Hopeless
I've struggled with depression for a majority of my life. I've recently graduated high school and now work 50+ hour weeks at a job I don't like and make not so great pay, but I have no motivation to change my occupation or get more schooling. Recently I've been pushing away what few friends I have, I find that I don't really care to be around ppl and make excuses to avoid friends. I feel extremely lonely, yet I do these kinda things.... I feel like I almost want to hate everything and just isloate myself. I always feel angry and hopeless, and it's greatly affected my work, I've almost been fired so many times.
One of my greatest struggles is getting over my ex-girlfriend. We dated for a year, and it was absolutely the most magical thing in my life, she was the best thing that happened to me. We've been separated for about a year and half, and I still miss her more than ever. I've tried so hard to get over her and try meeting new girls and going on dates, but no one takes any interest in me, and the one or two dates I have been on, I'm just comparing them to my Ex, which makes it seem all the more hopeless.... How am I ever going to find someone else who can even slightly compare to her
I just feel utterly hopeless and don't want to bother with anything or anyone, and just wish to slip away
Sounds like you have got in a bit of a rut to be fair. I'm sorry you had to face all these problems and are going through tough time. Sounds like you need someone to talk to .
Is the depression still a problem? What are you like when your depression gets in the way? I can tell there may be some issues behind this and best thing to do is talk to someone .
I do feel it will help you can get everything out in open. This sounds very similar what I'm going through and if you wanna talk I'm here .
I understand the situation of you feeling down with this and feeling down with that that's why I see it's getting you no where . You need time for yourself right now. I know it may be difficult but it will improve things in long run.
Terms of help ask yourself what help is it you need? You said you don't like being around people, you feel unworthy, your not a good person etc. Think back to when you knew or thought things changed. If you don't go way back and try remember how you were to then and now. See if you can paint a picture and tell the story. Think how you were what was happening .
Did you feel any time you was lonely? Did you know who you were or did you feel were different.
Maybe this isn't making sense but you got some feelings here what your expressing what are pretty deep and there's something what's made this a problem. Tell me and us what we can do to help. What will help you

It sounds like you are fairly young if you just graduated high school, was this your first real love? It is hard at all ages when love does not work out for you, but you have have to give it time to get over her and be ready to move on. If you are comparing any woman you go out to your ex-girlfriend then you are not over her and, not to a point were you are ready to date other women. It sounds like you need to step back and refocus what are where you want to go in life. I have been where everything love, job, school, and self are all weighing you down, and it sounds like you need to reexamine and decide what you want to do for yourself and your future. Maybe you need to focus on taking the first step to make your life better, like finding work you enjoy doing and going back to school to reach for that type of job. Don't push your friends away, as it is beneficial to have people who know you to talk to and bounce ideas off of. Who knows many romances have started when a mutual friend introduces two people they know and think have things in common. Going back to school, changing jobs, and even going out with your friends occasionally might open your eyes, give you new things to focus on, and even lead you to possibly meet a person who is better than your ex. Finally, if you are to the point where you don't want to care or do anything, or you are thinking of slipping away then it might benefit you to find a family member, friend, or a professional to talk things out with.
