Depression.....

Not that myself personally am depressed about the whole current situation (right now)....but it seems like with all of the people i know that are in this predicament, i just thought it would be good for me to open up this thread so everyone could talk openly of how they're dealing with their everyday lives as they wait for that *dream* to come true someday, because it seems like a good way for everyone to get some stress off of their shoulders.....

As for myself, i let school use up most of my days in order to pass time....it works most of the time.....lol

To be honest I don't feel that much depressed, but desperate nearly all the time and anger at times. Even though most of the time I'm busy with the architecture studio I can't help to think about the DA and how difficult it has been and the damages this injustice has done in my life. Sometimes each day seems like an eternity of waiting and when I hear or read about the DA "might" be reintroduced for discussion in Congress sort of makes me upset because something could have been done by now. Also just thinking that if they pass it, most likely it will take effect after like half a year taking care of all the preparations so that people start applying. I just wish it would not take long. I feel like I can't wait any longer, but right now I have no choice, I have to get my Bachelors in architecture first.

But I think I'm channeling all that energy in a positive way since I'm quite good in my studio class. Making new and good friends as I move up in live, but without the things that are considered a "given" you know the usual, a job (the right way) driver's license, etc.

Also not being able to travel has caused me many heartaches and pains in many ways. This situation just isn't right, and when I talk to my friends, citizens or not, they agree that dreamers should get those benefits and help out more using our talents in this great country. So I guess it's true, we have a minority that hates us in the US, but they are just too loud that they usually end up heard pff.

God Bless America and Everyone in It.

Well, I wish I had school now because I get the angriest, saddest during the summer. Living in a small town with nothing to do is slow death...until next month that is when everything will be alright again.

I think I am doing good right now. Since I started working I spend most of my days doing that and when school starts in August I will have no time to think about my situation. However, prior to working I was so miserable, frustrated, and unhappy. Now I just try to do what with what I can. I just let go of the fear I use to have. I would be so fearful to look for a job and just laid around the house feeling sorry for myself. I think now I am braver and I just take the days as they come.

very true, you have to occupy yourself with something. go out, do something. if you don't have a job. and stars, i tried to reply to your msg. but i couldnt b/c it said your inbox was full so you need to empty it lol

I would say that I am depressed. I feel "life-less." One of my so called good friends stop talking to me because she says I am lazy and I am bad energy for her. I cant take this anymore ,and I seriously just want to move on with my life. I will be moving back to Mexico next Summer if nothing happens. If Dream Act passes in 2010 then oh well I will have to learn to live with it.

I feel that this ordeal is more of a personal issue now. I am going crazy and no one believes it because well no one expects it out of me.

I feel the power when I think about my adventure back to Mexico. I will be doing it on my own and thats a risk that I'm willing to take. If I die on my way back then at least I did something for myself. I will have a memory of me doing something that feels free. I dont want to feel like a prisoner anymore. I know a lot if not most of you guys feel like this but sometimes people just have enough.

Everything just slips as day goes by and I need to take a stand on my life.

I can see myself in you, well the old me. So what do your days consist of?

Well I took Summer school and got a lot of units out of the way. I really only have two semesters left at the JC then I can transfer but I wont be able to transfer since there is no money.

My days right now consist of just sitting at home. I work out a lot since its fun and keeps my mind off things. I try to keep busy but there is only so much I can do. I dont really have a relationship with anyone because my mom does not understand me. She constantly tells me that I'm not the only illegal here and that I can find a job. She is a bit ignorant and irritates me at times so thats why I wanna leave.

I gave a guy a chance recently but it ended. I believe that he thought that I was lazy. He was really into me but after a while I guess he got sick of me just not doing anything. Apparently, going to school was not enough to impress him since he was also in school and doing 3 jobs.

boys are stupid lol
