I'm scared that the reason I have been so depressed and haven't been enjoying college lately is that its not the right place for me. I don't think I can handle 3 more years of undergrad, 6 yrs of grad and then a demanding life as a psychologist. I just can't do it feeling this miserable. The problem is that I don't know what else to do with my life. I really don't want to have to settle for lower expectations and standards for myself just because I'm depressed but I also know that I can't go on living like this. I don't know what to do.

the first thing you do my beautiful, young friend, is to not think in a way that brings all the pressure of a lifetime in on you, all at once. you have a general theme of course, that leads in a certain direction, but you have to execute it \"one day\", \"one step\" at a time.
you first of all predict; that you\'ll feel bad for ever, and that wont be the case. you have gotten along for all these years and as it goes, you\'ll do even better. new cures are around the corner and i bet you, that those talents of yours, such as the beauty you have, the brains you have, the fact that so many people adore you, is enough to start the change in you this very moment.
i love the part of you that will never give up. my heart hurts for the part of you that is in pain.
maybe my pup will bring a smile to that sweet face of yours.
