How to Deal With College Depression

Is being at college depressing you?

Do you wonder whether you're really doing the right thing being at university?

Going to college is a huge step in anyone's life. We can all act cool, and like it's no big deal, and if you are totally relaxed about it, that's great. But for some people that act is just that. An act.

Underneath is a dark pool of dread that seems to suck you down, making everything fifty times more difficult than it should be. Not that you let on. Your act is probably pretty convincing to the rest of the world. Only you know the truth.

How could someone like me get depressed at college?

Statistically, students at university quite often get depressed, but this doesn't make any particular student feel any the less surprised when it happens to them.

It's always a shock, and hard to explain to yourself. "Here I am, at college, in what are supposed to be the best years of my life. Everybody else seems to be getting on just fine. How come I feel so terrible about it all?"

Questions like that can make you feel pretty guilty and inadequate, and feelings like that make it hard to engage with your college life with any enthusiasm. Gloomy thoughts go round and round in your head, and your sleep gets ruined. Everything looks black, black, black.

What can you do?

Two ways to help yourself feel much better about college life

If you think you're experiencing depression, most colleges have a student counseling service, as well as a student health center, and you may find it valuable to talk to someone about how you've been feeling. Doing this can itself bring huge relief.

And then you can take steps to help yourself as well, by learning how to relax and let go of stress, so that you can think more clearly about your situation and how to turn it round.

Now that might sound like a very tall order, so here's some very practical help you can use straight away.
