i was on about 2 until today. im on a 5 now.
Just found out i failed 3 classes, i have to retake them this year, means im going to finish Uni at 23 (started my degree at 19)
Sucks, becuase i didnt try as hard as i should have, but i thought i'd make it through. And these 3 classes are my worst nightmares, i completely hate them, now i have to go through all that again.
My parents, surprisingly were very supportive, i didnt detect any dissapointment. Helped lots, but still i have that feeling that i've wasted a year of my life

Trust me you cant be feeling worse than i am.
I'm back in school,
Looking for a job
I feel like i have wasted my whole life. I can't even tell my mum what am doing with my life nor can i even face her, i feel so ashamed whenever i call her i make it short as peoples, about 2 minutes long.
Right now am just trying to pick up the pieces of whats left of my life and make it something worthwhile. My girlfriend has been a huge support for all the shit that i have been through and still continue to go through.
You'll be fine, its just a year you know. What about the rest of us who feel like we have wasted all our years huh?

Oh man that sucks. I was going to do the same thing, not tell my parents, but i felt they deserved to know what was going on in my life. After i did I felt much better. I dont know if its a good idea to hide things from them, especially if they're involved so heavly in your life. But i must say thanks for the encouragement, and well done with trying to pick yourself up and continuing to gain those essential academic skills.
Do you honestly think you've wasted your entire life? you must have learned from your past mistakes, maybe you've become a more focused person.

You bastard. You just sent me from a 7 to a 9. Thanks for ruining my day.Alucard said:Man, that stuff happens to the best of us. And it was just a MONTH. You'll heal in time. Trust me. I thought I had found the perfect girl for myself when I was 19. That was 4 years ago and I still occassionally think about her. Actually, we still talk online from time to time just to catch up on our lives and stuff. When she basically let me go, I felt like a pile of shit for a good 6 months. Even after that, the healing was incredibly slow. I'd imagine her smile or her laugh or whatever. But then I remembered that she was 25, married, and what the hell could I ever do? Wait a minute...that didn't help at all, did it?
But in all seriousness, just listen to the people in here. Thinking positive can go a long way, even though I haven't yet learned to do it.

Do I? Not me, but, (and I will assume for a sec that you live in the states, and if you don't ignore this) there is always money out there to be found for school. I've gotten loans and grants for years (wouldn't be able to afford school otherwise), hell, I've even defaulted on several of them, but (thanks to consolidation plans) I am still able to borrow up to 13,000 bucks or so per year to go to school. If you look hard enough, you can find the cash. It's alot of work, but it's certainly not impossible. Hell, there are even programs that forgive all of your debt if they realise you'll never be able to pay it all back in a timely manner. Good luck, if you want it
I'll just reference you to my previous thread and let you judge for yourself my level of depression:

It's basically Suerte's problem, with the added depressing notion that my guy isn't an asshole and is a great guy.

Maybe you and Suerte should hook up?

I was doing just fine until I read this thread
Throughout my life I've had bouts of depression here and there, but my family and friends (and hobbies) would always seem to help me out of it and get back to being happy. I've recently become engaged to the perfect girl for me and I couldn't be happier...about the only times I'm depressed nowadays is when I don't get to see her for more than a few days at a time.

Same here. I'm usually fine but the slightest thing can throw me off and then it's hell.Star Power said:

teiresias said:I wish I only felt depressed about my situation when I was drunk.
I think I've decided I'm going over there saturday to say what I need to say, ask what I need to ask, and then scream and yell until I get my way.
Excellent! I may end up doing that when I go to get my DVDs although no doubt i'll just want to get the hell out of there asap, maybe I'll steal something from his house, haha!

9 getting tired of this shit too
I'm begining to feel depressed. Don't feel like waking up in the mornings, which is when it usually does happen, because of my mother. Reason why is that she drove back and forth to University for South Florida, from Clearwater to Tampa, and come home to take care of two kids by herself, and for what? To get a degree in M.I.S. and can't even use it? Working at some shitty job at JCPenny's? Makes me sad really. She's 42(I think), but still has A LOT of time to find her dream job. We're thinking about movie to North Carolina. Maybe near U.N.C. where it would be easy to get to school for me. What to do these days..........

normally not too bad.
today? well i had to have my favourite cat put down this morning after she developed something called FIP - a rare, and nasty, cat disease with no cure. so i'll say i'm at the bottom at the moment. there's nothing fucking worse than walking out of the vet while your cat meows out to you as you're leaving. i couldn't bring myself to stay to watch them do it.

My first cat got that too. We had to put her down after she went through a long and saddening downward spiral into unrelenting illness. I watched them put her down way back when, and it freaked me out. She was alive and squirming to get out of the doctors hands one minute, and then she stopped, let out this weird kind of pitiful sounding meow that wound down to nothing.
Ugh, stupid memories.
