Yeah, I know a lot of people get depressed and it's good to talk about it when you are. There are a lot of great people to talk to, and I'd like to talk to some people. I don't want to mess up some other thread and I don't want this to be about me so this is for everybody.

 

So this is my rant. I just moved back in the house with my parents again so I can go to school from living in lonely hickville while I did my lonely co-op job. I was supposed to move furniture out of my house and start school, but as soon as school started we went to california for a week while my grandmother was dying. Those were not exciting days as you might imagine. So now I want to be normal. I have a lot of free time on my hands since I'm waiting to get put on a work schedule and I dropped a lot of classes since I missed the first 3 weeks of school basically. Oh yeah, and I don't have anyone to really talk to here at home.

There are a lot of other things, but it's all so detailed it doesn't really matter why I'm depressed right now. The important part is just feeling better.

Living with your parents is a bad idea.. I learned that and moved out as soon as I could.

well I can't afford not to live with them right now.

Get a job?

haha, I am. but I don't want to waste my money when I can save like 800 dollars a month staying here unless I have a better job :/

See, I don't see it as 'wasting', I would waste my mind if I lived at home. Mind you, I am in university, so I have to be away from home to do that.

right now I and my family are not exactly in good financial situations. I want to save up so that when I finish my degree I will be in a good financial situation. Being at home however is not the main reason I'm depressed.

oh that sucks, thankfully im not at that age YET, but it must be hard? nice picture ne way. im not really depressed, just sometimes when i slip from one personality to another. But thats the way it goes, can do nothing about it, no point anyway because ill miss it when its gone! :confused:

I'm bankrupt, and on the street :cry:

aww eric hope things get better sugar :kiss:

 

although we're on the other side of the world, we're here to listen and give you any emotional support that you may need :kiss:

oh eric, i'm so sorry...I really hope things get better!I'll keep my fingers crossed for that...everyone has some bad moments, so don't worry, everything is gonna be ok, I'm sure...just be patient and nice moments will come, you'll see! ;)

hope you'll feel better soon.............take care... :kiss:

Yeah, well I think you are right. Especially if you don't get along well with your parents.

 

Anyway this will cause a lot of problems, when I start studying next year. It's not that I don't wanna work, but I don't know how much time I will have. In our country it depends on your parents salary if you receive any money for your studies, I won't because my parent earn to much. Here your parents have to support me, but I've been already told that they won't. My mum said that she would like to support me, but I don't think it's her that makes the decisions.

 

This makes me worried, because it will be very difficult to find a job you earn enough.

right now I and my family are not exactly in good financial situations. I want to save up so that when I finish my degree I will be in a good financial situation. Being at home however is not the main reason I'm depressed.

 

I absolutely understand this... I think many people feel the same way. :/

I hope your situation gets better soon. :)

Thanks a lot everybody! It means a lot to me to know people care. Yeah, I have a lot of those minutes and I figure a lot of people do. Sally I hope you can find a good job. What kind of job are you looking for?

I don't really know what I should be looking for myself. I mean when I leave school I might have a Matura, but I don't have an aprentiship and I have not much profesional experience. I don't think anybody's really looking for a student, at least not for one that just started to study.

 

A friend of mine works in a bar in her free time and I have sometimes helped her out. But I can't do a job like this because I wouldn't earn enough. :/

I really hope I start trading on forex for real when I turn 18.

:)

That would be my dream job.

I guess by Matura you mean degree? Have you declared a major? You might be able to apply for a co-op related to your major while you're in school. If your school has a career department you can probably go there and ask. As an engineer it's something I basically had to do so that when I graduate I would be able to get a job. Like you said not many people want to hire a student with no professional experience in certain fields such as engineering.

Well, our school system is different to the English or American. To get the Matura we have to do exams in many diffrent subjects (German, French, English, Spanish, Mathematics, Biology, Economics, History) When you have the Matura you are not spezialized. You can go to Uni and study every subject you want.

Oh, that's a lot of languages to study. I can only speak one :disappointed:

So how long does it take to get a Matura? I'm just curious because right now if I wanted I could finish my degree in about one and a half more years and I'm only about a year older than you.

Well, I think I can only speak one well and that's German. I think you are lucky that you don't have to learn so many languages in the USA.

 

You can go to a Gymnasium after you have finished school which takes nine years. The Gymnasium takes four years and if you pass the final exams you get the Matura.

 

And when I got the Matura I'll have to study five years again. Our system seems to be very different.

oohhh.. eric! i hope everything gets well for you :kiss:

 

you are a great dude with a great sense of humour and im sure you will be ok no matter what.

im sorry i cant give you a "good" advice, but i cant imagine being in your situation, because ive never moved out of my house and because im really close to my parents ive never thought about that :/

 

however i think everyone here is going to support you, and make you feel better (like mrs hojita for example :P )i know it sounds weird that in some way a forum is going to make you feel better, but well for me is has done it, there has been times when i dont feel like being in my school or in my house so i just come and take everything out here by posting like a mad girl and knowing that there are people here that might help me, makes me feel really good.

 

so...in conclusion..dont worry all you have to know is that anything lasts forever, you are going to be happy and jumping someday. you only have to find good things that make you fell happy and try not to stuck with your problems :)

 

take care ;) :kiss:

i live with my parents and for the same reasons as Eric, parents are not always the problem...i have to try really hard to get my confidence going but practice makes perfect..

and i feel like im going nowwhere also like someone else posted here.

just do what you love in your study, work whatever otherwise you'll feel :(

 

hope everyone here feels better by venting stuff here...

 

 

 

thanks for the thread.

:nice: thanks a million andrea and everybody.

That's kind of what I was aiming for was having a place for people to vent and have their problems heard and feel like somebody cares. I know people do now :)
