Hi Jazzhands805,

My kids are going through something similar.

In HS they had more friends than they could count. At the start of college most of their friends would be home during the holidays. Now? Everyone has scattered. Even on campus everyone isn’t as tight anymore. It can be very isolating.

I say get off the drugs if you can. I would also seek refuge in routines. And make sure you have (or create) something special to look forward to everyday. The list posted above is an excellent start.

There is a Golden Time in your twenties when you start your career, travel, have your own place and/or meet your future spouse.

But you are still a student. You need to concentrate on finishing up school. Don’t worry about relationships. Like, at all! I remember the end of Junior year I felt lackluster, sad and out of sorts. I think it’s common.

Hang in there!

Inky
