Chiming into this thread to share my troubles, I may need some help here....
So, about a decade ago, I felt that life was good, I was optimistic, not to mention the summers of 2007-2010 for me were by and far the happiest times of my life. I was 11-13 years old then. I am painfully nostalgic about those days as a pre-teen/early teenager, and as much as I know those days won't ever come back, I desparately want to go back to the days when I was the happiest in my life, more than anything. My life now feels miserable by comparison.
Now, I'm 22 y/o, and I'm not sure if i felt worse in my life. I failed all my college classes earlier this spring; forget about graduating college on time. I've been extremely depressed, disillusioned, insecure, and longing for my pre-teen days, back when I was actually enjoying my life and when I wasn't going through the living hell that I am now. I cannot seem to enjoy things like I could 10 years ago. I am extremely depressed, and doubtful that things will ever get better for me. At this point, I'm wanting to give up on life completely, and I don't know what to make of myself right now. At least I have my Game Boy Advance, PS2 and a copy of Gran Turismo 4 for me to relive my better days.
I guess it turns out, 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' by Green Day wasn't just a song that evokes nostalgia in me, it now seems like a prophecy of my current situation and all it's depressing misery. I wish I knew how to make myself feel better, but I don't. I think I need some advice on how to fix this...
