Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I know the feeling of being alone, going to college to reinvent yourself. Take it one day at a time, you are good enough for people. It may feel difficult and hard, but talk to a student in one of your classes, it is a start. When your back home, have you tried to reach out to old friends see if they want to hang out. Take a deep breathe and say I am worthy because we all are.
To be succefull is how happy you are. Eventhough you get all A.s and have lots of friends at school. That does not mean you will do good at work and have enough money to live.
If you still want to finish college, There are books teach how to survives college. You can go to the school coucelor. Talk to your parent. See what they think.
I recall a great line from a movie, "No matter where you go, there you are." It means that you are still you no matter where you go; only the scenery changes. People like you and me have high risk of being lonely, possibly all alone late in life, because we aren't good at socializing and making friends. Are there any activities you enjoy? There may be a student group/club for it.
But talk to your parents before you take action like quitting school. If you have any passion for your subject you should finish up the degree in it. Something to keep in mind; if you did move back home, many of your old friends will have moved away or gotten married and wouldn't have time to hang out anyway. Part of what you are feeling is the transition into adulthood. It can be a painful and confusing time. What about asking around in your classes and see if there are any study groups that meet regularly? At least its something to do and you might make some friends. You said your only friend is your room mate. So you live in a dorm? What about others on your floor? Are there any building activities? Sorry, I wish I had more ideas for you. Truthfully I had the same problem in college. I do wish you luck.
