I graduated college in May 2013 and have been living at home with my mom, dad, and 3 younger sisters ever since. After many horrible jobs I've managed to secure full time employment at a place that I enjoy and pays decently (basically above minimum wage). I'm 25 years old and applying to...

There was a shooting on the UC Santa Barbara campus on Friday Night. Elliot Rodgers, the son of the director (or a "second unit director" as i've been corrected) of the hunger games, is the suspected shooter. He left 7 people dead and 13 others injured before turning the gun on himself. In this...

I have a friend who i've known since high school (about 8 yrs now). I consider her my best friend and feel I can trust her. Over the years we've kept in touch but have led separate lives. I went to college, graduated, and got a well paying job. She's had a hard time. didn't complete college...

I've been thinking a lot about how higher ed has really hindered my social life vs exalting it. I was one of those students who didn't get the message that school wasn't for studying in the library 24/7 but instead it was for wild parties, sex, and socializing. Also being shy, deemed as...

Would it be wrong to have sex for the first time as an adult with just a friend? Not someone you have romantic interest in or are even really attracted to? At this point I feel if I waited for the "right one" or someone who really wanted to be in a relationship with me I'd be a 40 year old...

How many lonely/friendless people actually want friends? As a loner myself, I am naturally drawn to other loners, eccentrics, social outcasts etc. I don't have social anxiety and I am able to strike up conversations for the most part (with people who I feel I may be able to relate to) but when I...

If you are an adult and don't have a job, how are you surviving exactly? Sorry if its a stupid question but i'm curious to know what the living situations of other people are. Are you living with your parents/family/friends? Do they pressure you to get a job and move out or do they just allow...

For the last 5 years since I graduated high school, I've talked on and off with a guy friend I was in class with. He would try to pursue a relationship with me but I had no interest being that I was away in college and we also never talked much in HS. Now that I've moved back home he has been...

So....... when I first posted on here I was a depressed lunatic. Glad to say things have changed drastically. I’ve graduated and decided against grad school, and no longer go out my way to make my critical-never-pleased mother happy which has given me great peace. Immediately after graduation I...

Hello all. I haven't been on this site all summer! But I'm back and hoping to be more active. I'm a great friend and supporter and open to meeting new people to chat with especially if your in the Dallas area (anywhere in tx is cool). Ironically I'm a very outgoing person and love to talk and if...

The longer it takes me to get a job, the longer I have to live at home..the longer I live at home, the more annoyed I get...the more annoyed I get, the more depressed I'm becoming. And now I'm back to how I felt pre-graduation. I'm just feeling really hopeless and stuck in a situation that I...

So, recently I've graduated college and moved back to my home in the town where I attended highschool. Its a very small town and running into ex-classmates is a dreaded norm. Recently, through a facebook message, a former crush of mine contacted me out of the blue. This is someone who admittedly...

I've move around a lot while growing up and people commonly ask me "where are you from?" especially when they hear me speak because I do not have a southern accent (I currently live in TX). My parents and extended family are all from the Northeast, but I was not born in the northeast myself. I...

Ok, so i joined this site just yesterday. Today i received a message from someone seemingly concerned with my well being, stating "Hi, I'm (withheld). I was just reading your post and I just wanna let you know that you're not alone. If you need someone to talk to, i'm here most of the time and...

I kinda shot the gun and wrote my first post before introducing myself but I'm Jayme (23, f, tx). I'm at a very lonely and desperate place in my life. I came across this forum as a result of that desperation. I'm needing to reach out and not feel completely alone in life. Glad to know there is a...

Disclaimer: very long (This is something I wrote on a blog 3 months ago and didn’t feel the need to re-write it. It was written clearly in depression and rage is a very clear glimpse into what I was going through at that moment. I’ll write an update of my current situation at the end): I’ve...
