What are you currently majoring in? Something in engineering? I can relate to that feeling.

In that case I have no advice.

So I failed a calculus test yesterday. It’s just one test, and I can retake it too, so it shouldn’t be a big deal. Well I almost immediately sprung into a suicidal mood. I began thinking that I’m going to stay behind in the class and fail everything after this and get depressed about that that I start failing my other classes and kill myself by next semester.

Yep, senior in high school with no idea what the hell I’m doing with my life, where I’m going to college, or what to major in when I get there.

Oh. In that case all I can tell you is so long as you just do the work, you’ll do fine, a single test isn’t the end of the world.

Oh. I’m not a senior in high school, but I feel the same way. No idea what I’m doing and very little motivation to figure it out.

Which means that, and I promise you this is true, failing one test at this point honestly doesn’t matter in the scheme of things.

They won’t come find you in your house, go get 'em! ;D
Agreed but it does happen every so often. Well, to me anyway. 😉
I met them online and just stuck around. You have no idea how much I hate myself that I haven’t been able to find friends or anything without using the internet.
Don’t hate yourself, it’s quite widespread. Over time, you can wean yourself away from using the Internet to make friends. Attending events where you know there will be like minded people with similar interests, from my experience, usually works.

Also be mindful of the fact that Human brains continue to develop way into the mid-twenties. Your body is still awash with hormones and your mind is being put under lots of different and sometimes contradictory pressures. If you feel suicidal thoughts take these feelings seriously and talk to a clinician. It could be some transient chemical reaction which is easily course corrected with a bit of meditation or maybe a pill or two. You owe it to a potential future you not to get caught off guard at this time of your life. It’s an adventure this living thing, don’t worry about first voyage nerves or the need of a safety net during the exposition heavy early episodes 😃

I find similar interests to be overrated. Similar interests are no guarantee that the person isn’t a gigantic pile of garbage.

I’ve already done all that. The doctor recently increased my dosage since I didn’t notice a change.

Great, it might not feel like it yet but you are heading in a direction that will lead to turning a corner. You have taken steps into world which may not be giddy with amusement and endless delight but will eventually only occasionally be sucky. Try to be a patient patient. Human wetware is a bit slow to fix but it’s remarkably resilient. Some further tweaking may be necessary.

I was going to complain about my girlfriend dumping me but reading this section got me thinking that is not really an problem, just another chapter in the book. Shit happens. Some other girl will come.

Happened to me recently too man. It’s tough but it happens. It hurt less than the other woman I just talked about that was my best friend and big sister for 3 years turning on me for some mystery reason that even seems to baffle and anger a lot of mutual friends of ours. Some mental issue, basically has to be.
I have a new girlfriend now though so I’m just trying to forget about both of them.

I really don’t like it when this is used as an excuse to explain shitty people.

Because she was very sweet to me for 3 years for nothing in return except for friendship and helped me through many hard times. A year ago i was in the hospital and she dropped everything to come be with me. That’s not a shitty person. She’s not the same person anymore.
Ergo:
Some mental issue.

It just occurred to me recently that my girlfriend broke up with me a little over a year ago now, which seems crazy to me but just goes to show how much time flies. I was pretty broken up about it for a bit but I did get over it (as everyone does, eventually). Point being, it doesn’t feel like I’ve been single that long just because I guess came to not care.
There’s a lot more to life than romantic relationships, and they’re good when they’re good, but it’s also great to have time with just yourself and don’t have to worry about the rest of it. So I feel you man, it sucks, but see the positive in this, take some time to be single, and when, like you said, another girl comes, another girl comes. Until then, no worries.

Shitty times my friend. But in the big scheme of things is one of the less shitty things that can happen. My ex is now with another guy but I’m partially responsible for what happened. At least we had a good break up and no hard feelings. It wasn’t meant to be and another girl will come.

I guess it was a polite way of saying sh’e crazy haha

I hear ya, sometimes it takes time to realize that you are actually single. I was with her 5 years so I still feel kind of “lost and empty”, I mean that in the less dramatic way but it illustrates the feeling that we all get in situations like this. As you said, time alone is a great thing but if yo are at peace with yourself, at the moment I’m still on shock because she left 3 weeks ago (we lived together) but oddly enough, I feel relative fine. Despite what i feel I know it will eventually fade away.

Nah not politeness it’s the truth. This post is 100% true.

Even though I probably won’t ever be friends with her again, she’s a beautiful angel and I’ll miss her and I’m deeply saddened and have shed more than a few tears over the unhappy and disturbed state of mind that has led her to suddenly feel this way. But, barring her getting serious mental help, I must let her go no matter how much it hurts. She was like the big sister I always wished I had.

I got dumped after uprooting my life to live in Canada, and then uprooted my life again to move back and it felt like the entire world was over. Took a long time to come out of that funk, and I’m really only just now starting to think seriously about something serious as a possibility again.
It takes time, like all things, but it does happen.

Grade for the test retake came in. I got a C. Still not good, but at least I passed this time.
