Even though I have some woes, I feel like I should still be able to be sociable. I want someone to talk to so bad. I want to go out to parties like the rest of my peers. Anybody have a stressful life but still manages to be social?



Well, yes, but I don’t see this as your problem. Can you be more specific about your interactions with your peers in your classes? Is it that you can connect w/ people in classes–like those assigned to be in your lab group–but just never are able to work up the nerve to ask them to hang out? Or does it seem like people you come into contact with at school want absolutely nothing to do with you? Do you eat lunch by yourself?

I really feel for you. Just tell yourself it’ll get better in college.

And if you really need to drink not to feel depressed I think it’s a long, slippery slope that you really don’t want to be on. This is not normal. Perhaps consider some psychological help–talk to a trusted teacher, your school’s counselor, or ask your parents if you can see a shrink. Don’t feel bad about it–it’s normal to need some help as we go through rough patches in our lives. Good luck and don’t lose hope!
