I am 21 years old. I work at walmart because I failed out of three colleges and can’t go back. I live at home with my mom, stepfather, brother and friend. I’m single and have no on I can really talk to. I’m still in love with my ex even though she is over me and back with the girl she kept leaving me for and breaking up with for me. She can’t make up her mind I guess. My mom is my best friend and her and my brother are the only reason I haven’t tried to kill myself. I don’t know why I’m depressed. I know people have it a lot worse than I do. I just can’t help it, I try so hard to be happy but it doesn’t work..

hey , ur still young, maybe things will get better with time?
Depression is depression it sucks regardless of the reason you have it.
Sucks about the college thing…will you ever be able to go back or would you even be interested in going back? Im sorry about your ex as well…the best thing to do would be to move on and find someone else…but I realize that’s not typically an easy thing to do..
Cant always promise replys but typically everyone gets something here….so if you want anyone to talk to or if you just want to vent you always have us.
I would love to go back. I just don’t know if I can. I’ve tried getting over her, I dated someone for 8 months and it didn’t so shit lol..thank you though.
Well if you don’t know then theres no reason to give up hope yet right? Try to get back in or into a new one and then become a doctor! (Or something more appealing <_<)
And yeah moving on can be hard…hopefully youl be able to someday though and then be happy :3
And anytime! 😀
It’s a blessing that your mom is your best friend. Lots of people don’t have that good relationship with a parent. I hope you can hang on for her and your brother. As someone else said, you’re still very young. Depression probably caused you to fail college. There’s a whole lifetime to get yourself in the right frame to go back. That’s what I had to do…actually I appreciated university so much more going back there as a mature student in my thirties, and did really well. You’ve got time on your side and so many possibilities! Keep sharing here if it helps you.
hey, im 20 and have a similar situation to you. i excelled in high school, got to law school and just bombed. have tried several courses and just can’t do it. my mum is my best friend too, her and my brother are the people i think about most when considering suicide.
i know everyone says “your young, things will change” but it is so hard being so depressed at this age. everything is so uncertain and its a real period of change. its hard to watch other people start to put their life together when you cant.
one thought that helps me is the idea that we are so young though. rely on your parents. figure out what you want to do. figure out your depression. take your meds, see your psych. get better. then try again. literally anything can happen. you just need to start trying to make the changes now. and yeah, lots of people have it harder, but that doesn’t matter and thats not the point. be selfish. and remember. literally. ANYTHING can happen. anything happens all the time.
