Venting

Up until now I have seemed to have my emotions under control. Recently I have just started thinking about changing my major and I am in my 3rd year in college. I wouldn't be completely changing it but rather just dropping my emphasis.

I am lonely, depressed and scared and have no clue what to do. My friendship life practically is non-existant as most of my friends are 7 or 8 years younger than me. I feel like I can talk to them about anything. This makes for a bad recipe, as the fact that I rarely can do anything with them since they are still in middle school. I have not been able to sleep these past few nights and am just running towards the end of my line. I have thought about suicide previously but I know that's not the answer. I just don't know what to do anymore

On the friends line, making the first step to getting people to be your friend, is putting yourself out there. Simply join a couple of town or college functions that are being hosted. Maybe go to a certain function that appeals to your interests. Even talking to somebody next to you in class is helpful. The reasons why you can't sleep, is most likely because your stressed.

Try making friends from your college and of your age, if thats done then it may solve most problems have. You areright that suicude is not an answer. You can make friends in two months by getting interested in them rather than making friends in two years by letting them to get interested in you. Join some social groups.

1. Making friends is not that easy for me to do in the first place and it is just hard to do for me.
2. I talk to people who are in my classes but that's the extent of it. There is nothing else after that. I can't just always sit at home and do nothing, it just gets very repetitive and very boring.

It was just a really bad night last night because I couldn't do anything but think. When I think about things that is when I get myself into trouble.

I know its hard to make friends but you can always try. it will take time but it will happen. Approach to whom you talk in the class after the class,try to ask them for a movie.
