I miss college...

Post Reply New Topic

I've been dealing with self-doubt issues lately. It seems like I'm starting to doubt anything and everything. I'm obsessing over things I don't wanna obsess over. My therapist concluded that my depression and anxiety have gotten worse since I was forced to leave school 2 years ago. She's not wrong. I really did feel more confident being in school, even if it was mostly online for the last semester or 2. It felt like I was actually doing something with my life. Then later, I'd get my degree and help other people. But now I'm not doing much of anything except watching videos, playing "The Sims 3" and blogging. The good thing is I rediscovered a long buried love of writing.



I'm not expecting any responses. I just needed to vent.

I'll just say I understand and I'm in a similar situation. I'm at a point of starting over in a lot of ways. I miss school. I went there and felt weird because there are these kids starting college. All I can think about is where I am and how I didn't finish up with my degree. I feel incomplete.

So do I. I finished stuff, even got an MA, but ever since I left college, everything became about money and serving the client what he wants. But I have to spend my life making it, in order to sustain myself and make more stuff for the client. The client never wants 'as good as you cam do it", but always "30% faster amd 30% cheaper".
I miss the high standards on my work I had in college.

Good you found a liking towards writing. We all have memories we miss in life. But remember, eventually leaving or finishing college was going to happen. As the saying goes, "All good things must come to an end".

I think you working on a blog sounds cool too.
