But I doubt that I'll ever become good enough for it to do me any real good. Sometimes I wonder if it was all just a waste of nearly six years of my life...

You know, I came across the same thing when I was in college. Then it dawned on me, if I try, I had a 1 in 100 chance of succeeding. Pretty grim, eh? Well, if I didn't try, I had 0 chance of succeeding. That's even worse. I was poor, so I had nothing to fall back on. So, I decided since I had nothing to lose, I may as well tried. Now, I think I have done well. Mistress Samwise, don't give up. You will win if you believe you can.

ugh, it's been almost a month. Should I just give up?

Don't give up! There are a lot of circumstances as to why she may not be online (believe me I've been in positions where it was hard for me to get online because there are so many things happening in my real life). I suggest you write her a nice e-mail. After all you may not know what might have happened. ^.^ I'm sure you'll talk to her again! Don't give up!^.^

Listen to GummiBear289. Her advice is sound.

Hang in there, dude.

I've sent like 4 and she hasn't read any of them.

spoiler (highlight to read):

oh well, if this doesn't work out, a friend of mine wants to introduce me to a "really cute" friend of hers.

spoiler (highlight to read):

Though things are shaky in the friend front, I have been on a euphoric cloud for almost two weeks.

spoiler (highlight to read):

I have serious trouble with feeling good. I tend to feel horrible or indifferent, so I have adjusted my lifestyle accordingly. However, lately I have been feeling really good, and it overwhelms me at times.

Amen to that!

Some of my friends here know this but, for the greater good, here goes

spoiler (highlight to read):

I am currently seeing a psychologist. She is helping me resolve issues that I have regarding my sense of worth and my relationships. I don't feel ashamed to be seeking the help because in the end I will be healthier and happier. I am not going because things are "my fault". I am going because I don't understand some things and want to figure it out. This only happened because my best friend encouraged me to go. I thank him for that.

I'm actually going to start seeing a psychologist soon. I think I have depression and social anxiety and I want to work it out before I end up a 40 year old virgin sitting in my parents' basement in my beige pajamas singing "I Wish I Were an Oscar Meyer Wiener"

I think this has never worked for me because I have a tendency to focus on things, including my problems, above and beyond most normal people. I'd give it a try, at least. I lost a crapload of weight doing this, so it isn't all bad!

Actually..

This is one of the things my psychologist told me to do. The endorphins help you feel good. A good walk will do the trick.

I exercise all the time for marching band, and I make going to the gym a regular habit. It just seems like, I can't get my mind off my problems. If i could go see a psychologist about it, I'd jump on it in a heartbeat, I too focus intentily on my porblems.
