Just left school and not coping. really need your help :-(?

Question

i just left school a couple of month ago and although ive got a lot going for me, im not happy. i really miss it and there are certain people that i miss even more. i cant believe its over and all i can do is think about it, even though i try really hard not to. most of the people i know are really glad that its over and are not looking back, but i just cant seem to let go. a lot has changed in my life recently and i just feel that i have lost everything. when my other friends that are still there talk about it, i feel as though im missing out and i just get upset. can somebody please give me their take on this? is this expected or am i just being plain stupid? please give me some advice.

Answer 1

hey its cool and normal dont worry bout it to much :) My suggestion would be to plan a trip with a bunch of your freinds and that will help Good luck hang in there

Answer 2

You need to move forward. What are your goals? Even if you could go back it would not be the same. People change. Circumstances change. You can be sure that those people you miss have move on. Why can't you arrange to see them if they are your friends? There is no reason not to contact them.

You need to get therapy if you can't move on.

Answer 3

Really, you miss putting money in teachers' monthly government checks? Well, here's some strong advice: think of all the reasons why it's fun not to be in school. For one, everyday is Saturday and you don't have to deal with annoying teachers, kids, and homework. And if it bothers you that much, go on a vacation with all your closest friends. Just don't be sad that you're not in school, it's not worth it.

Answer 4

"left" as in you dropped out? or "left" as in you graduated from high school?

if you dropped out, that must be very hard for you, but what's done is done. i'm not sure if you can go back when you drop out, because i've never done that before. but .. now is a good time to think about your future and what you should do now. possibly get into a community college? work? catch up with friends? it's alright. you still have time to make things right.

if you finished high school, reconnect with your friends. go out to the movies or mall or give them a simple phone call. things like that can help you feel better about your friendships.

let the past be the past. look forward to the future. good luck

Answer 5

What you are going through is normal considering "a lot" has changed in your life recently.  It sounds like you are longing for what you know, a place you felt you belonged.  I know that college is awesome, and the life style of a college kid is wonderful (usually) but you are entering a new phase in your life and there will be many great things to come for you.  It's okay to let things go and move forward yet remember where we came from and think of it fondly.  Good luck.
