Give me a break and give yourself a break.

Try for psychiatric help.

Looks like your really depressed.

You want change.

Change comes from you...

I'm sorry u feel that way...but i understand it, and depression unfortunatly is not something u can just "snap out of it" (as u probablly heard many say to you). My fiance had clinical depression and it was quite a bettle to handle...but he got over it....it takes time and patience....You deffinitly need some vent, otherwise it can really end bad. But whatever you do, or how bad you feel don't do anything stupid and silly, because every problem has its solution...it might not seem so now but with time you will find the right answer.

Do you have social anxiety? By what you worte (although not enough) it seems so....

Well I know a lot about it too...by the consequence....

So please, if you need someone to talk to (and I see you do!) feel free to email me!!!

Hang in there! Things may not be as bad as you think...

I know the feeling holms.

If you don't want to, or are not ready for professional help, try to keep your mind occupied. You need an outlet for all your anxiety. Do you paintball, snowboard, dirt bike... what is it that you like to do? Get out and do it, you'll feel much better. Stay busy!

It sounds like you're focused on all of the stressful things (it's easy to do). Try to focus on the big picture. You're going back to school in Jan. right. So when you get back, tell your self it's different this time. Just do one thing at a time. Try not to do too many things at once. It's overwhelming.

You will get out of that rut, sometimes it just takes more focus and concentration than you think, it's not something that just happens you have to make it happen.

Your not alone in your feelings. Take it day by day and things will get better.

Many other college aged people have described similar feelings. I'm sorry to hear that your family isn't listening well. Do you feel that it is okay to fail after giving your best effort? If you give it your best, you fail, and your family is displeased with you would you still have respect for yourself? There came a point in my life where I gave up on pleasing my family. I still love them and listen to them but ultimately, my own standards are what matters and are what I try to live up to. It sounds like you are under a lot of pressure. If you can find a way to let go of all of that pressure and not see it as being awful if your family saw you flop in college when you go back, I think you could be happier.

lots of pressure with what you are going through dont get edgey jump in and help talk to your elders someone who will listen and is full of knowledge and asking for help is the first move and all kids do the same on holidays away from there mates catch up on a few old friends and have a laugh

Sounds like you really need someone to talk to. I understand how you feel . College does make you depressed, especially around exam time. If you need to talk, I'm listening! Just click on my pic, you'll see the rest. W8n 4 u

severe depression is serious disorder. I would definitely see a doctor for some kind of diagnosis and perscription. It might be the first step in getting your life back on track.

If you can please see a therapist and maybe they can prescribe you some medication for your anxiety such as zoloft or Antivan.

You can try looking on craigslist.org or online for an apartment you can share with a friend or someone.

Also, try looking for a job or a new hobby to keep your mind off of things.

Visit you Doctor.

See anxiety treatments, at * ezy-build (below) in section 6. Set yourself a fixed limit for worrying about any particular subject, (say; 15 minutes) after which, resolve firmly to refuse to even consider that subject again on that day: realise and accept that to do otherwise would be counterproductive to your mental health, and enjoyment of life. Use the technique for reprogramming negative thoughts and internal monologue (self talk), on pages 2, and 2L, to help you in this, and consider carrying a wide rubber band in your pocket: put it on your wrist; stretch, and release, as a means of reinforcing it, and speeding up the process, re-pocketing it afterwards. Practise one of the relaxation methods on pages 2, 11, 2c, or 2i, daily, and when needed. Also, give the EFT version for use in public places, a good tryout, to see if it helps you (if you like, you can claim to have a headache, as you massage/lightly tap your temples) . Section 53, and pages 2, 2.q and 2.o at * http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris also refer. See depression treatments, at ezy-build *(below) in section 2, and consult a doctor, to eliminate thyroid problems, etc. as possible contributing factors: also seek a referral to a therapist using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy. It is your decision, and yours alone, as to whether to take any antidepressants offered, but, before you do, read section 1, and check medications out at www.drugs.com so you will be on the lookout for side effects, like sexual dysfunction. My strong recommendation, however, is to follow the advice of my doctor, his associate, and also Marcelle Pick, OB/GYN NP, and Dr. Mercola, as well, at http://www.mercola.com/ and avoid antidepressants (pages 2V, and 2Z refer, & antidepressant websites: page 2). The reasons why we all share the same view on this are explained in full, as you will find, if you read the whole section. All of their advice, (except prayer, because many people are not religious) I have incorporated into the "core treatments", including others as options, such as herbal remedies, Inositol, or SAMe. If you are diagnosed with clinical (major) depression, antidepressants may be necessary for a while, which will give the treatments time to become effective. The antidepressants themselves need at least several days, or even many weeks to become effective. It's a good idea to taper off them slowly, with medical advice, after several months, say, to a couple of years, at most, because they are only effective in the long term for about 30% of people. Because of this, you would be well advised to begin the treatments immediately, and maintain them. I'd just thank your mental health care provider, and pocket the prescription, trying the treatments for a few months, to see if they are sufficient for you, before considering filling it (unless clinically depressed, and having great difficulty functioning, or suicidal, in which case I'd take them). If the amount of daylight you have been exposed to recently has reduced, perhaps due to the change of seasons, see Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) in section 2, at * http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris and, instead of taking 4 Omega 3 fish oil supplements, daily; replace 2 of them with cod liver oil supplements (or a teaspoonful of cod liver oil), for the winter months only! Consider having your doctor test your vitamin D levels. Social anxiety, and suicidal thoughts are addressed in sections 9, and 5. Visit your counselor, on arrival at college, and if you are first to approach others to form study groups; it will help with the social anxiety.
