I am having the worst year of my life
EVERYTHING is going wrong, and although I feel livable now, for the past few days I've been off the scale depressed.
For those of you who don't know me, let's recap the misery:
I got hospitalised on new year's with a migraine that lasted 5 days. It took me 2 weeks to readjust back to living normally.
I got my first bout of depression for 5 weeks after the first semester exams. It was horrid.
I then quit university in May because things weren't working out, and I wasn't doing the work. I signed on, optimistic that my A-Levels and other qualis would quickly land me a job. 6 months later I'm still signing on and being rejected for jobs that people with GCSEs are getting.
I split with my long-distance gf who then had the ironic sense to move from the us to london, by when it was too late; I didn't feel the same about her.
I got another bout of depression. It's coming and going because I now have ABBA to listen to, but when it comes it's pretty rough.
On Wednesday night I was walking down here when the heavens opened on me. Having walked halfway down there was no choice but to complete the journey for 15 MINS, getting me absolutely soaked. When I come in here people start laughing and sniggering, for no reason fathomable whatsoever.
I decided to walk over to chess club once the rain had stopped, to prepare for that night's match. THEN when I've been sitting in there all wet for an hour one of the guys comes in and tells me it's been cancelled.
I wanted to get all of this off my chest, because sometimes at the moment I feel as though there is no hope, and that all the bad luck of the cosmos is being directed squarely at my nog.

That's been my life, in a nutshell, for eighteen-odd years (excepting grades, which are meaningless).
Still, having lately met a certain someone who is rather amenable to me [gross understatement], perhaps things will begin to look up; who knows?
I have lost my grandad and my uncle this year, I am unemployed, missed out on a 1st by 1.5% and have no money for new music.
However you need to try and see that is light at the end of the tunnel, for example with me there is no jobs in the area I want to go into so the solution is to start my own business.
In your case the fact you quite university might put employers off, and there is the fact that they can pay 16 year olds much less.
Just try not to let things get you down, it is very hard, I find myself lacking motivation and spending all day on internet forums these days but I am doing a part time course and have a meeting with a business advisor in two weeks time.
So there is always a way out of things. I think you might need to look at another area of employment.

It never rains but it pours (if you'll excuse the irony). Sorry to hear all you've been through, but i'm sure things will start working out for you soon. People seem to have good and bad years. I remember 1999 being a load of crap for me, but since then it's been better. Hope you feel better soon dude.

To be fair, this thread is for me. It doesn't exactly make me feel good about myself to hear someone say that what I've been going through relative to him is nothing.

For me 1997 and 2005 have been the worst years of my life. 2003 and 2004 were perhaps the best years of my life.

why be so ignorant?if every one was to start a new thread for each of our problems there wont be room for many people.
Ignorant? I'm simply expressing my feelings, which is what people do. I was saying that it wasn't really the best thing for someone to post all of their troubles because this isn't a kind of I'm having a worse time than you contest, and that it made me feel as though I was blowing things out of proportion.

Doesn't it? Oh; how sincerely ironic.
Actually, in retrospect, what I set out to say was something more to the effect that my degree is stimulating; my social life, illustrious: that I have recently fallen in with the most phenomenally like-minded group of individuals I'd ever deem myself liable to encounter outside grammar school (notwithstanding one girl, who warrants particular mention); and that life as we know it, whilst far from being the apotheosis of my aspirations, has lately undertaken a marked transition in my favour. There; is that better?
If it can happen for me, given consideration as to my prior circumstances and disposition, it may yet happen for you.

Awww 
Please try and remember there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You have the power to make things better, have you thought about doing a degree through the Open University? This would allow you to continue studying and achieve a degree but under much less pressure than at university which may suit you better.

It's good you can talk to us (a problem shared is a problem halved) but it would be a zillion times better to talk to someone you actually know about how you feel. Well it's up to you, we all have our own ways of dealing with things, I'd throw myself into some kind of activity~surround myself with happy people.
On the work front- you're probably being considered over-qualified, maybe put down "3 A Levels" instead of specifying your good grades etc.
The world isn't such a nasty place, there are some damn decent, lovely people in it who care about you. I don't know you and I care and things will get better
