Should I look into therapy?!
Question: Should I look into therapy!?
I'm a Philosophy/English major just starting my second year of college (though it is my third year in college)!. In the 06-07 school year, I went to a great four-year university out-of-state, met a ton of wonderful people, took some fascinating classes, and generally had a great time!. My grades weren't as good as they could have been, and due to the incredibly steep cost of out-of-state tuition, I moved back home with my parents and enrolled in a community college (my high school transcript wasn't good enough to transfer to any of the local universities)!. I didn't have many friends, and being as antisocial as I am, I have been struggling to make them ever since (the only way I made friends the year before was because of the dorms), especially during the school year, when all my high school friends leave to go to their four-years!. It is almost time for me to begin applying to the schools I want to transfer to, now that I have enough credits!.
I work at a gym, despite the fact that I don't enjoy physical activity in the least!. I worked the front desk for about nine months before I spoke with my boss and managed to get promoted to a low-level management position!. The new position is great and everything I could want out of such a job!. This was about three and a half months ago!.
Despite everything I just said, I have been plagued by severe and chronic depression since I left for school in 2006!. No matter what I do or think or say, I can't give myself any sense of purpose!. I recently took a philosophy course with a rather brilliant professor who (unintentionally) converted me to a very nihilistic way of looking at things--which resulted in a very sharp turn for the worse!. In fact, since day one, its been a constant downward spiral!. I've managed to supress it for a long time, and keep it from affecting my life in any major way, but lately it got so heavy that it began to affect my work!. Now, I work part time at the desk again, and only two days a week in my management position!. I'm starting to get a little scared, too: for the last two weeks, the thought of suicide has entered my mind at least once every single day!. That's what made me start debating therapy!.
I've come to you looking for confirmation that this is indeed a good idea!. I hate to sound like a whiny *****: I know full well that there are people out in the world struggling with far worse problems than mine, but!.!.!. well, yeah!.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I apologize for it being so long!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
