Depression Understood Forums

I was looking for a place that may be helpful. I am a student in my last RN semester and am feeling so overwhelmed and down. Why should I feel down and sad when I am so close to finally reaching my goal of graduation? I can't believe I am so down and blue. Any words of wisdom?

I don't know your situation but if you have depression it can make all things that you would normally feel good about feel like no real big deal at all or worse.

Good luck on reaching your goal I hope you can push past your blues and reach them.

hi smmcc. Depression doesn't discriminate. A person can have everything going for them and still feel down. Have you seen a doctor? Did you have anything happen that might have caused you to feel this way? It's natural to be overwhelmed especially in the last semester. Hope you get it figured out.
