<p>This message was posted yesterday in the transfer forum. I tried to post in a helpful manner, but always feel inadequate in these situations. Anyone suggestions, thoughts? These forums are so helpful but when we see a possible cry for help, they seem so limiting and inadequate.
I don’t think it’s really freshman blues, or not being comfortable, or being homesick. The place I picked… well, let’s say I knew it was wrong when I picked it, but the price was right, and I thought I could get over whatever slight bumps there were resulting from the subtle discrepancies between my ideal school and my current school. But the thing was, I got here, totally ready to make the best of it, and it hasn’t worked. I can’t make it work, I’m not sure I’ll be able to in the future, but I think I should give it more time because that’s what everyone else says, and there are plenty of stories about people who were miserable for the first month or two and ended up loving it completely. But I’m not sure that’s the sort of thing I’m capable of- I’m really depressed here, I even tried suicide, and I think if I stay here and don’t get really happy really soon, I’ll start failing my classes or doing drugs or something. But, I mean, I’m sort of stuck here till the end of the semester at least, unless something really bad happens, so I really am trying to make the most of it. Hopefully things will work out, and if not, well, lots of people transfer and are so completely glad they did.
It is post #6 on this thread.</p>
