Please get a mental health evaluation and take the 'doctor's orders' for medication and/or therapy. You are Clinically Depressed and you can 'get better' with help ... otherwise, you won't be a good teacher ... the KIDS and your boyfriend need you to be WELL ... and you DESERVE IT too.
I can totally relate.I'm 24, in debt, and miss the old days of just being carefree. It's sad when people grow up. I guess I just have peterpan syndrome. I'll use my degree one of these days.
seems normal to me. i went through the same thing. i don't really know how i got past it. maybe i didn't get past it quite yet. but i focused on friends, the ones that are most important to me, the ones who will be at my wedding. that is what matters to me most, so when i focus on them, i kinda feel better. well maybe not better, but less worse about my own crappy problems
I'm not sure but I would think it's pretty normal. Life didn't turn out the way you expected and you might not exactly be doing the thing that really lights your fire. Realizing that all those childhood dreams of doing whatever you want when you want as an adult just aren't real can be really depressing.
Now, if you have depressed for this long and you can't see yourself getting out of it, or it is affecting your life (sounds like it might be), you might want to just run it past a doctor to make sure there aren't some other issues.
Totally normal! It's called Kramer's Reality Shock..the "honeymoon" stage of your career is over & the real world is setting in. Just tough it out..you'll be ok. Maybe you should see a counselor to just vent your problems instead of taking it out on your relationship. Good luck
First of all I need to know if you are saved. If you give your life to God you will have better understanding and wisdom of all things. For example, Don't let satan distract you with depression and rob your life of joy. Respectfully, we all have problems however true Christians know how to handle their problems. They let go and let God. There is great confusion about religion but that is satan and his workers jobs. God is not controlling he just offers us a better way of life. It's there for whoever chooses to accept it. Or wallow in confusion, misery, and depression. The choice is ours because God gave us free will. Stop letting life happen to you hun and let your life happen. Praise Jesus.
Yes, I went through that myself. I did a bachelors and masters back to back; graduated at 27 and questioned if I made the right career choice. It didn't help that at the time, I had no money and could barely afford a place to live, not to mention food and other expenses. On top of this, my mom had breast cancer and had also just moved from NJ to PA so she was further away.
So on top of all that, there was all this external pressure on me to find a job and be successful and so on because after all I was the first person in my family to get that far in school. At this point, I was wishing I was a high school dropout since I knew a few that were making very good money at the time and here I was almost homeless.
Anyway, I am not sure if it is ever "normal" to feel depressed but if your "depression" is coming from you questioning things, being concerned about how your life has turned out and where it will go from here and all of that fun stuff then yes, it is perfectly and completely normal. I guess it is just the way you are handling it that could be better. Also keep in mind that if you find that you don't like teaching say after a few years, there are other optoins out there as well as possible opportunities to work with different types of kids, schools, etc. Don't put too much pressure on yourself at this point as you are just getting started. I will be 35 in a month and if you would have asked me when I got done with school if this is how I would see myself at this age, I would have said "no way", but sometimes life doesn't go exactly as we plan it. Good luck with everything.
