I haven't been on this site in awhile...so maybe it will be good to be back. I did enjoy the support I received on here last year when I really needed it.

So here's the scoop. I graduated from college with a degree in psychology in May. Over the summer I volunteered at a camp, and had a lot of fun. I met some great people, I finally felt like I had friends to turn to and wasn't as lonely.

But now I moved back to my old apartment. It's only my first week here. I've been looking for a job for a few months now. I had an interview earlier this week that went pretty well...but I'm still waiting to hear back.

I'm feeling pretty lonely right now, and kind of depressed. It's amazing what positive social support can do for me, seeing as how this summer I would say I was doing pretty well...but now that I'm somewhere where I have less friends...and less going for me at the moment, I'm not feeling so well.

I kind of want to call my old therapist and set up an appointment, but her rates are pretty expensive (though she is good)...and a lot of times I feel like I go in there without much to really talk about. It's nice to be able to write on here, where the feedback is free thanks to all of you who read and comment on this. I really appreciate it

Hello, and welcome back to PC!

First off, I'd like to say congrats on graduating with a degree in psychology! Well done!

Also, I wish you the best of luck in getting the job you applied for.

I'm sorry you're feeling kind of depressed, and I hope you're feeling better soon. Please know that you can post here anytime you need support...we're here to listen.

Yes, I too find that isolation is a trigger for my depression. Keep posting here, maybe it'll make you feel not so alone; but get out and about at well! Keep applying to jobs! Don't give up, even though your depression tells you to.

Try finding a cheap, good therapist.

You deserve to feel better!
