So i realize im not supposed to make this my blog, so ill try not to.

Im 4 months removed from graduating with a masters in econ. I have been looking for a job i guess somewhat unsuccesfully, i have had a few onsite interviews but for one reason or another none of them worked out. I have made a lot playing poker but that doesnt seem fulfulling anymore. As the days go by i guess i just feel myself sinking deeper and deeper into this directionless pit of despair. Its hard to explain really. I have no responsibilities really, i can do what i want when i want and have plenty of money, however i am becoming more and more unhappy by the day.

This has manifested itself thru withdrawing further and further from people thru not hanging out as much etc. I guess im not sure if this is normal (i mean the hard time finding a job not the emotional stuff) but i definately know i dont like it.

Im posting it because im sure some of you have been thru the same thing and would like you feedback on how to get out of the slump etc...

The type of depression you are suffering from is common. You should defintely focus on eating right, exercising regularly and maintaining a social life.

You could also try volunteering at a pediatric oncology unit where you might gain some perspective on your situation.

Why don't you go travelling? See the world and use your money to enjoy yourself?

I had a huge long semi-emo response typed out, but I deleted it.

Basically life after college kinda sucks for a while. I spent the first year+ out of school simply wishing I was back there w/ my buddies.

It gets better (I'm almost 3 yrs out now). Either that, or I'm starting to forget how much fun college was. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Everybody goes through the same thing, but the misery that you feel now will eventually be broken up by stretches of time where you will feel that you're happy. Of course, you're not happy. You're just too numb from your hellish life to feel the pain.

just curious: why did you get a master's degree in economics?
