i think everyone does sooner and later in life. When a smart person starts making not so smart assumptions about himself, it can mean an outside unbiased opinion (therapy) could help put things into perspective while avoiding getting depressed (clinically) about it. If you are already into clinical depression mode (not saying) a professional will help rectify it. |

| Yeah dude, you are nowhere near a failure. You just got a job that pays quite well, even if you are in a hole of a town. Things are looking up dude. I was in a similar position for a few months, but now that I have gotten my finances on track, it has really helped me a ton. |

| Try not to think of therapy as failure either. I've been in and out a few times and it's always been a great experience, just having someone to talk to objectively about things going on. For a while it was something I looked forward to, going and talking to my therapist. |

Well, there are upsides to it as well. Generally speaking, though, it can really give you a nagging sense of entitlement -- which many people deny -- but often the way they live their lives (extravagant expenses + always asking parents for money + little work + poor saving habits) lets you know whether they have the entitlement mindset or not. |

I would go to a psychologist rather than a psychiatrist first.
If you go to a psychiatrist, chances are probably 50 / 50 that you will get someone who tosses a sample packet of SSRIs or MAOIs at you after ten to fifteen minutes.

Agreed, but not having that, has also given me the respect for the others that bust their ass for their whole life and have nothing. Where as most of the ones that have that safety net (Dave Dresden) don't give a . |

This is also good advice, I went through a few doctors who just tried to throw pills at me, and I really didn't want to go on any medication. |

| It doesnt sound like you are depressed just unhappy with the situation you are in. I imagine that is just from the change of pace you had before. I seriously doubt you need therapy for something like this. |

while i never meant to imply that rjt was clinically depressed, i would like to know what depression sounds like nach.
could it hurt?
even if you are fine and dandy, the worst that can happen is that you get valuable insight. You also still live at home and are in school. Wait until you experience life a bit to give advice about things that you think yet don't know.;) |
