Well here goes…

i just turned 18 and graduated from high school. I have depression and took prozac for a year, quitting april 2008. I was alright until recently…my boyfriend of 3 years and i broke up (mostly because i know that i want to start dating other people) saturday night. He was a major part of my life and i lost a best friend. I;ve been worrying about college (i’m going to Naropa University) and while i think it’s a great place, i’m afraid of leaving my family, and since it’s such an unconventional school, i’m terrified of not being able to get a job. My friend just texted me angrily (because i told her i didnt want to hang out tonight and i guess i kinda blew off plans) and she told me i was rude…i just feel really horrible and like my entire life has fallen apart…i don’t know what to do?

Maybe first, star by trying to make-up with your friend.

Think about it - you just graduated high school, headed for college, and left your bf and blew off your friend. Sounds to me like you’re stressed to the gills and trying to weed out the “unneccesaries” in your life to help you cope?

my friend and i did just make up…but it’s everything piling up, you know? Maybe i am trying to weed out some things. I mean the breakup should be good for me and it ended well but it still hurts after three years if being with him…

Your leaving home to go to college and your frightened, correct?
It is understandably stressful when your life is changing. It’s not falling apart. The hurt is losing familiarity. The worry of being alone in your venture. Try not to worry about things that have not happened yet. Focus on today. (wow, that sounds corny, but you get the idea)

Life is filled with new and exciting things take time to enjoy them! It is ok to be scared or nervous or anxious! you have to be true to yourself and others! If your boyfriend of three years is truely your best friend he will understand! He is just hurt! He will be ok! You will be ok too!
