What a day
Now I've had bad days, bad weeks, bad months and bad years. I try to move on, and learn from them, like all good people should. I believe in karma, its fair isnt it?
Now today, has taken the mick, lets look at what I've realised today
1. I have just left school and six form, ive been there 7years, so many people Ive met and gotten to know, and there are some poeple who if I think about leaving just makes me feel totally sick all these people I will never see again
2. I have no idea what im doing in the future, i have yet to pick a uni and a course, on top of that im **** scared of uni
3. I have just realised, that in the freaking state I am, i have no-one to talk to
4. Why today, does all the music/tv shows that trigger the worst of me come on?
5. Im going to have a 3month holiday, which means ill be sitting at home doing nothing, now i know the usual, get a job blah blah, yes I am going to hand out cv's and such
I once had a summer wher i basically was at home, it was so, so bad. I felt so suicidial and such a loser, i am NOT looking forward to this
6. I feel sick, i feel depressed, i feel like crap, i feel confused all wrapped into one, i dont what to do where to go what to even think.
7. oh god theres someone, who i just freakin started talkin to, and guess what? YUP IM FREAKIN GOIN UNI, nice one, just freaking nice, for frick sake
why am I posting this? I dont kno, i need to vent, so wht the hell,

As a person who was scared about going to uni this time last year, can I just say that, even though it's easy for me to say, uni is not as scary as you may think. It's so easy to make new friends, and I'm sure you'll be able to stay in contact with a lot of your friends from sixth form.
Uni is a lot of hard work, but there are plenty of opportunities to socialise, etc and once you get there you'll soon start to wonder why you started to worry in the first place.

It sounds like pretty typcial worries, things always seem much more worse when you worry about them
- Missing friends from school is totally normal but you will see them in holidays and be able to visit/phone etc.. its not like there disappearing.
- Uni is scary at first, But it gets so much better. Sometimes you have to make the choice that means change in order to achieve so much more.
- 3 month holiday.. Heaven! as you said getting a jobs cool, If your worried about being bored why dont you try taking up a hobby or just getting out of the house. Lots of goodbye celebrations before uni.. Mmm.
Its just one of those days.. Hell I had a bumper one the other day but worrying just makes things worse.

Ok, I write what I am about to write safe in the knowledge that a lot of people will give the nice, sensitive answer. So don't get upset by this - if you want pure comforting then don't read the rest of this.
You need to sort your life out. The first bit of advice you should hear is this - no one owes you anything. No one owes you a job, no one owes you a good time at university and no one owes you your future. If you want these things then start looking at life as something to grab hold of and make the most of - not as something miserable, full of fear and something that will scare you into moaning and complaining.
You're scared of Uni? Sorry, but of all your problems this is the silliest - university is pretty much the first place you'll go to where there is nothing to be scared of. Nobody cares if you're shy or outgoing, into indie or dancehall, a book worm or a party animal. Nobody cares if you wear full length black leather jackets and have a ponytail (well I might care a bit if I see you, but I won't say anything). You can be yourself at University and you will meet people who accept you as you are.
If you want a job, get a job - if you try hard enough it'll happen. You have three months of nothingness - a lot of people would kill for that. You are young, free, I am presuming able-bodied, no family to support, no need to find a full time career - you are FREE. Go somewhere, meet new people, see the world. Go and teach kids English in China, see South America, go and pick grapes in France, join a gym and get fit, join a book club, work for a charity, plan university, etc. If you resign yourself to sitting on your arse all summer then that's what'll happen and you will end up feeling suicidal again.
There are so many people who say they are depressed (and maybe you are one of the few genuine ones) but there are plenty who would rather label themselves as such than actually pull their finger out their ass and DO something.
No one owes you anything, except you. Remember that and act accordingly - make your own future (be that this summer or for three years at Uni.)
PS. If you're deciding on a Uni course, might I recommend English? It's great!

If you resign yourself to sitting on your arse all summer then that's what'll happen and you will end up feeling suicidal again.
Like for example right now,
I'm at home, alone, its quiet, I am going to try and revise but it is very quiet and I just feel so lonely, very lonely. There are all these people who I want to meet and go out with and stuff but the only "excuse" I had was because we where in six form. Without that "excuse" for everyone to be there I know they will forget I exist, I have to try so hard just to get invited to places sometimes that I feel exhausted.
Im so greatfull that I know these people, dont get me wrong, when I walk around school I say hello to nearly everyone in my year. But I dont "know" them, they wont call me or invite me on a night out, or a day out or something. I know they will just forget me, and to have another summer alone, with the occasional "meeting" some people is going to be absolutley devastating, I dont think I could have 3months of that.
And I feel sick, I feel depressed I feel like theres a weight on my head.
I want to throw up, not because I ate some bad food but because I actually feel like crap, Iv felt this bad before, but then the problems answer where normally in front of me.
I have no idea what Im going to do, no freaking idea

Snap!
The key is to keep yourself busy doing something; I'm the same. If I sit down for 5 minutes doing nothing I get bored and depressed. Try and get a job, else do some charity work or something. Anything, so long as it means you're keeping busy.
Yes, a fair amount of stuff does require cash but there are activities that cost little to nothing if you know where to look. Just don't consign yourself to sitting in front of the TV for 3 months because it'll get you nowhere. And think, if you do some interesting activities during the hols it'll be a great talking point when you meet new people at Uni!
As for right now, put the radio on and sing along! That always livens up my revision.

How about you re-read my post then? It's got some outstandingly good ideas!
whoa buddy. You are blowing things out of proportion and you need to calm down. Yes leaving high school is a sad thing to do. But life is all about changes and there'll be plenty more you'll have to face as time goes by. You need a summer job I reckon. Or go travelling with some mates. Just do anything that will get your mind off yourself. Don't leave time for you to think. But take this break as an opportunity to have a 'break'! Because when you're at uni, it'll all start again. So you dunno what to do at uni..take a gap year or do an arts degree, something flexible just to get you in the door if it's that difficult for you. Things will work out, it just feel like it at the moment. And uni...isnt that scary at all!

1. Make an effort to stay in touch.
2. You have to make a decision at some point in your life, everybody else did.
4. Don't watch the TV, I don't.
3,5,6,7. Why don't you arrange to meet your friends from school and talk to them? Uni is still 3 months down the line, just have a good time till then, and you will meet more people there.....
Change is a good thing
Just think of Uni as an opportunity not a problem
As for this holiday - doing is better than thinking. Only you can do it, so you must be the one to police your life. After all that is how you gain your independence and route into adulthood.
If you want to keep in contact with your old schoolfriends grab their MSN/mobile numbers and maybe you can meet up in holidays if you were close. Else it's not worth bothering.
RE the job: Do it sooner than later incase they fill up. You don't have to even work that many nights/days a week so it shouldn't be too bad. May be you can get more friends there too? Part time work is often very straightforward

correct me if im wrong but almost everybody leaving sixth form is in this situation, including me.
They're not all suicidal.
Sounds like you need to make plans on what to do summer - set yourself some tasks or something. For me summer is gonna be working (hopefully) , cricket training and matches galore, bit of the ole gym and teach myself some guitar . I can't wait, I love summer!
If you're all sad about not seeing your mates again organise something with them for the summer go see them go out with them etc. !

I am going to try and revise but it is very quiet and I just feel so lonely, very lonely.
Stick the radio on!
Anyway, don't go out and meet your friends. Revision comes first, because exams are really quite important. I'm just shutting myself up in the house until it's all over (though I am leaving it to do stuff like rowing).
