Short periods of helplessness and depres

2018-03-10 20:04:39
I am an undergraduate student . Throughout school I was quite good in studies. However ever since joining college my grades have dropped. The field of study which I have chosen has a very limited number of places for doing masters in. I am preparing for them but I have lost motivation to study and pursue this goal. I don't know what I want anymore. Further ever since my friends have gotten into relationships there is this thought at the back of my head about why I am not like them?

I thinku are suffering from low self esteem and low self confidence.Due to worry about the future career and loss of ur friends, creats a vaccum in ur mind.U cant share ur thoughts with any one,ur friends are also not in ur contact -all this factors are responsible for ur current situation. Evaluate ur self,try to find some job oriented course or online job oriented or career oriented sites . Share ur thoughts with parents.If u have any hobby like writing, painting, acting, singing etc then encourage that.
Next Steps
if u need external help then Consult psychologist online or offline.

If situation is going from bad to worse, I suggest to get evaluated for possible depression by a psychiatrist. Best wishes.
