Starting College
Depression Support / by genericusername2019
Last post
October 8th, 2015
...See more I just started college (university) about two weeks ago, and I'm scared shitless. My roommates seem like nice guys, but but I feel kind of distant from everyone. I feel alone. I know this seems trivial compared with some of the problems other people who post on this sub have, but I have a pretty good reason to be scared I think. I've been to 3 different high schools, and I was miserable at my first two. I was diagnosed with depression my Freshman year, and I tried to kill myself my sophomore year. I was hospitalized for a couple of weeks where I got a little better, but I still felt like shit. Then my third school came along and I almost instantly started feeling great. I bonded with a lot of people and I had a really great time in general. But now that I'm at college, I feel completely alone. I manage to put on a smile and a laugh for the people who live on my floor, but I wouldn't really say I have any friends. I'm scared that I'm going to digress back to the extreme misery I felt my sophomore year. I've been taking Zoloft for about 5 fucking years now, and I really want to stop taking it, but I'm scared that if I do, things will get much worse than they already are. I'm already thinking about transferring colleges, thinking that maybe I just chose the wrong college, but I don't really know what to do. If you've managed to read this all the way through, thanks.
