[Disordiano]

Uh, yeah, it's been a tough week overall. Last night I was so depressed it was hard to breathe.

I woke up this morning feeling a lot better and I am still, but again not quite right still.

The main issue would be that at 28, it is too hard for me to start getting my life into some order.

I have so much to do.

a/ find a career path

b/making friends

c/ marriage

d/house

e/ . . . well, that probably most of it, but it's a lot of work, so yeah I was just depressed by it all, I would have to become an entirely different person for all this to occur.

Anyway, nice chatting with you.

Disordiano.

Well, I, for one have felt that way at many points in my life.
Just remember that you can't do it all at once. Take a deep breath and get your priorities in order as best you can. One step at a time.
This is a great place to come. Everyone here is soooooo supportive and understanding.

Disordiano,

I agree with Just Peachy, set your priorities, and then focus on step at a time.

As you approach 30, you realize your own mortality hits you. You start to realize you don't have forever to get done what you want to get done in this lifetime.

Setting priorities is the key.

You have found a wonderful place to learn about yourself and grow.

If I may rewrite your priorities.

a. breath
b. notice the moment and the beauty around you
c. do what you love and the rest will follow

Sounds trite and over simplistic, but that is what I learnt as I tried to tug life into place with what I thought was important. (house, spouse, career, etc). After years of beating myself up over my inability to manifest the same list as you, I fell from the pedastal of my adult illusions of what makes a person happy and had to relearn what we learned as kids. Life is the simple pleasures. Peace is in appreciation. A lot can change in a year and you can't predict all the good things that will come you way.

WELL PUT!

all i can say really is that those things on your list link together, and so when you are ready to do one thing, ie, make friends for example, the rest will fall into place. you have to be ready for these things, otherwise you wont get anywhere.

its all very well us saying what we should be doing, but we have to appreciate the moment we live in too. some people arent as blessed as us, they cant do anything with their life, due to one thing or another. the point im making is that you should try not to be so hard on yourself. depression is hard and does make us feel that we are useless and that we have achieved nothing, but you have achieved alot and there is still plenty of time for you to achieve the things you want.

things will work themselves out for you in time, just take it a day at a time.

take care and stay strong.

I have felt the way you have disordiano. But I can truthfully say that no matter how old you are, there is always a future. I agree with Simon: one day at a time, one goal at a time, accomplishment at a time
Take care!
