Have you tried talking to a therapist?

what have you done to 'get over' it?

I'm in the same boat, dropped out of college in February because of it. Have you spoken to your doctor about it? Do you have a counselor/therapist? Are you on medication? If you haven't spoken to anybody about it you should do that ASAP. Make sure you tell them everything.

I've tried to improve my life and my situation but I've completely failed every time. I am a 28 year old man with no friends no social life no place of his own no car no education no nothing. I am completely miserable and I really haven't had much in my life. I don't know anything about life love or sex. Everything I do know has been learned from the internet because I've been so socially isolated. I want different things from life I want happiness I want fulfillment I want to feel like I have something to wake up for and fight for every day but I don't have that. I've struggled for years to get on my feet and everytime I get close something goes wrong or falls apart I can never just steadily move forward in life. I self-medicate these feelings with alcohol so little bit in that drunken Haze I can forget about my problems and feel good. I'm tired of beating my body up and I'm tired of feeling this way I feel like I'm getting worse off day by day. The Suicidal Thoughts are coming back the feelings of hopelessness loneliness anger frustration and deep depression are coming back into my life.

And the things I've tried to better myself, I've tried losing weight I've tried getting myself around people and more social activities I've tried dressing better. I am completely unhappy with who I am My Life and everything that has gone on in it. I feel like this is my fate in life sometimes to have nothing or nobody and just exist without meaning or purpose until my death from natural causes liver failure or my eventual suicide. It pains me to see people my age enjoying their lives doing things like traveling amongst other things. Fun interesting things that make you feel alive and have you make good lasting memories. I'm still trying to get on my feet I'm still unemployed I'm still overweight I'm still an alcoholic and I'm still completely miserable.

Run away and join the French Foreign Legion.

The thing that gets me the most not just having my own things in my own life it's all the things that I've missed out on and continue to miss out on. Things that I probably won't ever get to experience again and something that would just be another shity feeling that will come back late at night and I'll crack open a couple beers just to drown that feeling in. Like with a lot of my problems and the things that I have bothering me. I can't go to people I can't go to professionals I can't go to medication I have to turn to substances to help numb that feeling and numb that pain.

Serotonin and dopamine levels tend to lower as you age.
And if your depression is genetic is only getting worse.
Sorry.

I know it sounds so generic but tried getting a job soon as possible getting the weight off and getting yourself into extracurricular activities. Being around people will help with these feelings of depression go do things that you enjoy

I'm not sure if it's genetic or not but I do understand the fact that I do have a lot to be unhappy about. When I'm around people doing things that I enjoy like going to concerts and things like that then I feel better I feel happy I feel like that shity feeling is gone for a little bit. I kind of have this hope that if things do work out and it get myself together and then I can probably find some happiness and sense of belonging in life. I'm just tired of being young and not being able to do the things that young people do because I have no income or anything and that's the biggest part of my depression right now is I don't have anything it's summer I'm not enjoying it I have no one around I'm completely flat fucking broke and all I got is the shity hotel room and what's going on in my head I really have nothing else. I'm not socializing normally in it or anything like that so I understand the way I feel and just think that if I got the opportunity to make some things change I might feel a little better

The good times end; but so do the bad times. Thats the meaning of life. Persevere through the cycle. If you had no challenges in life, would it be worth your time?

Very little good times, just the bad and the negative is all ive seen.

My friend. The night is always darkest just before the dawn. You will hang in and you will be happy again.

I read your chain messages and I'm going to tell you this. Everyday the second you wake up, you get the fuck up from your bed, no excuses, and you make your bed to look like perfection. Next you better drag your ass outside and at the VERY least walk some place somewhere for 10 minutes. This is a great start to things but I want you to start increasing that time by 5 minutes every week MINIMUM. Eventually I want you to work your way up to jogging every morning for at least 10 minutes, and then to running at brisk pace. Do this shot, itll help with everything. Have you tried signing up for the military?

No. Military is not an option.

Instead of thinking what you need to do to in life in order to acheive happiness - Just try to feel happy right now. This minute. And you'll see it feels good. And you can keep thinking this way and maybe, after a while, you wont even realise it, but-

your actually happy.

Nah. That doesn't work.]

Well. Have you tried smokimg weed? Helps me reflect on my thoughts. It really does work. Just a low THC and contemplate things..

Weeds a depressant like alcohol

Not OP, but this is actually my plan and if I didn't have a dogo to take care of, I would already be hanging out in some shitty African jungle.

That's stupid.

Right? Still doesn't change the fact that once my doggo is laid to rest, I'm going bail on this life and go fuck around in Malaria town. I truly believe that I am not cut out for this type of life I am living now. It's just so draining.

It still sounds stupid.

Well that's because it is.

Yo p

That's a questionable plan. French legion is not that easy to join.
