Moving On

I am starting this journal to achieve a goal.  My goal is to be much happier with myself, despite the fact that I have very few friends.  I sometimes bury myself in my work.  I am a college student and I work a full-time job.  With this very busy schedule, I find it hard to meet new people with common interests.  I start feeling down when I have no one to "hang" with.  So, much of my spare time is spent alone at home watching movies/TV shows borrowed from the local library.  I am clinically depressed.  I no longer see my counselor at the university and have weened myself off my meds (zoloft). But, I still seem deeply depressed at times.  Maybe I should schedule another appt. with my counselor.  I was doing really good for about 9 months or so but, have been in a emotional down swing lately.  If I could only find a better job with more earning potential, maybe I could get out more.  I have a seasonal disorder.  now that fall has begun, I really feel down but, I refuse to start taking zoloft again.  I do not want to be on any meds!  I will tough it out!  Some days are better than others.  I'll have to take the good with the bad!  Oh well, maybe tomorrow will be a better day!
