I grew up the happiest person ever. My middle school years were so fun. I was known and liked by everyone. It was awesome getting to know girls and starting to get involved with them. High School came around and I took advantage of it like a kid in the movie. I partied, didn't take the drama seriously, and I lived it up. I played baseball, football, and basketball all four years. Unfortunately, all of this made my grades suffer. However, I got into 12 out of the 13 colleges I applied to and everything was flawless. I have the greatest friend and my best, Brittany, has been there for me since day 1.

I am now a sophomore in college and all of a sudden, nothing makes me happy anymore. Sports used to be my "escape." Now, I play sports and it just doesn't make me happy. I go out to parties and everything... doesn't make me happy. When I am sober, I am not happy. When I'm drunk, I have a great time. It's not a good thing.

My best friend, Brittany, is who keeps me going. I cannot live without her. Unfortunately, she goes to college 1000 miles away and we see each other only when we go home for breaks. It's tough because I could use her so much to help me feel better than I have. I tell her everything going on in my life and while it helps to talk to her on the phone, it's not the same as what it is in actuality.

I've thought about suicide. I don't think I have the capability to do that to myself, but it's crossed my mind numerous times. I think about what I'm doing now being a student in college, it makes everyone happy to see me doing well, except myself. What am I going to college for? What am I living for? I'm living to just... I don't even know.

Maybe it's being away from my family and friends. Maybe it's the stress of school.

I have a lot of friends at my University now, but none that I can fully trust and open up to, which makes it hard.

I'm just so mentally and physically drained that I actually look forward going to sleep.

Why am I like this? Nothing makes me happy anymore and the only person that knows how to comfort and make me happy isn't even here with me most of the time now that college has come around.

Maybe there isn't much of a question here, but I needed a place to just drop my feelings and hope that someone is there reading this and can relate to it.

One love, everyone.

I can agree with the nothing making you happy anymore, same thing for me. really all I can say is what the previous poster said is talk to someone, it may be a few things, Best way to get help with it. And if you do get help with it you'd be one step ahead of me.

If you haven't been there long it could just be that you haven't yet settled in and are anxious about what's going to happen, sometimes it takes longer for things to settle down. And maybe you feel alone because you havent made any new friends yet ?

Things will sort themselves out soon enough I'm sure but if you need to talk or need advice well your doing the right thing by posting on here.If they still don't settle down, go and talk to your doctor, and maybe your family. Maybe that university(sorry if its not uni) isnt right for you.


Sometimes we lose who we are, and it takes time for us to find ourselves again. We find ourselves no longer good at things we used to be, no longer enjoying the things that made up our lives before. But you've got the chance of a fresh start, grab it by the balls and live everyday like its your last.

I hope this is of some help, and if you ever need to talk feel free to pm me.
