Dear Abhodhbalaak,

Sajha.com is a great service. Many of us have come at some point or another to get other people's feedback. Some of which I am writing down below is not only for you, but it is things I try to remember in my life also.

We all go through ups and downs. But sometimes when we go through depression, than the downs can really bring us down. There are different things you can do that can help you cope.
Try doing some regular exercise. This always helps me to come out of feeling bad and down. Keep a notebook and right your thoughts and feelings down. Read some self-help books. Keep good company.

You are 23, so you are comparing with school friends. But there are many different people from many different walks of life. Judging where you are today by comparing where your friends from school are, is not always the most accurate way to measure progress. Sometimes we can get stuck in very narrow way of looking at our life and feel we are not making as much progress as we could. Stand back and try to see the bigger picture of life and what is truly important. There are many with money and education without peace of mind or happiness in their life.
It is hard to see all the above when we are rushing around everyday.

Don't always judge yourself from the standards of people in Nepal. They are way too judgemental and don't always understand all the different challenges in America.
