i’m not doing well in classes.

i’m super depressed. i would never hurt myself but i think about how i’d like to end this pointless journey now… every minute i’m awake. nothing is really all that bad. except that i have no accomplishments. none. i don’t even have a job i worked in long enough to put on a resume. i’m a senior in college.. who is going to be a super senior.i’ve dropped so many classes i can’t remember now. my gpa is going down… and at a fast rate. 3.5 to a 3.0.. and this semester is going to knock me below the B average. i won’t be able to get into grad school and with my major i don’t think i can find any decent jobs. things with my boyfriend of almost three years isn’t going well. not sure how long i can stay in a LDR with him.. especially if he goes somewhere far for med school. on top of all this i have anxiety problems/panic attacks and suffer from vertigo. i can hardly sit through class without difficulties. things are not the worst they could be by far. but i’ve lost the point of all this. i’m just another organism on this earth that is consuming resources until i die.

Whoa. You’ve got a lot going on in your life right now. I’m a super senior asking myself many of the same questions. Does your campus offer advising for seniors who need help with career choices? It wouldn’t hurt to try that out if it’s available. Also, whatever your major is, maybe you can talk with some of your professors about what they’ve done to help them get qualified for a job.
Maybe you can try and get an internship or some volunteer work somewhere within that major to help give you experience.
Long distance relationships seem really difficult. Have you talked with your boyfriend about how you feel with what may happen in the future? It is important to be open and honest with him about how you feel so he can make decisions with that in mind.

take a deep breath. you have a life and a good one . you are not loveless. you are in college. those are accomplishments. and 3 years together is nothing to joke about.
you need to talk to those who are close to you and look for a therapist.
anxieties come from repressed emotions. you will enjoy venting to someone in a healthy way.
take a mini vacation. you will be fine. you may feel small now but look at a child and how happy they are. lots to learn from our little ones.
you have accomplishments, so focus on them and not the broad picture.
ever hear the phrase, how do you eat an elephant? one bite at a time.
you need to focus in on the things that got you this far.

i own my own manufacturing company and was kicked out of college. been in business for 15 years, hard times come and they go.
good luck you will be fine.
you cared enough to ask complete strangers so now ask the strange (question) to someone who cares.

Hi !

I think there comes a point when you would feel that you fell in a large hole, and everyone and everything around you is pushing you further down. Now, it’s time to stand up and open your eyes. Ask yourself, what do you want out of your life. You seem to me like a caring and hard working person. You care about your grades and wants to continue your studies. So if that’s what you want, what’s keeping you from achiving it ? It can be very hard, but you have to remember that you are an important person and not inferior to anyone else. Make your goals clear and reach for them only. Don’t be afraid to speak up if something is bothering you and have a long conversation with your boyfriend. I’m sure there are a lot of people in your life who care for you and are ready to help you. Once you have cleared your head and talked out your problems with your family/ friends/ professional helpers, you will feel better.

Good luck.
