How to stop feeling depressed? - Fort Lauderdale guy - 04-08-2014 04:30 PM
I am 18 and love my life and have great friends and stuff but I feel so depressed lately. I am stuck in this crappy job (quit in May) and will graduate high school then but i feel so down about girls. I keep making my decisions pretending I am going to be able to be to be with this girl who will be going to the college I work at. I don't know her but see her all over social media and went to school with her sister and know I need to move on. I won't be going to this college but will be in the same town. I know I will be happier if I focus on myself but it's just hard. Like I know I need to stop thinking about her and focus on myself and stop letting this stress me out so much.

Hey, you are having some real deep emotions. Perhaps some anxiety (you've posted this question before).
Since it is affecting you so much, you really need to see a counselor. You will be amazed as to how refreshed you will feel after laying everything out (you've have much more relief than you get when you read YA answers to your questions).
Right now, you are so very focused on the Here and Now, and part of that is normal for your age. However, you really need to understand that you need to keep everything "in check" for your future. Your future will be MUCH more satisfying if you just hold out and plan ahead.
Seriously, though, it's clear that you are not going to get better by yourself. You've read the answers to your prior posts and still are left unsatisfied. That tells me you really need to get with a counselor. Since you are 18, the counseling will be completely confidential and they will NOT release info to your parents.
Hang in there, things will get better.
