my professors and such. Right now I'm not too motivated to do anything. The only motivation I have is graduating and going to another school to further my profession. I feel like that alone isn't enough to hold my chin up everyday. I'm sick of the people at this school, and I don't like this city. Its so boring. I don't have a group of friends. I'm a junior. There are few at work I've partied with. I feel so alone. Sometimes I don't even know what I want or who I am. Its a horrible mind game. Its bad enough when my good friend calls me up and tells me that it seems I would be happier in Austin. Shes cool and she lives an hour away back home. I haven't been home in months. I wanted to go to school in Austin, and I've told my parents that. They will let me transfer now, but I'm already into my junior year. I have good recommendations lined up from a few of my professors. It sucks my parents wouldn't let me go to UT when I was starting college. I should appreciate I'm getting a good education, but this is just making me sad. I can't make paragraphs on this forum anymore.

Hey, you're doing the right thing by writing about this. Where are you going to school? I'm back East and headed to bed, as it's late here, but will check in with you in the morning.

Don't let the shit get you down. You're so young, and there is a great deal of wonderful life ahead of you. Some crap is coming down too, don't get me wrong, but so much great stuff is headed your way!! I'm 55, and trust me, you are in for some great stuff, so hang in there. Even at my age, in just the last few weeks, I've had some of the best traveling, musical, family, intellectual, athletic, personal relationship and sexual experiences of my life.

Christ, you've hardly cracked the surface!

Tsunami... hang in there. I don't know what it is (the winter blues, perhaps) but so many have been in a funk lately.

I can't do anything about most of that... but I CAN help your paragraph issue...

I take it you are using Firefox? Excellent! Unfortunately, this site is not terribly compatible with Firefox. To fix that, here's what you do:

Under the posting field, UNCHECK the box that is checked (the Check here to use HTML formatting box)
and CHECK the other box which was unchecked...(the Automatic Cr/Lf box)

that'll do it.

the rest... the life part... will honestly work itself out. Hang in there.

Cheers,
Baba

can you go home for a weekend? Sounds as though you need some time at home, and a break from school. I hope you feel better soon - being lonely sucks.

Sounds like you need to go to Austin!

(((tsunami_rid3r))) hope you're OK. Are there some groups in your college that you could connect with? Your friend sounds caring - perhaps you could go and see her on the weekend. One hour away isn't too bad?

I agree with the queen....go home, even for a weekend. It's what you need.

what do you do for your spiritual development? sound like you might need some help there

Pioneer Spit...oh, i mean Spirit

You need a break, maybe that'll do it for you--restore your passion. What are you passionate about? It'll come back to you, I promise. Previous posters are right--your age is in your favor, your status-getting your education-is in your favor--just work at restoring your balance by not working, aka, take a break!!

We love ya man, depressed or not.

tsunami_rid3r~ If all goes right, my son may be joining you there this fall. I bet you two would get along. I will keep you posted if he goes. UT right? Austin?
