Question:
I'm rarely like this, but for the first time in months, I feel like I'm really depressed. You see, this week has been one of the best and worst things to ever happen to me.
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, my girlfriend and I took our relationship to a whole new level, but at the same time, I lost one of my best friends because we called him and we wouldn't leave him alone. He was studying for a test at his school and we didn't understand how impotant it was. And now my gf is moving into her dorm in eastern Kentucky and I won't be able to see her for a while.
On Thursday, I went to my university's Freshman Overnight stay, where I had a great time with other Catholics like me. I'm going to help out with the move in mass tomorrow. This was the other good thing that happened this week.
But last night was terrible. All I simply did was call up this girl from work to see if she and bf and other friends would want to go to the state fair. But then her phone went out, so I assumed it had a low power. I called back to see what happened and confirm the plans. Then I got a phone call from HER this time. I answered it and it was her bf. He threatened me to stop calling her or he'd hurt me (and I won't say what it was). Then everything overwhelmed me and I went to bed crying. I NEVER cry, but this time I did. I thought I was over all this but for the first time in a while, I really hate my life.
I was hoping you guys would be there for me right now. I really need my friends right now. My birthday is tomorrow, but it's not that big a deal (well maybe it is). I just really want some encouragement for now. Thanks guys.
[SIZE=3]So sorry that you are feeling depressed...I hate that feeling too...Around Birthday time it seems even worse...I don't know why, but that happens to me too...As you already know, you have to hang in there and go and do something else that is distracting...
I want to wish you a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW, in case I forget...

Thank you Rich, I will PM you sometime. And I'm sorry to hear about that dentist of yours. Your old one will comeback soon, trust me.
You are going through the toughest and at the same time the most memorable years of your life right now, Quinn. Getting from teen to adult is an emotional roller coaster. There is so much going on and so many changes and adjustments to make. But You will get through it. We are here for support and we'll do what we can to help. I hope your Birthday is Great tomorrow,

Hi Quinn,
I've not posted to you before, but your message caught my attention for a couple of reasons. Going to sleep crying was one. That is not a happy place to be.
You are, as Lottie pointed out, at a time in your life when there are a lot of changes happening. You are certainly in transition as you move into new living arrangements and get used to life at University.
There are couselors available on campus to talk to about these issues and feelings, and I suggest you seek them out. If nothing else, they can help you to know that your feelings are normal. If you are having some symptoms of depression, they can tell you about that and lead you in the direction of help. Please remember that the goal here is for you to feel well and get sorted out as you begin a new part of your life. Needing some extra help with that is not a shortcoming or any sort of failure. Far from it, if you ask for some help you are displaying the responsible approach as an adult in understanding your own needs and taking positive action.
I hope to see a post from you soon, and wish you the best success with your studies.

Happy birthday dear one!! The friend will come around. Sounds like he was a bit stressed. And the boyfriend won't bother he was being macho (and insecure).
You are a wonderful, bright and sensitive young man with a wonderful life ahead of you.
Have a wonderful day today and know that you have oodles of friends right here!
XOXO
Everyone, thank you. I couldn't have asked for better friends. I love you all! :)
And I also wanted to say my classes start tomorrow, so I might be gone for a little bit, but that doesn't mean I'm leaving! I'll be back really soon!
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to dig into that NYC style cheescake! :D
