    I hate my life right now :( Thing just seem ****. I hate my college course, I come home everyday and I stay all day in my room. I have friends but I'm just not bothered making the effort to see them. I'm gay aswell which I find depressing. I'm single and I miss having a boyfriend. I don't know whats wrong with me. I don't feel suicidal or anything, I just feel so low and not bothered doing anything :(

    Have you considered making an appointment with your college counsellor? Don't worry, it's nothing new, they'll have heard it all before.

    A problem shared is a problem halved!

    Best of Luck!

    Hi OP... I can relate to you as I was exactly where you are now a few months ago. I am female however. What I will say is that counselling is definitely an option (and something that everyone will suggest to you!) but nothing will solve the issue without you being proactive.

    I was in the same situation where I would just come home in the evening, sit on my laptop and become seriously depressed. And I can tell you that this is a vicious circle, because while you are doing these things because you feel unhappy/lack of motivation/depressed, doing these things will make you more depressed than you already are.

    Im still not completely happy and still "feeling crap" from time to time, but I have to say that I am doing much better than I was 4-5 months ago. What helped me was no matter how low/crappy or down I was feeling, I forced myself to go out and do things with my friends/family or anyone. And you would be surprised, even though you feel like crap and totally unhappy when you go out to meet people, you will feel ten times better once you're out there.

    How I did it was forcing myself to say "yes" to (almost) everything I was invited to. I convinceed myself I would enjoy it, and with time I found I was looking forward to and enjoying it without thinking! If I came home in the evening and found myself feeling low, and I had no plans, I would immediately make plans, be that to go see my family, my friends, or even go for a walk or a run.

    You woul d be surprised how great exercise makes you feel. I started running recently and I have never felt better. I hate going out and dragging myself out the door but once I blast my feel good music, get going and come home and have a shower and a cup of tea, Im feeling tons better.

    Would you consider joining groups or societies at college? They are a great way to make new friends and find something you enjoy that you look forward to.

    Hope you will be ok OP. You will get through this. Positivity is the key.
