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'm scared. I wish I could just know what to do. I'm in college and I'm so afraid. I thought I knew what I wanted to study. I was planning to be a Veterinary Technician. but now I don't have the love for it anymore, I find myself not wanting to be that anymore. I just wish this could be easy, I like when I was younger and they just told me what to do. but now it's up to me to figure out things. I'm thinking of being a kindergarten teacher. in the very beginning that is what I was planning to study but fear made me change my mind. I was too afraid. I don't know if I could be a good kindergarten teacher. I have lots of experiences with children, I've done a lot of babysitting and being like a nanny. but I fear my mental health isn't good enough to do that. my depression, my anxiety, my eating disorder. I know I have time to get better but I'm just so afraid. I wish I knew what to do now.
deep down I don't really want to do anything. I don't want to be anyone. I just want to escape this system. I just want to be free. But I know I can't be free, I can't escape. I wish there was a job like that. I wish there was a job just feeling free and not so restricted. I feel so lost and empty and scared. I hate this feeling of not knowing what to do, of not knowing who I am.

Hope the dog days of summer aren't getting you down!
skills needed and what it is like. I was going to be a nursery school teacher
But I was extremely shy with adults. And you had to talk to other teachers
And parents So I never did it. Follow your dreams.
And see a therapist for your anxiety and depression.
I taught 5th and 6th grade for 20 years and last year I resigned because I knew my time was up. For the past 3 years, I felt depleted and unfulfilled. I began studying marriage and family therapy because I always knew I wanted to be a counselor. I asked God for a transitional position that I could do while competing my degree. He gave me an opportunity at a private practice as a community psychiatric support team member (CPST) services. I love it. Your dream will find you if you only believe. Network with others and keep building yourself up. I believe you will find your way. You have a tremendous purpose. Only believe!!

As a side note, there was once a choir teacher who taught in my school district. He was amazing, and all the students loved him. The schools I went to were pretty bad and never won at anything, except choir, where we would always get second or first in the entire state. This teacher worked for the schools for about 20 years before it came at that he was a severe alcoholic. He never let it show in his work at school, and he eventually dealt with it and got help on his own. All this to say, your personal problems do not have to hurt your professional life, as long as you navigate correctly.
Good luck.
