This is my first time creating a post. I’m not to sure how it works, but I’m will to give it a try. For the last 4 months, I’ve been feeling really depressed because I feel like I’m a failure who is doing nothing with their life. I feel like my parents expect so much from me after I graduated but I am having a hard time find a job. I feel like I’m constantly in competition with other yet I have no one in my life. I’ve been feeling lonely even though I have 2 people in my life telling me I am not alone. Every day I wake up thinking my life is nothing and I have no one.

Hi,welcome to the site.

You aren't alone! My oldest son felt the same way. He dropped out of college, because it wasn't for him. His g'parents were constantly on his butt about going to school and finding a better job. He felt like a huge disappointment to them. I told him, he should be proud of what he accomplished. He had graduated high school, worked at the same job for 7 years ( working his way up), he was a loyal friend, someone people loved being around. I told him to live his life for himself, not worry about how others felt about him.

You have graduated college. That is something to be very proud of. Pick out some of you other accomplishments, no matter how big or small. When you are feeling down, remind yourself if all you HAVE accomplished!

Graduating is a very difficult thing. So many expectations. It’s overwhelming. I didn’t handle it well either and it caused me problems. You just have to try. You will submit resumes and eventually get some replies. It will feel so much better.

Not what you're looking for?
