Cannot believe I'm going to say this....join the military. Not sure how one start off doing that but Mattrym seems right...in the head. If your seeking a mental and physical challenge. Its a quick transition to. Just you have to be able to be flexible.

Edit
I'm leaning with Kronk on this to. Your like...putting off a vibe

I think there been too much stress and depression and just stuff built up over the years, i never really had a choice in the direction of my life. It was decided for me.

I think the best i can do is go someplace far away, and start again, from scratch decide what i do for myself for a change. Start building my own life instead of following the path set out by others.

Maybe quit university, get a job a good one to get fast cash, build it up dont spend much and get the hell outta the city. Hows america? lol


Jihadin: not sure im ready for that, atleast not yet.

How long until you graduate University, man?

long time lol nearly 2 and a half years. And i cant stand it as it is.

Problem is, if you have been seen by a psychiatrist or psychologist and/or have had meds for depression or other issues to include ADD type issues, it is not easy to get in the military. At a minimum you need to have been off all meds for 1 year and then will still need a waiver.

(for US military anyway...)

Jake

2 and half...okay....can you like take a breather? like skip a semester? Or are you in like a "Do or else" situation?

I want to join the Military, i'm sure a Film, Radio and Television studies degree is just perfect for that.....

i honestly dont know err i think you can make it through the first year with a pass and im not sure about attendance.

2 more years stuck in this city, i need to make some real money, so i can get out. I may not know much about life or living on my own but how would i learn if i dont try.

We all have to take our lives into our own hands at somepoint.

True, CptJake. But at the very least, seeing a school counselor (at the very least) or other professional would be a good idea. The immediate mental health concern is more important than a job he may or may not want or might not be suited for.

You sound like you're in a serious rut, AE. Before you go out making life altering decisions, I really think you should talk to someone.

How often do you go out or hang out with friends?

Im still 15, and i've had a lot of things happen thats turned me pretty melancholic at moments. When depression hits, I usually sit on the ground or on the flight of stares and think...about certain things. For some reason, I keep on thinking what my persona would do ._.

Also, have you had a recent breakup or other falling out?

lol thought you said serious nut, i was like ehh? lol

Looking to sombody with my issues, i dont know. I mean my parents dont understand stuff like that and it would put stress on them if i suddenly started seeing a doc lol

and my friends went off to different universities, half of them then proceeded to stab me in the back afterwards.

And i have not made any friends at university because they all have there groups sorted, and i have to get the early bus back home so i dont have any time. Everyone generally goes to a lecture for an hour then goes back to
the houses. Doesnt leave alot of time to meet people.


StasisNid95 : your avi's crona

Kronk: nope other than a person i knew from college going insane insult mode on me and tearing me apart on facebook, then having his friend talk to me about my issues just so i can find out my other so called friend is sitting in that guys house. Trust has been alittle issue since yesterday lol

That's a problem. Living to others' expectations of you is a quick way to wind up hanging from the rafters. Do yourself a favor and push back, at least a little.

I bailed on college, due to a stress related breakdown where I did some rather... unhealthy things to myself. A couple years of working gak jobs later, I got lucky and landed a really good paying job because a guy I knew while I was at one of the gakky job got me a foot in the door. Now I'm trapped here because I won't be able to get a comparable job at a different company in the area, largely because I don't have a college degree.

Bailing altogether is a little extreme. Just push a little harder on your 'prison walls' and see how much more comfortable you can make life. You're young enough to still have time. Switch majors, get your own place, do smaller things. Don't jump ship and come here. At least, not until you have a degree and a job lined up. Life will be much easier on you that way.

Combat Media.
Just do not fer gawdsake start filming away at a M1/Bradly/Stryker/MRAP/MATVorwhateverelsehaveyou thats being engaged. From a distance it looks like someone aiming a RPG/similiar at us. Hence why some reporters get killed

How old are you Atomic?

Do you still live with your parents? If so move out, it will do wonders for you social life and self esteem.

Corpse...there's a money issue

true, i feel guilty all the time when im around my parents because A: im the first into university in my family so id be letting them down
B: because i shouldnt be depressed, cause it will only cause strain on the family.

Why cant i just win the lottery lol

He's 20, I think he posted.

Old enough for the military, but as I don't know AE from Adam, I'm not fit to advize any life-altering changes. (Military, changing University, changing field of study, etc.)

What are you studying and is there something you'd rather be studying?

I know

Hes possibly the only character in any form of media that describes me best, or that I could relate to, sometimes I really dont know how to deal with certain things o_o


argh ignore the blank comment, something messed up

Jihadin wrote:Corpse...there's a money issue

There is for all university students yet the majority don't live at home, in many ways it's better to be stretched money-wise at uni as it teaches you some valuable lessons on living cheap.

First into college...aahhhh kk so your breaking a trail into unknown territory for your family. SO its like family pressure? Skipping the "cliques" that you have at your university which IMHO is a .......well....give me a 8 digit grid for a reality check

There's something to be said for hanging out with a classmate and taking the late bus home now and again.

StasisNid95 : totally know what you mean, Cronas alittle too close for comfort lol

Money isnt an issue but it is for what i want to do.
and i study animation which i have no clue about.
Ive been in education my whole life and its never been plessent or good for me. School was bad, second school was hell on earth, college was ok, uni is well, im just getting tired of it, all this work yet nobody would even notice if i just left and all my work is always fo are no reward, no sense of achievment, nothing.

I consider myself more an artist, ive drawn and done art since before i could walk, its somthine everyone always comments on and i used to win contests back in school. Its what im really into but unfortunettly painting doesnt usually bring in enough money to get set up.

What are you interested in studying?

Animation and special effects.

Sounds like a burn out

a what?

Your burnt out with education

The real problem is you are told to have a plan, live it, love it and everything will fall magictastically into place. Look at what television, newspapers, ads and almost everything is telling you. And that is if you connect the dots and check things off on your list, everything magically falls into place. If you read all of the junk written into tabloids and advertisements from the perspective of A.) greedy people knowing you are unwell, but can give you a lie and a false hope all so they can get money, or B.) the writer of the article is a nobody going through the same thing you are, but they are writing for themselves so they can convince themselves, then you realize youre not in it alone.

There is no life-plan or solution to happy success, each person finds it on their own, in their time however is best for their own selves. And remember:
