I'm 24, currently working and going to the local community college part time. My dad died earlier this year. I'm really missing all of my friends that I've lost touch with. I'm coming up on 2 years out of a relationship with an emotionally manipulative person. I'm dating someone right now which is kinda cool but we live kinda far apart and only see each other every couple weeks so I think I need to find someone to date who is closer to me. I'm having trouble with debt, bills, and bureaucracy. I'm currently in something called SOP-1 which is something for people with potential substance abuse issues. I take medicine to help me sleep because for some reason I can't sleep at normal times. The biggest thing I have trouble with is that I have no people in my life that I'm actually close to. Part of it is because that is how I made my life, but I feel like part of it is out of my control. I wish I had more inspiration in my life but maybe that is something that you have to find rather than wait to come to you. Life is just feeling kinda shitty lately. I know I have it alright and so I feel shitty for feeling shitty which makes it even worse ha. I'm pretty much a shut-in these days and it is taking a toll on me in a lot of ways.
Anyways, this thread isn't just for me to type giant walls of text at you guys. Feel free to tell me about how your life is going too. I'll do my best to have an open ear and be a good friend.
A great man once said "Life is like a box of chocolates.....you never know what you're going to get."
In all seriousness though, I will give you this piece of advice, find something you have a passion for then find others with that same passion and surround yourself with those people. It doesn't matter if it is pick up basketball, reading, slot car racing, video games, whatever it is find a passion and surround yourself with others who share that passion. No matter how trivial the thing you are passionate about may seem to some, you'll find it gives you something to get excited about. I am passionate about Madden. I play in a 32 man year round league that we have done for 3 years now and it has become almost like a club. We are all pretty close and it has kind of become a second set of "friends".
It won't fix all your issues, but sometimes the bad things don't seem so bad when you find some good to balance them with.
