Any advice? I don’t have any passions but I just need something to get out this endless misery
I’m trying to find something, I just feel so low. I really don’t have a clue as to what i want to do. I struggled for years to graduate from college and it eventually just became the only thing I cared about, just finishing. I lost my job in February because of school and i finally graduated in May but i still haven’t found a job yet. I don’t have any hobbies anymore because I pretty much got rid of them so I can graduate. And now everything just feels boring, when I try to pick up an old hobby or new one. I’m stuck on unemployment so i barely ever have money after my car and rent is paid, and almost anything that would get me out of the house or socialize cost money.
I use to run track but after I quit the team for school it just doesn’t feel like it use too, I coached for a lil bit but the when I got my job( the same one that fired me in feb) I no longer had the time and got replaced. I used to play football but now an adult leagues cost 300+ just to join and i don’t have the money for it. Life is really just getting more and more depressing. I felt like hurting myself when I was struggling to graduate but now I just feel worse than that. Just empty. I don’t know how to talk to my friends or my family anymore I feel left out unwanted, I feel like everyone barely believes anything I say now. I’m just stuck at home everyday in my room I have nothing but video games and doomscrolling and it gets so boring but I have nothing else to do.
I’m pretty much rationing food because I can’t get food stamps because I’m unemployed despite me desperately looking and applying for jobs, I just can’t get hired. My brother and my parents keep telling me that I should just stop worrying about work right now because I’m getting unemployment for now, and that I should take this time to relax and enjoy my free time while I have it. But how can I when I’m barely hanging on by a thread every week? I just feel like I wasted so many years chasing for this degree for it to make my life better only for it to honestly make it worse.
