I mean, those blogs are fun too, but deep posts make me feel like I was fed something hearty. But for the mind. IDK. I just want to say, as a fellow sufferer of depression, I know what it's like to have that feeling that your lungs are pumping acid... it's horrible and I would never in a million years with it upon anyone. For me, it was also when I was on the brink of entering college. I don't know if it was the huge change or my vast social unpreparedness, but when I got there, I found a whole new piece of myself. I really grew a lot into the person I am now, meeting people, doing new things, smelling different air. I am sure you will find your peace in college too.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03369442856651404844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188240272548637827.post-72493706645651132122015-07-30T14:59:44.405-07:002015-07-30T14:59:44.405-07:00Lyndsey, I love you and I understand exactly what ...Lyndsey, I love you and I understand exactly what you're going through. There's so much to fret and stress about and so much to do. Just rest and relax, it's going to be okay, no matter the fear, no matter everything. Just let go and allow yourself the peace you deserve. My brothers come back at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and Summer, and it's not at all like they've ever left. Nothing changes, not the love and feeling that friendship and family hold close and preserve. College is different, strange, but the distance can't keep you away from your family. Skype and Facetime are God-sent; take advantage of them to watch shows simultaneously with your family, talk with them while you play multiplayer on games from different states, anything. Lynds, you are so amazing, and I'm facing the same fears -although I don't need to be anywhere so far from home. <br /><br />I will ALWAYS be here for you. I'm online; I have Skype, and please don't hesitate to email me. I miss you so much and I really want to hang out with you and be there for you in this final month. I adore you, Lynds, and I'd do anything to help you achieve your potential into that brilliant, talented woman of God that I know you are, even now. Confidence, Lyndsey, you are beautiful, talented, and love surrounds you.Ilsa Eruaistanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14805724389084348724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188240272548637827.post-22204339450858111992015-07-30T01:01:33.739-07:002015-07-30T01:01:33.739-07:00We all have battles to face.

The uncertainties could get really scary. The unknown makes us worry and doubt.<br /><br />Don't worry, girl. You'll get pass it and when you do you'll realize you were worried for nothing really. <br /><br />Try to enjoy college one day at a time. You got this! :)Lux G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00557863683608790087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188240272548637827.post-50314595966804690312015-07-29T20:56:47.486-07:002015-07-29T20:56:47.486-07:00You and me both Lyndsey, have experienced this dar...You and me both Lyndsey, have experienced this dark and deep "depression" as you call it. It's such a horrible feeling to have as you try to maintain everyday as if it were just a normal day. I am realizing from reading this, that I wasn't alone, that someone else, someone so close to me, was feeling the same way as I was. It's sad that now I am just now realizing this about you, and I hate that as your friend I wasn't there for you during those moments. But as your friend, do know that I'm here for you. In or out of state. :)<br /><br />I too am fearful, though I'm not leaving home quite as soon as you are, but all these changes and new doors are really over abundant and are quickly coming over me too fast. I find your writes refreshing, and relatable as I go through these same experiences. I hope we can remain friends, and if anything grow closer over these next years.<br /><br />Love ya Lyndsey! <3Babbling Bibicallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05959469096069742117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188240272548637827.post-70794371370133794992015-07-29T16:24:24.388-07:002015-07-29T16:24:24.388-07:00Hi Lyndsey,
A little bit about myself before I be...Hi Lyndsey,<br /><br />A little bit about myself before I begin this: <br /><br />I'm 19, going into the second year of a three year degree at college.<br /><br />First off, I love the tragic yet all too realistic description of the darkness that has plagued you in the past. Coming from a similar place, I can say that for anyone who is not familiar with these feelings, they should read this to try and grasp it. <br /><br />Like you, I was terrified of college. After essentially my entire school life surrounded by the same people, I was suddenly faced with this reality of having to essentially start from scratch. Being shy and preferring to distance myself from making friends, I truly believed I was doomed from day one. <br /><br />But I can say now, even after one year, it's not as bad as you believe it will be. Sure the first few weeks were difficult. I felt like everyone would go off together and I would be left alone once more. Yet, I soon realised how foolish these thoughts were. The majority of the people in my course were terrified of the exact same thing; that this change would be too much,that they weren't ready. Like most of came to realise ( and every one gets there in their own way), you are ready for this.<br /><br />Reading this blog over the last few years has brought me great happiness and helped when I felt like nobody else was going through the same things. (Yes it has taken me this long to comment on a single post!) <br /><br />You can do this.<br />You will.<br />When the day comes you will look back and be glad of this step which you are taking soon (Or even think, gosh wasn't he so wise. At least I hope so.)<br /><br />I wish you all the best over the coming weeks and months.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065328594956305483noreply@blogger.com
