I graduated back in November. I’ve been dealing with a lot internally and externally. Honestly my life just feels like a big wtf rn and idk what to do with myself and my life going forward.
I was right in that boat! I felt lost and discouraged, on top of that feeling unmotivated. But take baby steps, be gentle with yourself. I know I said in the video that I then knew I wanted to go back to school. Dont feel like you have to have so big epiphany or something at the end of it all. Just take small steps to get yourself out of the hard moments and work towards finding new things that spark joy in your life. It takes time but you can make it through this!
We dont have many African American mental health professionals so I ty for loving this career
I agree! Thank you lots!!
For me university was such an amazing experience, and I think I really enjoyed it all the more because I spent most of high school depressed and dealing with an undiagnosed anxiety disorder. I really got a hold of things and my OCD went into remission just before starting university, I know this sounds cringey but so many things fell beautifully together during those five years. Honestly the campus became my home there was something about its environment that made me feel so comfortable and happy. I reconnected with a close childhood friend after accidentally running into her on campus, and made two other close friends. I worked on campus with all three of them it's just ridiculous how amazing those years were...and now I don't speak to one of them (she's going through her own stuff and has become distant so I'm giving her space) and the pandemic has exacerbated everything. For me it's not about being directionless, my main problem is that I'm really sad because I feel like i've lost a place I considered my second home and the way my life was I just miss it so much. I've always had difficulty letting go of certain times in my life/transitioning and I know the amount of nostalgia and sadness I'm feeling isn't healthy. I just don't see how i'll ever be that happy again, i'll never see (most) of my friends and classmates again I really do miss them, I feel so pathetic but I even miss the cozy and communal feeling campus gave me. Idk even if I thrive in the real world i'm just going to go to work come home rinse and repeat and i'm not sure how i'll find friends that seems like it'll be much more difficult...sorry for the huge wall of text any advice on how to be genuinely hopeful for happiness in the future would be appreciated.
Firstly, I just want to say thank you for being so open and trusting me with your feelings, I know I'm a stranger on the internet but to be vulnerable like this is very courageous. I want to be gentle and respectful with everything I say and I hope nothing I say gets misinterpreted. I will say I relate to you, especially with how everything from college life just drops and you enter the wash rinse repeat cycle of life, and honestly, I've struggled with the idea of that repeating cycle a lot (in short I HATE IT, that does not feel like living/ the meaning of life to me). But I will say when I was struggling to find my first 'real job' while going through postgrad depression, it was so hard, but it was a period of change. I started a new chapter and found new beautiful parts of life to love and enjoy. I look back on my college years and am able to say I finally enjoyed a part of my life and I will cherish those memories forever, but now I've come to terms with starting new journeys and building new memories, making new friends. It's probably really hard trying to make friends in a pandemic but once this has subsided/lessened, try to find free events where you can meet young and fun people! Join biking clubs or book clubs, or things that fit your current interests, surprisingly they're out there! I know even bumble has like a meeting friends side to their app now which blows my mind lol. I truly recommend therapy too, because whenever i had these big changes in life i was able to release those feelings and get professional advice for navigating through life and processing these major changes cause its a pretty big deal! I don't want to make this too long but I hope this helps!
@@TheDanielleDenise Thank you so much for your well thought out and kind response! Reading back what I wrote I realize that it was totally unfair to unpack everything onto the youtube comments section smh. I was feeling very nostalgic and missing campus when I wrote this. Sorry if I put a lot of pressure on you I know I asked a loaded question at the end there "how to be hopeful for happiness in the future" and therapy is something i'm seriously considering once restrictions are lifted where I live. I know I have a lot to be grateful for and maybe I need to work on gratitude, it's just I feel like i'm living a completely different life now and things were much better during my undergrad. I'll definitely take what you said into consideration, thanks again for taking the time to respond!
I feel like I wrote this comment... everything you said is just how I feel. This place was my home, and I loved it here. It hurts to let go so much it’s unbearable
The real world is just so dull and I hate that I can’t go back :/
"Graduated" with my master's in game design (we went remote like 40% through the program) and job application has been getting me down, especially with the rejections. Thank you for making this video!
The job application process after was really the kicker! I mean really did a number on me. I know it may not seem like it, but things will improve, a great job offer will come through! Don't settle either!
