Well I guess I'll begin from the start. I am new here but I don't know what else I could do except resort to sharing my problems with the anonymous world of forums.
So I am currently a second year student studying at a University. I have been quite depressed for a while now. This is due to many things, such as too much stress with work. Previous relationship. House hunting for the third year. Feeling I have no friends.
Now to break it down. So with coursework and exams and such like, I guess I never knew it would of been so difficult for second year being at University so due to a stress overload this got me down and I lost track of work priorities, along with my part time job at the time.
With the previous relationship, well I would say that a lot of my friends say that I am the nicest guy anyone could ever meet. So basically the person I was dating at the time, well basically she was a biatch in the end, she cheated, but before all that, I thought she was different, obviously I was wrong, she used me because of my nice-ness. This got me down even more.
With house hunting, most students have found houses earlier along the year, whereas the group I originally had did not agree with the location of the house for next year, so therefore the group was disbanded. A matter of stressful months later, we (being me and a friend of mine) found a group where we all got along perfectly, and a month later we found a house. FInally a month after that, I finally got it all sorted with the others.
FInally the friends part kind of concludes this. Basically I don't really have that many friends although many people may think different. I'm just a nice guy who gets on with a lot of people. There is a difference. Due to the past matter of months I've felt like this though. That I have lost friends. That I have lost my motivation and enthusiasm to even do my degree. Sigh. I just feel like the world is falling apart on me.
I have considered seeing a counsellor now but I think it's a tad late now. I have even considered ending my life but after further reading I do not think it is the right decision. There are a few other things too but I shall not mention for now.
I hope people have some good advice to share.
Many thanks for reading.

Hi Gary and Welcome :)
Sounds like you have had a bit of a rough ride of it all lately - I can sympathise with the having someone do the dirty on you because you are 'too nice' so if you ever need to vent, please feel free!
Hope you manage to find some good advice - take care x

Hi Gary
You mention the 'nice guy' label a numer of times in your post. I try not to pigeon hole or label people as everyone has a unique and complex character. I don't interpret niceness as a weakness, but as a strength. e.g. I am drawn towards smiley, charming, warm people. If someone abuses your goodwill then do you really want them in your life? Good luck

Well basically sometimes you don't see that side of people. Till a later date. If you know what I mean.
You can get on with numerous amount of people and make new friends but it's sometimes difficult to tell who can be twofaced or a biatch at a later time. Unexpectedly they just change. You see their true colours.
