really need help
| Thu, 12-03-2009 - 11:43pm |
I am a freshman in college, and i moved away from home so i could have the real "college experience". i have no friends here. my classes are too hard and i feel like i will never reach my goals. i don't even have any friends when i go home , all i do is work. my roommates do things together but i am never invited to anything and even if i was i wouldn't want to because all i want to do is stay in my room by myself. i am really starting to get sick of this but i have had really bad depression in the past and therapy does NOT help. and i also refuse to take medication because i hate the idea. i never have anyone to talk to and i am always crying. i have no hope for the future and i know i should be having the time of my life because i am finally away from my parents but i'm just miserable all the time. i dont know what to do

I am glad you found this board.
Hello there,
I know how you feel.
What you need is Self Motivation...There are a lot of people like you and so you should not feel like you are alone. Do something different like...go to the mall do some window shopping...Try on clothes that you would not think to wear...but would like to wear...better still go into a department store and get a Make over...That should make you feel good about yourself. Its nice to have lots of friends in college but again you have to make the right kind of friends, Good friends ...sometimes it takes time. Even if you cant or have a problem making girl friends, you can make boy friends but make good friends that you can rely on.
I am sure you have seen people who have a ton of friends but they are not real friends...Dont worry you are perfectly normal so there`s no need for you to sit and cry your eyes out all the time...for starters you have a home...some people don`t even have a place they can call home...Accept who you are and you will find that everything will fall into place because everyone is special in THEIR own way.
GOOD LUCK
