hi Deneb,
you're going to graduate just fine, and you're NOT going to die! :) Life IS uncertain after graduation, but just take it one day at a time. Just graduate first.It's OK to live at home after graduation, while you figure out what to do and when to do it. It's OK to take some time to discover what's next: grad school, a job, etc.
yes, it will be stressful, but it's good that you're already thinking about how to handle it.
And I don't think that looking forward to the babble get-together is lame. I hope to be able to go, too! :)
I DO think it's good to keep putting fun events into your future to look forward to. I do it too, and it really helps me get through rough times when I think, "In 2 months, I get to do XYZ." Or, "in 6 months, we'll get to visit XXX." I think it's a great way to help make life more exciting.
What are your support systems right now in case you get stressed/upset to the point where you do seriously consider suicide?
