Someone to talk to about my worries?

    Hey everyone,

    I'm a young college student in UCD and my head is always going a hundred miles an hour with lots of worries and questions. There are a lot of things on my mind at the moment including me having doubts about my relationship (I've been going out with a girl 3 years), what am I going to do after college, and other things that are relatively small compared to others problems but I still feel directionless and lost in life. I wrote out a full list of things that are bothering me and I was wondering do any of you know of any good places in Dublin or indeed UCD that offer a talking service, where I could go to talk to somebody confidentially and they can help you work out your minds problems through their experience?

    Thanks for reading and appreciate any suggestions :)

    OP, UCD has a free and confidential student counseling service specifically to provide support for students such as yourself. That would be my first port of call if I were you, as they have dealt with such issues many times before in the student population and can help to point you in the right direction. The fact that you have written out a list of the things bothering you is a good thing - it shows that you have put a lot of thought into this - and I would bring that list with you when going to see the student counselor.

    Good luck.

    Don't forget the student advisers, chaplaincy and the SU Welfare Officer are also there if students need someone to talk to if you can't get an immediate appointment with the counselling service. At the very least, they'll be able to tell you some of the services that are available to you: http://www.ucd.ie/studentcounselling/universitysupportservices/

    Even talking to a lecturer or tutor may help you if you've worries about your course and what you could do after college.
