Depression and crying?

Question:

6 weeks ago I graduated high school. I want to study medicine. Therefore, I had this test and interview that will get me into this pre-med programme. And I really got in. The thing is I wanna study Med somewhere else, other than my country. But there are things that are holding me back. My parents said that in 3 years I would be able to continue my study where I want. But Since 6 weeks I cried every night and I feel so sad and I wish if I just die and relax from this hell. I wanna study Med but not here. I am afraid that it might affect my performance at school. My question is why I am so sad and crying all the time. I feel helpless and depressed all the time. I used to be very ambitious and special. I always wanted to be unique but now I'm just miserable and sad.

Answers:
You still are unique and special! You're going through a lot of changes, and it's not happening the way you want them to. It's okay to be crying and depressed right now. Now, if it lasts or you have absolutely no motivation when you get to school, you have a problem. Let yourself feel it for a while, though. And remember that school anywhere is still school and still moving forward with your life.

I know what parents are like. My father doesn't want me to follow the profession that I chose.

You do what you want to do and I'm sure that they will understand if you tell them how you feel.

If my dad told me I couldn't do what I wanted to do with my life and I listened to him...I'd be miserable too. And I would be in the same shape you are.

Your sad because you not doing what you want to do with your life. it's normal.

I imagine your parents want you to be around for a few years because they care about you and may worry about you being in another country at a young age. What a wonderful feeling to have people worry about you and care about your wellbeing! Have you talked to them about your feelings? This is a scarry time/transition in your life, as many things are changing and you are becoming independant. If you can't talk to your parents, I woulod recommend talking to an adult. This way you can sort out your thoughts and get some advice about your feelings of depression.
Remember to take each day one at a time. Depending on where you are with your faith, I also recommend praying. It's a quiet get away to talk with God, but also recognize what you want and where you are, just like meditating!! Good Luck with whatever you decide!

Wow, i have exactly the same sensation, but in a different context...

I cant understand very well your problem with college stuff, but i think you are too strict with yourself (or maybe your parents are). You dont have to be afraid of making mistakes in your life, 'cause that fear makes you sad and so whatever happens to you, know that you dont have to be perfect at all and we all have bad times sometimes.

awww...

you're stressed about not going to the school of your choice. stand up to your folks and tell them that. you are special cuz God said so. screw them all. it's your life.
