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.
Basically where I am right now is, I am struggling to get into a decent school as a sophmore in college. I've been battling clinical depression since Junior year highschool when my world came crashing down due to a number of grave reasons...
So I am trying to get into a school which I visited and considered a FORSURE. However my gpa dropped .7 and during the most crucial time as well. I don't understand why colleges cant be empathetic i mean there was an obvious discrepancy between 2 sections of my student career.
Anyways, I was never like a 4.0 person but I was one of those people that did well did great but wasnt perfect. I was a slacker but I had my motivation to do work and do decent but after a course of events happened around Febuary-March05 I havent experienced the same motivation and desire i use to have.
I set these goals and expectations that are reachable but I don't put the effort and expect the results.
I just feel so hopeless, I'm struggling to even keep up things I use to love doing that wouldn't take effort.
I dont understand why I cant just have it back, and things will be ok again.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I find that if I take baby steps it helps me. Try not to make my expectations too high. Bc I'll let myself down every time.
Sounds like your doing this by making your goals reachable. That's great! We all have our really bad days but remember that the better days are coming.
I hope you feel better!
And it definitely isn't an insignificant problem. I'm sorry you're going through this. I'm having major academic problems and yeah...definitely not a small problem. Good luck to you!
