Feeling Empty Inside

combatlist October 29th

Hey there fellow Forum Members!

I'll cut to the chase to be honest, I've been feeling down lately with no sense of direction or purpose. I'm trying to manage College and whatnot but I'll be honest it isn't clicking, and as friends pointed out I may be depressed. I'm trying to get better but it just doesn't work. It's always the same self-loathing, empty joyless life. Nothing feels right and I feel like I'm disconnected from myself, that's my main reason for coming here, I'd like to get advice if you guys don't mind sharing.

Thanks!

@combatlist Welcome!

There's a depression self-help guide.

Many schools have resources for mental health, I encourage accessing those!

@AffyAvo 

Are these common signs of depression?

@combatlist I can't diagnose, but I think so. Generally I think if someone suspects they are depressed they are typically right.

Hi Combat. I agree with Affy in that you can search for any resource that your college provide.

College life can be quite stressful, and it is common to feel down. I am glad that you are aware of it and seeking help. Good luck to you!

Hi there! I agree with the others that you could search for resources within your college.


College life affects many due to high stress from work or from being homesick. What you are feeling is felt by many, you are not alone in this matter!
