I feel that I am not going to be accepted until I am perfect. I am considering starving myself until I get a good body. I would rather pass out than eat.....Im a guy too.....

I really want to go to this school, but money is gonna be an issue since I'm an out-stater ;________;

I wake up every morning,look into the mirror and get disgusted with what I see. Is life worth living? I feel like a failure in life and I'm scared I might wake up one day and take my own life.

I almost hung myself today
but I realized that what I really want to do is run away.
I need a different life

I get irritated easily and what has been irritating me a lot lately is the number of people with bad tattoos. Unless your Chinese, stop with the mandarin symbols, it's trite. Stop tattooing paragraphs on your body, no one is going to stop and read it. That dinky symbol that fills up 1/10 of the space it fills looks stupid. Go big or go home. Nice tribal tattoo, never seen that before. Lastly, STOP TATTOOING YOUR NAME ON YOURSELF. What do your regularly forget it or something? I am sorry to the 80% of people with tattoos who I just offended, now go get it removed.

Even with so many friends, I feel so alone. No girl has ever told me she has loved me, or has even reciprocated any sort of feelings that make me feel validated enough to even like myself. I know that sounds silly but it really gets to you. It makes me feel so empty. I know I have a lot of things going for me and I'm surrounded by great people but it's essentially a black hole in my soul that is just slowly eating away at me.

I have had depression. And yes I think that the poster who told people to "just kill themselves" is being distasteful and insensitive. However, I also have faced extreme difficulties in life. I lost both of my parents at a young age and I spent a long time living in a third world country. I know what suffering is.

After going to this school, I also have realized a few things. The quality of life here is really good. Everyone has access to support and resources, transportation, and education. This school is ranked rather highly. People who are depressed: you have power! You can obtain a strong mindset and plow through the difficulties that are most likely beyond your control to change. Often the most successful people have faced the most devastating battles.

Many things are beyond our control to change, such as family, the outcome of romance, and the background we were born into. That doesn't mean that you are worthless or can't make your life what YOU want it to become. Willpower is everything and personal happiness, I believe, is largely determined by the choices that we make now to impact our future. If your life sucks get off the computer! Go run, finish your reading assignments, think and brainstorm new ideas. In college there are infinite possibilities open to the person who is determined to take advantage of them.

Come to me, all girls who wish to be eaten out!
