Hey guys...I know this is a tall order, but how do you learn to bloom where you're planted? Or at least be at peace? Sometimes I feel trapped where I end up--like the college I'm at or the places I often am forced to go, that rebellious desire to be somewhere else, somewhere new. Better? I don't adapt. Everything shifts to my mood. It's like I lack integrity or something because my subconscious spills and paints my surroundings and poisons any roots I've might have put down.
>almost consistently gloomy--months without laughing, hurricanes of existential anxiety. Have been like this since late high school
This existential shit comes around and makes me question where I am (at a college that really doesn't seem like a good fit for me, but covers almost my entire tuition), what I've done, and where I'm going. It's uncomfortable and stressful living such a life. I don't know what I should do--I should be working towards my future and stop trembling in my stead.q

Sounds like you have some heavy depression.
It's normal to feel unhappy doing something you don't want to do. If your schooling doesn't feel right for you it makes sense you don't want to go there. Getting comfy where you've been planted can make you wilt. Maybe you need to move somewhere you can really bloom.
It sounds like you're in a life leading to a place you don't want to be. What do you want to do? Who do you want to be?