Honestly ! Thank you for talking about this . I was specifically looking for videos on this because I knew I was not the only person feeling this! It’s not easy being told that your life will “ thrive” after you finish school .. your whole life surrounded by this after school dream? (for lack of better words) and then feel lost the moment that new life starts. I can go on and on about this but I digress lol thank you ! 🖤
Thank you so much for sharing your perspective. I think it's important for us to have these open conversations because as you said, students are basically driven towards a dream and it's most likely not going to be there once they finish school. On top of that everything else is changing and that can make you feel like a rug has been pulled from underneath you. Again, thank you so much for sharing! 💛
Just graduated in June with a degree in psychology. Although I’m relieved to graduate I still feel like I’ve failed because I didn’t choose a degree in economics or engineering and the pressure of job hunting while in a pandemic has been dry but I’ve caught a few leads so far and will try to stay motivated. I think after graduation there should be an extra semester that’s optional that focuses exclusively on helping students find a job. Yeah colleges have job fairs but those are usually on specific days and what if you can’t make it. Anyway, congratulations to all graduates out there that stuck it through. I watched many friends drop out and give up for various reasons. You are a soldier for graduating!
I have 2 days of high school left , feelin tad low bout it🥺 but thanks for the great tips!
Transitioning through different stages of life can be really tough but I'm glad you found my tips helpful. It may be har din the beginning but take it one day at a time, and be kind to yourself. When you have those hard days just take a moment to feel that, let those feelings out and then try to push through. It can and will get better as long as you remember that.
Can high school seniors have post grad depression.... I graduated with honors, 4.6 gpa, got into the school of my dreams. Made my parents so fucking proud..... all that taken away by a stupid virus.... goodbye prom, grad night, senior events, stuff I watched upperclassmen did and waited for my turn to come, for 2020 to come. 3 weeks before I graduated my father got into an accident, he was in a coma and didn’t wake up until July. He missed my graduation, my grandparents’ health got worse, my mom was too depressed to notice me.... I’m still depressed. Now it’s been 2 weeks into my college career.... i know... I don’t have the added pressure of finding a job or moving out or doing “REAL WORLD THINGS” cuz as many older adults puts it, I am “barely legal” and “a teenager” but... idk I still feel like I need to grow up real fast. Especially with my dad’s current condition and my grandparents’. I really want to do everything right and not screw up already after just turning 18. I hope the next four years is as great as everyone glorifies it to be......
It is very much so possible. Whenever we are transitioning between stages in life we have to give ourselves time to adjust to a new way of life. These are totally unforeseen circumstances and the normal that we had been so accustomed to knowing has been snatched from beneath us against our will. But you must be gentle with yourself , you have the chance to take a stand and do whatever it is in this lifetime that will make you happy and bring you joy. These are major changes, not many people talk about the changes from high school form adulthood and it is truly a lot to manage and maneuver. Take your time, take it day by day, and step by step. You dont have to prove yourself, your value or your worth to anyone, the only opinion of you that matters is YOUR OWN. College is literally high school but on steroids, drama but with bills, and having a feeling that if you dont know what you're going to do with your life things are over BUT THATS NOT TRUE. That's just the narrative forced on young people that adds unnecessary pressure. Take your time, use this time to find yourself, find what you like, and i highly recommend giving therapy a try through this journey. You don't have to go through this alone. I truly wish you the best.
im graduating soon and im not ready AAAAAA
same
You explained this flawlessly! Thank you for speaking on such a less talked about topic!
Thank you so much 🤍🤍
I just graduated a week ago and I already have this dark cloud over me and I don’t know what to do...
i just graduated n i feel so empty rn :/ idk wat to do , idk wat to feel
It is truly a very tough space to be in, I would seek therapy for guidance and even simply sorting through these emotions. School consumes your entire life for so many years so when you lose it it almost feels like you've lost everything, but you haven't theres more out there for you to find!
it's been two years and i didn't know i suffered from post grad depression until a couple months ago...
Just found your TH-cam, I think it is so great what your doing. Thank you so much for speaking on such raw topics like this one. Feels so good to not be alone ❤️
Thank you so much! I'm happy you were able to find commonalities within this video and so glad you don't feel alone! 🤍
Thank you so much, I just graduated yesterday. It’s sadly hit me pretty hard cause I regret I didn’t do specific things in high school I should’ve done. I appreciate all the support, and advice from you. 🥰
I really appreciate you making this video. 🥺 especially in a time like this, I’m feeling really down lately
Thanks so much for this, super relatable & helpful :)
