Does Post Graduation Depression Exist?

We all anticipate that day. Most of us do, the day we go to University and the day we graduate, and we hear all these speeches about entering the world, and being ready and grasping opportunities and working. Yet you manage to graduate, get so excited, sleep for a month, travel for weeks possibly. Yet you stop and ponder, what am I going to do for the rest of my life? yes , major panic attack mode.

Not all of us are blessed with the ability to know and decide what to do with ourselves, future plan’s aside, many of us can not even  make up our mind on the day , some of us cannot decide where to go eat nonetheless what shoes to buy. Well I know I am one of those people who can get very indecisive sometimes.

Many of us have it all planned out or our parents manage to organize everything and help us out. However, some of us choose to be stubbornly independent and decide we want to do it all and manage our selves not realizing that when we leave university we are actually graduating into well, nowhere, panic attack mode again…

I made a plan during my course in university I thought I had it all sorted out and guess what I graduated and it did not go as planned….then everything started falling apart because I am a person who loves to be in control and know what is happening with everything ( can get very OCD as well so imagine)  Seems like everything back fired, and I spent months deciding what I wanted to do with my life and blaming myself for feeling incompetent for so long.

Yet things seemed to happen in mysterious ways, everything did make sense now and it all fell into place. Everything happened for a reason, I was not meant to get accepted for my Masters program, I was young and not ready yet I was meant to rest for months and figure  what I really wanted , where my happiness was…and now I am happy, content and calm with the situation.

Moral of the story? Ladies and Gentleman, when you do graduate into nowhere; take a deep breath, relax, take your time and never blame yourself or feel bad for anything that you do not get, there are just other plans for you.

Note to readers : I honestly envy people who do not care and manage to be calm, content and happy all the time, guys and girls these are the kind of people you need to surround yourself with!
