i don’t know what’s happening but I don’t know how I’m going to get through this. I am a complete and utter failure and no one cares about me here. No one. Literally no one would be sad if I left, if I went back home. No one cares. No one cares.


I feel terrible. I can’t sleep more than 5 hours a time and I never get to bed until after 4 am. Sometimes not until 6, or 7. Even when I have class. Even when I have exams.


what the hell is wrong with me that no one here likes me? Seriously! No one! Not a living soul here. 


I can’t eat properly or sleep properly and I’m so useless... im so useless and i get nothing done. I can’t even get anything out of talking to my counselor anymore. I feel entirely helpless and alone forever. No one wants to hear about it back home either that or ijust think I mean why tell them there’s nothing they can do. I can’t endure this alone. Plus I’m going to hell for my hobbies my brain says, shouldn’t draw, write... I do anyways. 


Look I can’t fall apart right now. My whole future depends on this.


but I think I already have.

You are not alone. Don't give up. I have been on the precipice just yesterday, but someone managed to convince me to stay. I'm still struggling, but people here and on the hotline gave me a bit of hope. And if you take it one day at a time, you may realise that there are people who care and that you can do it. You aren't alone in your pain.

Hello I am here on the internet for most of Sunday. You won't be alone, I am working at the computer so will check back frequently if you just need to have some company and a connection with someone.

Your depression is affecting your thoughts. There is a way to
get and feel better. Can you go to therapist or counselor at school?

So sorry that you're feeling this way. We are all here for you. It's hard to be away from your family. But you do have a DS family right here.
I was reading an article about depression in college students and the % of college students with depression is very high.
Can you see a counselor or even a primary care doctor? Many campuses have health services. Please keep us all posted.

Hi guys. I am doing a lot better today. Yes, I have been seeing a counselor here. I wrote this after being extremely sleep deprived. I finally took my (prescribed) sleeping medication last night, I was reluctant to do that because the only hours I feel awake are at night and because it is really strong when you first start to take it after being off it for awhile. I mean I slept a LOT the last 24 hours because of it, but hopefully my body will adjust.
I have been pretty distressed lately. It'll be ok. I have had a lot of my depressive symptoms return, my counselor knows this. I'm currently working on getting an emotional support animal to help me power through this season of life.
Thank you so much for caring. It means the world to me, I am pretty alone here.

I glad your feeling better. I go into frenzies when I get to depressed and have a panic attack. I will do silly things like write long letters to people that make no sense whatsoever. Then if I actually send them I feel so ashamed and embarrassed. sort of the way I would imagine being naked in front of a crowd would feel. Hang in there and keep seeking help!

So glad you are feeling better! Animals bring so much unconditional love, I am glad you are getting a sweet companion.
