lonely
I have never been this lonely. Last year, everything in my life ended. My best friend, and basically only really close friend moved away, my sister left for college, my mom sold her business that she has had since I was 3 and has put a ton into, my step mom who I was close to moved out and now i barely see her. Last year sucked, but even so, I thought that after that there would also be a new beginning, and now that I'm back at school, I realize that isn't true. I have plenty of "friends" but none i'm all that close to. I really love my school (it's a tiny all girls school) but now there are all of these new girls and the whole place just feels different somehow.
What should I do? I feel so depressed that it's hard to focus on homework, but I feel like my life isn't "screwed up" enough to go to the counselor.
help please

I know it's difficult at times to get through what seems an enormous emotional time in your life. It always gets better I promise. I didn't meet my very best friend until I was 18 and had started working. She came into my life and has been the greatest best friend ever since. My daughter, who is now 20 and at University, didn't meet her best friend until last year and she spent years crying over the fact that everyone else had lots of friends and someone special they could confide in. I spent a lot of time reassuring her that she would meet that special 'sister' one day. All you can do for now is enjoy the friendships that you make at school and when the time is right it will happen. Once you accept that life can be a bitch at times, you can refocus your attention on the next couple of years at school and once you have reached the big wide world outside, then life becomes fantastic. Counsellors will talk to anyone about anything regardless of how petty you may think your problem is. If you have a problem that is bugging you, talking is the greatest therapy there is. Lift up your chin, put a smile on your face and look to the future. You will get there, all the best.

I've felt the same way recently and didn't know what to do. I felt that I was strong enough to overcome whatever it was that was making me depressed. The truth is, no matter how not "screwed up" you think your life is, you still feel depressed and thats worth seeing a counselor for.
