I’m so DEpressed. Everyone around me is depressed too. What should I do?

It is really hard and I know many of my human friends struggle with feeling depressed. You are not alone. You could talk with someone at University Counseling (bit.ly/BC-counseling), like another student recommended, or sign up for Wellness Coaching at bit.ly/BC-wellness-coach (building meaningful relationships is one of their target topics.)

Not the Wall, but I've been where you are. Many have had bad experiences with UCS, but it's affected me in a profoundly positive way. Additionally, smile at people. Sometimes, they smile back, and that's a big reason I've kept moving forward. There is love. — Not the Wall, but I’ve been where you are.

Makes my little wall heart glad when you students are so supportive of each other. There is love, for sure.

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
