My delusions come crashing down and I realize, I screwed up…

I just experienced the loneliest moment of my life. I was crying my eyes out and then I realized… I had no one to call. Why was I crying? Because I finally realized that I’ve wasted 2 1/2 years of my life. My delusions and distractions came crashing and I realized that I am pretty much a high school drop out. No, not pretty much, I officially am. I was going to get my GED and everything and continue on to college like normal, but my dad has not taken me to get my GED yet or my liscence (so I can’t drive myself). I tried to stay positive about it but it just all hit me. I’ve been avoiding the truth of the matter that I’ve just been slacking, simple as that, and if I couldn’t handle high school work, what deluded me into thinking I could just go off and handle college level work? I just suddenly feel like a huge failure and, to make it worse, there’s no one for me to talk to about it. I just had to talk about it… Thank you for listening whoever reads this. It means a lot.

“High school level” and “college level” is kinda deceptive. College and High Schools are two entirely different environments; if you have your GED, I feel like there’s a good chance you could at least try to take on a college environment.

To be frank, feeling like a failure blows. It’s not fun. But now isn’t the time to think of those things. Now is the time to think of how you can drive yourself in the future.

Good luck, keep your chin up.

I know exactly how you feel. Stay positive! Thats all you can do right? Go back to school. It’s as simple as that. Do a little research and don’t get discouraged. You’re clearly smart enough to use a computer and post this here. Search things that will help you! It doesn’t hurt to ask for help if you need it!

hey anon. I feel your pain (I’ve been having similar thoughts lately), and I wish you all the best for the future.

but that said, I have a thought for you that may not be comforting… the fact that you have no one to call seems to me a far more worrying problem than the fact that you are a dropout. a ged can be obtained at pretty well any point in your adult life, and some level of higher education (even if not your first choice) will likely still be available for you whenever you are ready to pursue it; but being alone in this world is something that is a lot harder to fix, and a lot more relevant to whether or not you are happy in your life…
