Lately, I have been feeling extremely depressed and sad about many things.
It all began when I failed two out of five classes last term (and thus demoting me to "Academic Probation"). I was majoring in Game Development at the time (classes in which video games are made and such).
But, I also had an addiction issue. Playing video games is one of the ways that makes me happy and smile. Other activities I like are drawing and writing stories. However, the video game addiction and the fact that I did not bother to show up at one of these failing classes (because I could not find the help I needed, no matter where I looked) really made my emotions dive deep into the ground. Add on the fact that I have to pay $19K in government money in 6 years makes things a LOT difficult.
I just wish I can have the right balance between school and fun. I'm doing my best to get by (with or without help), but I do not even know how at this stage.
LG, I was in the same situation twenty years ago, except my problems were beer, TV, and a full-time job. I gave up the beer and TV, and haven't taken either back up since. I'm much better off because of it. Giving up the job part is next:)
I'm really impressed. But, what kind of job do you have? And do you like doing it? Have you considered asking for lesser hours?
(Sorry, just wanted to get it out there and help you out too.)
And... how did you give up on the beer and the TV? How did they both affect you?
