<p>Did anyone else become really depressed before they moved away for college? What’s up with this?</p>
<p>No. Nobody has. Freak.</p>
<p>That’s mean! Plenty of people feel a bit depressed when undergoing big life transitions. You are moving from your home, leaving your family, and will be away from your friends. It can be unsettling. Once on campus, the excitement of the new will override your sadness at leaving the old.</p>
<p>It’s totally normal. You’ll be better once you get on campus and meet new people.</p>
<p>I didn’t get depressed. I was really excited about the whole college life thing.</p>
<p>OP you’re not alone. I left today and before leaving I felt really depressed. Like really.</p>
<p>I’ve seen some kids get depressed…but then they’re pretty excited when they finally get there!</p>
