does anyone else feel like this?

I seem to be the only one out of all my friends who feels like this so does anyone else? I feel so depressed, everyone around me seems to know where they’re going in life but I have no clue and even when I do have a clue I don’t know how to get there. Also, I used to have such high confidence but ever since moving schools it’s been really low and I can’t deal with it anymore and whenever I start to feel really happy something happens to make me feel down :( does anyone else feel like this or is it just me and what could I do to stop feeling like this?

You’re only 13. All these people who know where their lives are going (believe me it isnt all of them, a lot feel like you do) will have changed majors probably more than once by the time they hit college (statistically speaking, most people change their majors at least once), and if they arent going to college, will change their jobs a couple of times right after graduation. So, honestly, they may think they know what they’re going to do, but no one truly knows what is going to happen. Dont feel pressured to come up with a life plan that is going to change about 100 times before you turn 21… Focus on the next couple of years… What you want to do in high school… That is a whole lot more manageable, and less anxiety provoking.

Now, the depression part I cannot help you fix online unfortunately, you need to talk to a counselor. See if there are therapy groups in your school you can join. It is very helpful to see that there are others who are going through the same thing as you, and learn how they cope. Also, consider joining clubs. It really is a quick way to meet a bunch of people. New schools take some adjustment, and it is never easy being the new kid…

It’s natural to feel a little confused about where your going in life. Now since you moved schools, I’m sure you are finding it much harder to deal with. All the people around you who seem to have it together, well they just don’t. Everyone is anxious about where they are going in life because the future is never certain. If you are feeling depressed, make an appointment with a doctor or go talk to the school counselor. These records are kept private so don’t worry about your friends finding out. (Even though there is no shame in seeking advice).

Try to make more friends at this new school. Also find a past time that you love to do. Pour your heart into it and make it something you can truly be proud of. If you need any more help, feel free to fun mail me! Sam
