Every summer since the 8th grade I go through depression, in fact sometimes it comes on during other times as well. I don’t talk to anyone about it because I don’t feel they would take me seriously because I do not self harm, although I have had friends joke to me and tell me I’m bipolar. Sometimes I’m up and happy, other times I can go for days without talking. Over the past year I graduated high school and have felt many rejections in a short amount of time. I wasn’t accepted to the only university I applied to, my dream school and everything fell apart after that. I lost my virginity to a guy I was told liked me back, he hasn’t talked me since and never texted me back. I told myself I didn’t really like him but it feels like one big cliche. I went from having lots of friends to what felt like none and I couldn’t get a job for two months. After that time I was fired, dealt with lots family issues and, failed a course for a job in the future, recently that was a months pay thrown away. I currently am in university and I hate it I thought I would meet people but it’s a commuter college, where everybody goes to class and then home. I have no idea what i want to do anymore, noting to look forward too. I feel like all my friends don’t care about me anymore even when I try to stay in contact. I have noting to amount to. I have procrastinated doing an essay that was due over a week ago and if I hand it in now I will get more than fifty percent off, either way I will probably fail the class but I almost don’t care because I want to die anyways, the 500 dollar class I need doesn’t seem important anymore. Noting does, I want to escape and get away but I can’t. I can’t handle being known after sleeping with one guy that I fuck on the first date, or that I constantly fail at doing things. I feel like closet friends don’t want anything to do with me. I’m only happy when I’m at a party and I can drink and talk to people and laugh and forget everything that is wrong. It would be a relief If I could sleep forever.

See a recruiter about an enlistment in the military. They will pick you up, take you away to important missions, take care of you and then pay for college when you get out. My situation was like yours I went Army. Army is my favorite but AirForce is easier. So is Navy I think but don’t go Marines unless you’re a complete psycho.
Beyond a doubt it was the best decision I’ve ever made, for me it was like Forrest Gump said: “it’s not really hard. You make your bed real neat and end every sentence with ‘yes drill sergeant!’ ” Yes I want to die these days, but my 5yr Army enlistment was the beet time of my life. And no I’m not a recruiter. Good luck tayk and thanks for sharing a part of your story.
Not a recruiter? Could’ve fooled me.
