I'm just in a time of transition right now. I just graduated from college last week, with my degree in psychology. I just got home a few days ago. It's always strange coming home. For some reason I feel distance from my family. And so far I haven't really seen any friends. I'm just feeling lonely, and depressed. I'm still on my medicine though...but I think just the time of transition is making me feel weird. I wish there was a therapist that I could go to, but I don't really feel like seeing someone just once while I'm in town, so I thought this would be a good place to post. I almost forgot about this site for a while. Imagine that. Must have been doing better than I thought? Or it just slipped my mind. Anyways, it's nice to have a place like this where I can get support from wherever I am any time.
Maybe I'm just feeling down on myself too because I don't have a job lined up yet for the fall. I have a volunteering job this summer, away from home, and I'll have a few friends there....so that will be good. But in the fall, I'm planning to move back to where I went to school and get a job. Just need to work on getting that secured, or started in that process in the next two weeks. I just don't like this overwhelming feeling of change. It makes me feel anxious. Plus I don't want to be one of those people that depends on my parents into my mid thirties. Ugh...okay now I'm just being bitter. Any support would be lovely

  A bit low on words today but thought I'd send some hugs to help you through.

Why don't you take some time for yourself?
Change can really be overwhelming, it makes me too quite anxious and unsettled. Now that you have finally nothing to worry about (no more classes, no exams and no job yet) would be the perfect time to just relax for a few days and do something for yourself. You already have plans for the summer, so the search for a job for the fall can wait for a while

I think a lot of people feel anxious about change. It's natural.
Congrats for graduating from college

Everything will fall into place, you'll get your job. Life is full of changes. All you can do is try to adapt and keep moving forward. Trust me, I know, my husband is military and we have to uproot everything and move with our children every couple of years... I hope that everything works out for you.
