Need a little advice.

[Swifty]

Hey there Seven community, I know this is a pretty depressing thread but I need some advice from a more mature community rather than the one I am attending at college,

On Tuesday morning I woke up pretty depressed and stressed, I didn't even want to think about getting out of bed to get ready for school and then have to go to work directly after school, but I did of course, and ever since I have been waking up and going to bed the same way and it is getting worse every day, Wednesday I almost told my supervisor to take my name tag and put it where the sun does not shine. But I held myself back, I absolutely hate my job to be honest, they always criticize my work yet they don't know what it is like.

And at school it is not any better because it is like high school drama, I asked this one girl if she wanted to go to the mall after school and every one instantly ganged up on me asking me if I was asking her out and that kinda made me slump in my chair and ignore them but they proceeded on nagging me, and then towards the end of the day that same girl got me so angry I got tunnel vision and had some dark thoughts in my head, pretty nasty...

But right now I am in a terrible mess of a mood and ill be going to sleep with that,

Any ideas on what the heck is going on.... I need to make sense of it..

Thanks guys and girls.

There are always ups and downs in life, just go to sleep and you'll be in a better mood next day

Well that's the thing I have been sleeping and I work up way worse than the previous day.

Part of life I'm afraid....almost all of us "oldies" have been through the same/similar thing in one form or another. You'll get by, just hang in there - it will all come good in the end, have some faith in yourself and your ability

Hey Nick, I just sent you a PM. Take a look --- I think that may help.

you cant really let other people affect you so much

and also: if youre having "dark" thoughts or whatever i'd recommend talking to a counselor or therapist ASAP

the earlier you start talking about it, the better of you will be in the long run.

Go talk to a councilor on campus. This is exactly why they are there.

We don't have one at my college, sadly, but thanks for help guys, it makes sense, I have decided I am going to leave work and go home for christmas, just so I can get away for a little while.

Try not to wallow in your depression, and try not to take it too seriously. Remember that, how you perceive things can drastically influence the way you experience life.

Depression is no joke and isn't something to be dismissed. Whether or not it's really depression, as opposed to just the blues everyone gets isn't for us to say... or you for that matter, as we're not trained to a) recognize the signs and b) deal with it in a responsible and professional way.

If I were you I would seek professional help. You may need it, you may find you don't. I've often heard that speaking to a counselor is/can be no more effective/just as goos as honestly speaking to a best friend. Perhaps do both and see if it helps?

 

[Joan Archer]

I agree with Fumz, go and see a professional about how you feel, it may be depression or it could be because it's Winter, that's enough to depress anyone.

You're only 18 you have a long way to go in life yet so get help now and start living again.
