Tears welled up in my eyes, and my shaking hand opened up the door to my dorm room. Here I was again, alone and sad. I walked over to my bed and grabbed my fuzzy blanket and laid down. My heart was aching of loneliness. All I wanted was a solid friend group, people to go and have dinner with. I thought college would be filled with friends galore, texting me 24/7, but for my sophomore year it wasn’t. In this period of time I faced a darkness I had never encountered, that darkness was depression. There were days I didn’t even want to get dressed or even eat. I was sad all of the time. Sometimes I would get on facebook and see my friends from college having wonderful college experiences and here I was alone in my room not having fun. The reality was real and as the days went on I slipped more and more into a state of depression.
