-- Posted by Anonymous at 7:57 am on Jan. 25, 2007 For some reason, I have been very up-and-down lately, feeling extremely depressed one minute, and then very normal or even happy the next. I have been unhappy for quite a few months now. But today I found that when I was at college, I became very depressed, and when I got home, it slowly wore-off. I think it may actually be college that's depressing me. Which I don't understand, seeing as I like what I'm doing, and I'm not that stressed-out about the work. But I think it could come-down to the fact that I don't really have any friends there, but college does seem to add to quite allot of the depression. -- Posted by ssdodge at 9:48 pm on Jan. 26, 2007 is it possible that you were just homesick and feel a little out of place away from home? -- Posted by lilac at 9:19 am on Jan. 27, 2007 Do you feel lonley? Friendless? -- Posted by Anonymous at 8:51 pm on Jan. 27, 2007 ^ Yes, sort of. -- Posted by nanayangel at 9:04 pm on Jan. 27, 2007 Well, college life would seem so lonely coz the friendship's just different... You'll feel the difference especially when you've had really good times in high school and when you're a really friendly person... Guess college just prepares you for the real world when most of the time, you'll need to find strength and joy within yourself... -- Posted by lilac at 9:31 am on Jan. 28, 2007 Quote: from nanayangel at 8:04 am on Jan. 28, 2007 Well, college life would seem so lonely coz the friendship's just different...

After a coupleof months i got to know ppl and become one of those "happy ppl". Because you yourself are one of those naturally happy ppl you will get to know ppl over time and become happy. It might sound easy now but.....it willl take time and patience. PM if a wanna talk
