I feel as though nothing's going right in my life at this point....

Or at least I can't remember exactly what is.

I moved to an apartment? I'm on my own? Great.
I have to buy my own food, among other things, and I am almost broke from trying to cover everything.
My parents are too deeply in debt to ever be able to help me.
I burned my roommate's pot, so I will have to buy her a new one, and finally buy my own pots which I cannot afford. She probably hates me now anyway. Bad. Bad. and Worse.

I have a bunch of friends that I didn't used to have? Great.
I have no one I feel close enough to confide in or talk to when I'm hurting like I am now.
I have no shoulder to cry on.
I have no one who wants me as more than a friend, no matter how many of them I ask. Bad. Bad. Shi@!y.

I have a group assignment for the whole class in my tv production class, so everyone can pitch in. Good.
Only me and one girl are actually doing any work.
I reserved video cameras and sacrificed my next two weekends for this bull, and only one other person has volunteered to help me.
I still have to do my individual assignment due in 2 weeks and the stupid student producers have not gotten back to me, I have no one to be my actors, and I have no idea where I'm going to film it. Horrible. Awful. F*cked.

I'm a senior in college, it's almost over! Finally...
I am a "girl" in school, and no one calls me Nate except for friends....
I have a recognizable face that people always seem to remember, and I am afraid someone will be in one of my classes next semester when I go as Nate and recognize me, bust me....
I hate this.

For every good, I can think of three or more bad things.

I know it gets better...I HOPE it gets better...

But I feel so horrible right now. It's like nothing's going right for me...

Note: There's much more on my mind than those 3 major issues, but I don't feel like typing out all my problems right now. The post would be far too long.

hey Nate. Don't really have any advice or anything as I'm asking the same question myself!  :laugh:
But I'm here to listen if you want.

Sometimes all you can do is take it one day at a time.

For me, it helps to focus on one problem at a time - figure out what I can do to make it better, and make a plan to deal with it as much as I can. Then move on to the next problem. Once I have a strategy, it doesn't look as overwhelming. (Your mileage may vary, of course.)

End of college/ beginning of post-college life is just rough in general. It does get better.

That's a good way of looking at it.

That's ok Nero :) It makes me feel slightly better to know that these feelings are not bound by age in any means.
