I'm slowly running out of copes and feeling very depressed. I realised that I don't have any close friends. No one that is a brother or sister to me but with no blood connection.
I only have surface level friends that I say hi to here and there. And the group I hangout with at school but I can only see them twice a week most of the time.
Whenever I do hangout with my friends. I'm always like the lowest of the group. Like the one everyone pokes fun at even tho they choose to hangout with me. And I get to socialise with people at my job at McDonald's.
And I deleted my old social medias a while ago(which was a very stupid mistake) and lost alot of contacts because of it that I can't seem to get back. Apart from that I'm pretty much lonely.
Lack of social connections equals a boring and dead life. How do you cope? Like honestly. It's so depressing having to stay alone at home with nothing to do. All I use is .is,YouTube and watch movies here and there.
And it hurts more because I'm a teenager and I'm supposed to be very social around my age. I ran out of PS plus. So PS4 is boring and I only use it for Netflix. I Just don't know what to do. And I'm feeling a bit of ropefuel,
Can somebody please PM me so I could have someone to talk to? It would be much appreciated. Thanks
Hey bro,i know ita bee a long time since you posted,how are you doing now?are you feeling better?Brother I don't think this is the best forum for you,you are young and have a whole life ahead of you.
It's okay bro,I understand how you feel,it happens.
Have you had a good breakfast today?
Listen to me man,have you tried journaling?it is extremely therapeutic ,you can write down your feelings,how your day went,it helps you understand yourself better and be introspective,it helps you to look at your flaws and improve upon yourself,just sit down and cry as much as you want to and then write about how you feel,trust me you will feel better.
you know what,most people in this forum have a defeatist attitude anc they claim to be realists,but they have a fixed mindset,which won't take you anywhere,a human must have a growth mindset.
So try journaling,don't Care about people friends or girls for sometime,focus on yourself,clean and organise your surroundings,your room,it's a good thing you deleted social media,if you lost contacts you can get them back through acquaintances,eat healthy nutritious food,I mean fruits,vegetables,dry fruits,drink milk and have some boiled eggs,be healthy.start exercising,start slowly not all at once.set a small achievable goal for yourself everyday,start with basic exercises which warm up your body and do some stretches,(you can also do some skipping using a rope,it increases height,and its goodness or your body)learn how to cook healthy food,please stop eating junk food,
Also try yoga,cooking ,baking,drawing,calligraphy,and art painting stuff.
Do you read books?i would highly recommend reading books,books widen your Horizon and give you perspective on life,read fiction,nonfiction,autibiographies,science,history,there is so much to be read.
Scientifically,exercise increases dopamine levels and can help with depression.please bro,don't give up ,for me,I care for you,I truly do ,because I know how it feels to be left out and feel lonely,having surface level friends,I understand you,I wish I could comfort you,but don't give up,I have faith in you,stay strong,this forum is not a good place,just don't give up.be consistent in your efforts,I know things may seem,hard,because I am 17 tooI hope things get better for you.
Also 1)how are your parents,your relationship with them,their relationship with one another,you have siblings?
2)how was your childhood?
3)besides depression,do you have any illnes,like anxiety,autism or adhd?
4)do you exercise and eat well ,start jogging
5were you bullied in school?do you have a hard time maintaining friendships?
6)what kind of music do you listen to,what kind of movies do you watch?
7)how are your studies going,?which country are you from and which class are you in?
I know it may seem that there is no light at the end of the tunnel sometimes,it feels hopeless,everything meaningless,but that's life,brother,we can't give up so easily,life is not fair.a successful happy person is not the richest man,the man with al the girls and friends,but a successful person is a person who has done the best with what life has given to him/her.accept things as they are,we cannot change our past,but we can change ourselves,our bd habits,our present and future is in our hands.
I recommend taking care of yourself,start journaling,try waking up early it may seem hard at first,I know,clean yourself,take a nice bath,after exercising,have ago duringmbreakfast,dress neatly,do you do skin care?take a steam,apply some moisturiser,toner,cleanser,some mild perfume
Before going to bed,you can apply some warm coconut oil in your head and massage yourself.get some sunlight,vitamin d is also necessary,(if you want you can use sunscreen too)
