What do I do w/ this situation?

I've been mildly to significantly depressed for awhile. At worst, I've felt so numb, a walking ghost w/ no recollection of even ppl in my classes who would walk by %26amp; say hi to me. It was as if I felt


so lonely


I didn't even bother to look for familiar faces in the croud 'cause I just gave up on the notion of friendships.


This was a result, greatly, of a huge fight I had with my "best friends." I made up with all of them but it's not the same; some of them are already off in med. school (they are in a 7 yr program) but I'm still a jr in college, my grades are suffering (in fact, I may fail a class b/c my prof. is known for impossible exams-she prides herself in perpetuating this reputation).


My family life: my brother is still struggling in med. school and has failed so many yrs, he's been attempting this for too long. I see a lot of his mistakes in my life-will I end up like him?


These thoughts make me guilty/sad.


Don't wanna take meds. Vry lonely-never had a b/f...

What do I do w/ this situation?
You gotta pick yourself up and keep going on. Make some new friends. I know it'll be hard to try but you gotta make it happen for yourself. If you want to keep going to school then keep trying, don't think about the "best friends" who let you down. Follow your heart, do what you gotta do. Most importantly, believe in yourself and TRY. Those people who say hi to you, make an attempt at a conversation. Make new friends, take your mind off your previous frienship problems and just keep living.

Reply:OK this is going to sound stupid but i promise it will work... first take st johns wart i sware by it .. it doesn't make you feel drug ed out just happier.... next go to the pound and get a dog commit to walk your dog every day for an hour (its just a hour)


this dog will love you so much, simple daily exercise like walking the dog ,release endorphins that make depression go away


and having a dog will help you meet new people (perhaps a new man) and don't stress out about school so much it will all fall into place
Reply:Every school has counselors. Talk with your advisor and find out where you can receive the help you need.





You never really have to go this alone. Ask for help, and then do what you need to do to get your life back on track.





You can do this - and you're worth the effort!
Reply:wow. you need to find a hobby. make some new friends. focus on school. pick better classes next semester. do you want to go to med school? you need to do whats best for you. as for the depression **** prozac get some weed and stop worrying so much! that could be half your problem there. oh and the boyfriend thing like i said you should try to meet new people. it sucks to lose friends over time but thats what friends do, they come in and out of your life.
Reply:take a deep breath...and stop feeling sorry for yourself. life is good...if you want it to be.
