Aaaaaah!

Aaaaah! Thats how I feel - frustrated at myself. Or rather, frustrated about my constant, irrational changes in mood and attitude towards life.

Basically, the problem is that I either feel REALLY determined to study hard, party hard, make the most of my time...or I feel absolutely despondent and ready to drop it all.

I'm either high or low. No in-between. And these changes a re frequent; several times a week.

I've just started first year at uni - its very challenging, and thats a positive when I feel good...but when I feel down, its as though I'll never cope.

Several times I have been close to dropping out...but I know that when I'm in a good mood, I would regret giving up!

I feel as though I'm two very different people sometimes!

Can anybody help me?? Is anyone like me/has friends like me?

Thank you in advance!

Right here. It's not the workload though, it's just not knowing my place anymore and trying to control something far bigger than myself. An hour ago I was alright.

90% of people at uni will get them highs and lows! and a lot of them have them now! youve bin at uni a bit now, and that 'honeymoon' period is over... dont worry about 'feeling' 'low' - trust me - wont be long till your smiling and on another high:smile:
Don't know if I can help but at the moment I have no idea where I am going in life or what I want to do after Uni.
