<p>I miss my best friend, the guy i was dating, my car, my life. I know no one here. I'm seriously so depressed already I keep randomly crying and I'm so so lonely. help mee i don't know what to do ):</p>
<p>^ You can man the hell up, that’s what you can do.</p>
<p>You can start by taking the diapers off.</p>
<p>Give it more time.</p>
<p>can the mods please move this to the parents forum so that the OP can get some serious feedback? thank you!!</p>
<p>wow thanks for the kind words of support…</p>
<p>well maybe you should drop out and go back to your family.</p>
<p>Um no do not drop out.
You have to leave the nest.
You’re 18/17 years old.
It’s time to grow up and experience new things.
You’ll see your car, family, friends, and boyfriend again.
Go explore yourself.</p>
<p>^ That is serious feedback.</p>
<p>As serious as it comes.</p>
<p>Drink your man-up juice and stop crying about missing home. You’re an adult now.</p>
<h2>wow thanks for the kind words of support… ~ jackdaniels</h2>
<p>Who picks the screen name “Jack Daniels” and then posts about secretly crying because they miss home and their boyfriend?</p>
<p>Men who drink jack daniels don’t do that stuff. They just drink jack daniels and shut up about it.</p>
<p>Hahaa, except I think it’s a girl considering she said “the guy i was dating”.</p>
<p>i’m a girl first off. so no, i’m not going to man up.</p>
<p>I’m a mom, so maybe I can give some parental perspective. Give it time. Of course you are feeling lonely. You are in a new place where you have no anchors. But everyone there is in the exact same position, so everyone is feeling pretty much the same-- or they are fooling themselves and others. It will be better each day because you will find like-minded people. Your home friends will always be special to you, and you will re-connect with them when you see them again. For now, take it one day at a time and slowly but surely it will improve. This is probably the hardest it will be, so take comfort in knowing that tomorrow will be better than today and the next day will be better than tomorrow. What you are feeling is totally normal and to be expected. If it really does not get better, stop by your school’s health services and maybe there is someone there you can talk to once or twice. Meantime, get involved with your classes, your dorm mates and try to find some extra-curricular clubs or activities that might be of interest. Hang in there!</p>
<p>I assume you’re in the dorms?</p>
<p>Go make some friends and have fun…95% of people are in the same position as you.</p>
<p>Don’t hook up with the first guy that comforts you…unless it’s me.</p>
<p>Wow, I know I’m probably not the nicest person on this board, but give her a break. We all know that the first few days of college are pretty difficult.</p>
<p>OP, just give it some time. Don’t do anything rash just yet. Wait til classes start, and if you still feel like crap for a for weeks or so, go to the counseling center. It’s what they’re there for.</p>
<p>“Hahaa, except I think it’s a girl considering she said “the guy i was dating”.”</p>
<p>In this day and age it could be a guy.</p>
<p>OP make friends. Everyone is looking for friendship and you will find comfort in new friendships.</p>
<p>i cant make friends i literally cant do anything social right now because all i can think about is how lonely and awkward all of this is and all i want to do is cry. i feel pathetic and emotional and stupid but i can’t help it, i just feel ridiculously alone.</p>
<p>You’re not alone. EVERYONE is in the same boat as you (assuming you’re a freshman, not a transfer). Just relax,go out and be social. Because if you stay cooped up these first few weeks, you might miss the initial surge of openness and interaction. These feelings you harbor will fade once you meet dozens of people with interests like yours. College is exciting - embrace it!</p>
<p>i dont know how to make friends! im in the honors dorms and everyone antisocial and pretentious. no one is even trying to get to know one another</p>
