What made me happy in the first place doesnt make me happy anymore. I used to love school, everything about it, doing work, learning, succeeding. I can’t find motivation anymore, I can’t focus anymore…

it doesnt seen fun anymore. i hear stories from all these older people who are successfull in my field of study and the jobs sound boring, they make jokes and laugh about things that i really dont see as funny but boring. i am having a hard time getting job too, as if no one thinks im good enough or anything, but i have a 3.5 gpa. its freaking me out and making me feel worthless. on top of that i have no social life, i try to make jokes around people and be a friendly person but no one seems to take it. Ive never had a girl friend either, but have had extreme feelings for some girls who dont return the same feelings. I am so lonley, and it bothers me to the point where i cant sleep well at night. it kills my confidence and puts me down. i feel like ive wasted my life up to this point studying and improving my technical skill while my social life went off a cliff or somthing. its all really stressing me out, i cant focus or think straight anymore. I feel sick physically… really freaking out…

i look at my future, given myself now, and see myself working a job that requires lots of time and is not fun at all, rather very boring, and not having anyone at my side, no friends either. it all seems hopeless…

you sound like me a few years ago my friend..
my best advice to you is find something u enjoy doing and make it a hobby and don’t quit it, even find a way to make money off of that. truth is nothing is over until ur dead and dont think of ever doing that because no life is a waste. see a doctor about clinical depression is also a good idea,

i dont think its clinical, this has been getting worse oer the past year or so, i cant think of anything that is a hobby, i dont have anytime to spend looking for one either, i am in debt from school, and the only thing that is really my best choice is to keep going, graduate, get a job and pay off student loans…..but then what? i am lonley, bored, and upset/depressed. I dont have any money for hobbies either.

yea that’s clinical and u need treatment.

now look ahead, you are getting an education, something alot of people in the world cant afford. work towards your studies and set a goal for them. find something you like to do and get that job. work is less of a job if you actually like it

Go out, go out to different places. Look where people meet and go to them and meet people. If one place dosen’t do it for you, then try another. Just don’t stop.

It sounds to me like you are suffering from stress and depression. There is help out there for you if you seek it out, but you have to make the first step. See a doctor and tell him/her how you are feeling and ask for advice on how best to treat it. Also try to spend 10mins per day for yourself just relaxing and clearing your mind, deep breathing helps. Although you say nothing interests you, if you keep looking there will be something that gives you a sense of purpose and makes you feel better about yourself. Try helping others, as that will put your own problems into perspective, and also give you a great peace of mind. Things alway have a way of getting better in the end, so don’t give up on happiness because you will get there. Good luck.

I’m unhappy too. I feel bored with my life, like nothing’s interesting. I find myself clinging to the number of days until somthing remotely interesting happens.
