I get sudden bursts of what I call "realisation", where It just dawns on me that I really have a purpose of living. Its not the whole time, when I am around my friends I am very happy, but if I am sitting on my own at home, or at college where I dont have many good friends I get periods where I just really get temporarily paralyzed by the sensation that I have nothing to look forward to in life. I hate going to college during the week. I hate my work which is what I do on the weekends. All I can see in life is a fixed path of working until I die.

I guess you could say I am lonely. I only see my good friends every so often, as most of them have gone to different colleges, joined the army. I havent had a girlfriend for about 4 years, but there is this girl at the moment who I truely believe that I love. Just her texting me can bring me out of one of these moments, however when it dawns on me that she probably doesnt think the same way about me I go back to being like a vegetable, Thinking that whilst Im sitting here being useless she could be out with some other boy having the time of her life. In this state I dont know what to do.. My hobbies suddenly seem pointless, playing the guitar, paintballing, and If I try to do them I get distracted by nothing. I usually pass the time sitting in my room doing nothing, but staring at the floor, waiting for this girl to sign in on msn or text me. I feel that if I go out I will miss her, and miss the oppurtunity to speak with her and actually make something worthwhile in my life. The time passes by painfully slowly, Im just counting down the hours until I have to go back to work or back to college. I cant even sleep at night, I usually just lay awake thinking about nothing. I cant seem to rest. Last night I got home at around two in the morning and even though I was tired I couldn't sleep at all. I ended up laying awake al night.

I havent cried in probably about ten years but the other day I just sat alone and cried. I couldnt help it and I dont know what I was crying about.

Is this depression? If it is I need to know something that can help me solve it. I really think this is killing me.

Dont think its depression.

I feel simular to you and it isnt dont worry.

Okay from the top, with friends your happy without them your not.
Thats normal you just miss them.

Collage.
I feel the same, hate my subjects and work and it isnt stimulating.
In school im happy hanging with my mates but when i have work to do I cant be assed.

when I ought to be studying im looking through a sailing book.

Girls
yea same again, I like her does she like me?
When i figure out how to solve this i'll let you in on it, i know how you feel just do your best not to let it get you down.


Hobbies:
dont give them up it may be the only thing that will stimulate your brain, school send me into a veggie, if it wasnt for sailing I'd be so down.

I'm thinking of droping out of school and trying something else, anything I will find more fun and something I feel has a point.

At the mo I do Biology. protein structure i find pointless I dont care.
A sailing qualification in instucting and i see a point i can teach people to sail.

Not a money spinner but i'm happy

Just keep the chin up and dont let stuff get you down.
the more you sit and moan the more down you get then you do have a problem.

Just get out there, even just go for a jog round the block gets the brain motivated again.

Had a very bad weekend. Hasnt made matters any better.

My Grandad had a stroke and is now in hospital so my mum is distraught.
Also I properly asked this girl out and she said she really liked me but didnt want a relationship at this time.

I see her later walking around in town holding one of my mates hands. Found out they had been fucking behind my back for god knows how long..
