Fix one thing at a time. Focus on getting full nights sleep and getting good grades.
Also, I'm pretty sure your parents love you no matter what. So stop worrying about that. Wish I had more/better advice to give. Does your school have counseling services? If so, avail yourself of them. |

It's totally normal, bro. Sometimes life just sucks. That pain shouldn't be interpreted as "I'm totally fucked". It is your incentive to change things so it gets better. I know where you're coming from. I wrote that same letter almost ten years ago, telling myself it was a writing exercise, kind of an argument with myself as to what I should do. I felt like I had lost everything, and had nothing to look forward to. I had a choice: wallow in misery, or start working to change things. In the spirit of GD, I did both. I wallowed in the misery, whined, drank tons of whiskey, wrote dark missives about how there was no hope, and at the same time I kept working. I figured I had nothing to lose, so I would fight. I have a wonderful family and a great life now. I fought for it. I earned it. That's how it is for everybody, mostly. |

I was always unpopular in HS and my one year of college. I always felt like an outsider. I was always picked on. I had a hard time meeting people, girls especially.
I joined the US Navy Nuke program. I learned how to study (I never had to study growing up, or anytime in school.). I made friends with other folks like me. I accomplished things. I saw the world. I finished my degree while on active duty. I made friends that I still keep in touch with today. (I left the Navy in mid-2001) The Navy got me away from NE Ohio. It got me out of my little world and showed me what else is out there. It gave me the opportunity to learn life skills; Not just technical ones, but how to make friends, how to meet girls, how to present myself. It gave me the ability to find my self-worth. No, I never felt suicidal, but in college for my shining one year, I was like, "Why am I here? This doesn't even matter. There's going to be 100 of us with the same degree flooding the marketplace in 3.5 years...." The USAF is another good place to be. You can learn life skills in any branch, but the AF and Navy has fields that relate directly to real life if you want to get out. You are the captain of your own ship. You control your own destiny. Are you making a life for yourself that can be made into a book? If not, why not? If you are depressed, get help. There is lots of good info in this thread. (I would skip the "Booze" option though...) |

I agree on the sleep part. It's not out of line to take a sleep aid on occasion or even regularly for a short time to break a pattern. A good nights sleep can completely change your attitude. Women are just people. You CAN talk to them. |

First off don't beat yourself up or get hungup on shit you can't control. Trouble with women? Don't try so hard...Go out and do stuff, shooting, camping, hiking, working out etc...Guess what? Women like to do that stuff also so that increases your odds of finding someone you are compatible with. If not, again don't beat yourself up. Grades. What exactly is the issue? Not studying ? Don't understand the material? Can't focus? If the first, than start working harder...if the second, seek help via the teachers or a tutor, if the third, than either seek help in that or learn how to focus. Honestly though, it sounds like you have some issues or depression you are working through...It couldn't hurt to go talk to a school guidance counselor. |
