Graduation Depression

Published

I graduate next week and I feel like my whole life has fallen apart. I have never felt more depressed in my life. Over the course of this year taking my LPN course I have consistently maintained valedictorian status. I am very good at school. In the process my relationship of 6 years ended, I hardly ever have any quality time with my toddler, and I know that I am clinically depressed. I have no desire to do anything and force myself to just get my school work done. My house is a wreck and so is my life. I'm not even excited to graduate, I'm angry because of everything I lost to get here. Sorry, I just needed to vent. I hate nursing school.

Are you getting some professional help? Sounds like that would be a good idea. Congratulations and best wishes --

I have, but just therapy. Its just tough I guess. My 2 older kids live out of state and my now ex wife is completely unsupportive. Hopefully it will be better after graduation when I can get out of Minnesota...

Hugs. You have a lot going on. I'm glad you vented. :) Please take care of yourself, which it sounds like you are doing. But, a hot bath, massage, kick boxing class...whatever recharges you might be worth exploring. :)
