Don't worry things will get better. I was in the same boat as you, kinda. I was a top prospect baseball player and I got injured and now I have a metal plate in my head. That and 2 other surgeries that year set me back year and a half. I did get picked up from a school in St. Louis but I had this girlfriend for 2 years and it was too depressing being 5 hours away from my hometown of Chicago. I quit after the first semester, failed out. came back and found out she was cheating while I was away. So I've been working and this Sunday I'm going back to school. Well sorry for that but I was just getting to this. Things will get better, you just need to forget about that jerk. There are plenty of people out there who will treat you the way you should be treated. At first its hard and you think that there is no way out but you need to just try to be happy. Ask your roommates if you could go out with them. Being social is a great way to meet new people and it takes your mind off the bad things in life. As for the age thing I understand as well. I'm 20 now and I'm a Senior in college so most everybody is a year or 2 older. Pick something you want to do in life and just go for it. Do anything you can to get and it will pay off in the end. Cheer up, everything is going to work out.

I'm sorry you're going through so much right now. I've been in a similar position as well and for a long time. But you have to realize things don't have to be the way they are. You have the power to make things different in your life. You can't control what your boyfriend did to you he is responsable for his own actions and will have to deal with the consequences later on in his life. You however have to live your life and focus on your future. You could stay at the community college for a couple of semesters until you feel more comfortable going back to your old school. Also consider going to a therapist sometimes you need to talk to a professional who won't judge you and you'll feel safe knowing its confidential. Read self help books and do everything you can to help yourself get better. Depression is a real medical condition but you gotta fight it because you're worth so much more. Things will start getting a lot better once you do.

Life can be brutal sometimes, and you are definitely having a tough go of things right now. But please hang in there because your situation will turn around, maybe not today or even two months from now, BUT IT WILL! Give it time and effort. Take care of yourself by cultivating healthy habits, i.e., eat healthy, exercise, avoid things that degrade your health. WHAT HAS HELPED ME when I've gone though tough times was volunteering. It helped me because it got my head out of my dark cloud of a life and into making someone else's life a little better. It gave me something positive in my life and it made me feel connected to other people (think other volunteers, too) when I felt so alone and miserable. Habitat for Humanity is a good one, so is Special Olympics. I don't know how to say this is a less direct way, but because you are very needy at this time, avoid volunteering with people who are super emotionally-needy because you may not have a lot to give--right now--but you will when you are your full and complete self.

Start looking your best, go shopping, and then go fishing, you have plenty of bait. One monkey don't stop a show. Finish college bafore you get attached to anyone else. Get involved with campus activities. When you meet someone else, leave your heart in the dresser draw until you feel it's right. For God's sake don't be quick to jump into bed. EDUCATION, EDUCATION, AND MORE EDUCATION. You're not alone, you will see.
