I'm sorry if this is placed wrong or formatted wrong or whatever. I'm 21 years old, due to be 22 next month. I'm doing poorly in college. I can't bring myself to do my work, and lose hope when I see my grades, which in turn makes me despair, which in turn makes it harder to focus on my work, so now you see the nasty cycle that's developed. I've been seeing a counselor, but I just don't know anymore. I'm losing my zest for life. Granted, I'm in no hurry to die, so suicide is not a concern here. This is a quality of life issue. I've never felt so useless, so lonely, so ugly... I've become this burden to everyone around me and I just don't know what to do.

I think most people go through at least one period in their life when they feel blah and yearn for something. I've yearned a few times myself. Do you have any idea why you started feeling this way? Are you yearning for anything in particular?
Since it is having a negative impact on your schoolwork, keep talking to a professional about it. If you don't think this particular counselor is cutting it, don't be afraid to talk to someone else.

Its hard to get over it, but you just need to find something that'll keep you going.
