Thanks again guys, I really appreciate the responses, and I hope they keep coming.
The situation with my friends is quite tricky. We had the same group of friends (very tight-knit) and as time went on, I felt that they were becoming more her friends than mine. I dug my own grave, I know, because when I feel bad I become withdrawn, but she reaches out to her friends. It's only natural that they're there to comfort her, hear her side of the story, etc. So I started feeling alienated, then very jealous and resentful. Time spent with her and those friends usually resulted in an argument about me feeling left out, or her feeling like I ignored her. I could never find a balance, so I eventually (and stupidly) left the group and said they were all hers. (I went on an interstate road trip a few months ago and as far as I know, none of my friends even know about it.)
As soon as I finish my last pieces of assessment I'm going to talk to my parents about my options. Last year my older brother worked overseas for nine months when he graduated university, so I'm thinking of pursuing something like that. That's just in the back of my mind, I'm just thinking of things I can do when I graduate. Working overseas, in a different city, etc. I don't think I want to stay in Melbourne anymore, I want to explore again!
