I don't feel like I will make it anywhere. I feel like I'm drowning in the ocean, watching everything else around me disappearing. I don't know what to do. I don't feel as though I know who I am anymore. I don't have a good support system...I just feel incredibly alone. Wondering how everyone else does it because I try so hard...It's so hard to have a good day I get so jealous of people outside smiling and laughing, getting married, having kids, etc...While I just watch. I hope some can relate because I feel so alone |
You are clearly functioning in school. Would it help to get involved in an extracurricular activity (club/sport/study group...). And do remember, there are times (yes there are) people have seen you laugh and be happy---when we are depressed it is easy to imagine those smiling "doing" people are having it easy but that isn't necessarily so, they may be lonely too.
