OT - Why?

**zap_sea** · November 7th, 2006, 08:27 AM

Why is everything waiting until now when I'm gone at school? One of my dad's coworkers, my little sister's best friend's mother, just died in a car crash last morning. And my dog is seriously ill. My family is considering putting him down because he's too old to survive another surgery. All I can do is sit in my dorm and cry when my roommate's asleep. I hope things can't get any worse.

This is not my year.

Edited to add OT to title.

Abigail, I'm so sorry about the hard things you're going through. I don't know why bad things have to happen to good people. [img]frown.gif[/img] Please take care and I hope you will be okay... [img]graemlins/rose.gif[/img]

I'm really sorry. My thoughts will be with you. Also, if things do feel like they're getting to be too much, most colleges have a free counseling center. Last year, my family went through a tumultuous time--my grandmother died of cancer, my mom went through a severe depression as a result, and my sister had a hideous breakup situation as well as a college crisis. The counseling center here helped me through all that. It's so much easier to bear big burdens when there's someone giving a helping ear. [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I'm so sorry. Thoughts and prayers for things to get better for you.

I agree with Aelindil, maybe talking to somebody will help. ((((Hugs))))

I'm so sorry these things are happening to you. Sending hugs and good thoughts your way.

I'm so sorry! Sometimes it seems like all the hard growing up happens at college. It happened to me, too, I went through a bad break up, got seriously ill, my dog died, my dad got cancer, and on and on. I second the recommendation to see a counselor. I didn't, and I wish, in retrospect, that I had. It would have helped a lot to have someone to talk to, and I might have avoided some later problems (like having a roommate that went totally pyschotic on me).

I am so sorry all of this is happening to you this year. I will put you in my prayers. Do talk to someone you can trust. It does help. Sounds like your roommate isn't one of those. PM me if I can help.
