loneliness is getting the better of me
hi everyone, i hope you're all doing well today. i have been very unhappy for the past few months. ive lost a few friends, and with graduating in june and not yet having a job, my days have ended up repetitive, boring, and at the least, very draining. i have no desire to do anything that brings me joy. i only have two friends at the moment, and they've been very busy, so ive felt very alone. i dont blame them of course, but i dont know what to do. i have no desire to get up and do anything fun. i used to play my bass guitar for hours everyday or bake for hours. but now, i haven't felt like doing anything but lay in bed and listen to music. ive felt so empty and sad. it's so draining and ive tried reaching out to my friends but nothing they say helps. sorry if this seems like more of a rant than anything lol, i just dont know where to turn from here.
Yeah I understand, I’ve had times in my life where I’ve lived exactly how you described, and I hated it...It’s like your stuck in a loop, nothing seems to be motivating you or moving forward except time. It’s tough...This sounds overly simple but, if you don’t want to be stuck...Move, literally...Depression is very sneaky, it’s very gradual. If you tend to just sit there, it grows and grows. That’s why many recommend Exercise which I have found works wonders if you can get it going...Start small, 10-20 jumping jackets every morning. You’d be surprised what that can do after like 3 days straight...At one point, My house became my depression head quarters, when I would be having really bad days, I would have to just step outside and walk a few blocks, Anything to keep your mind from feeding the cycle. I know what your thinking, getting a Job would sure break the cycle lol, probably true, but life is Funny, that would be too Convenient, More than likely it will come when you start fighting back against the Depression. I know it’s hard, but hang in there, think Baby steps instead of Giant leaps for right now. Instead of listening to 3 hours of music like yesterday, cut it down to 2 and Half, Seeing yourself improve can be Very Motivating. Your great life is still possible for you, just keep moving Forward...Good luck
new adventures will start soon and I hope you will make new friends very soon
