I'm 23 and finished uni half a year ago.
Since then I've done nothing with myself, just living off the dole at home; gaining weight and developing a drinking problem. I still do the things I have to do but not much else.
My problems are a lack of social aptitude and on-and-off depression, which has been getting worse. I used to go ok when I was at uni.
I know the thing that triggered my descent was problems with a girl: we developed feelings but she changed her mind and we eventually talked about it but things were awkward but then we talked about it but then I developed feelings again and I tried to talk to her about it but she ignored me. about a month later she apologised, said she'd been busy and asked when I'd like to meet with her but I'd long since given up at that point so I ignored it. I still see her around occasionally and we maintain a facade of friendliness but I don't talk to her.

Anyway, that is the ultimate cause, but it was also a culmination of other problems, particularly with my frustration in my own inabilities and not knowing what I want to do with life.

And now I'm down here I don't see any way to get up and out. I have no motivation or drive to find work. I have no hobbies or strong interests, (and I occasionally try something but it never seems to work out) few good friends and no close friends. My social anxiety and ineptitude both makes me scared of entering the real world and fills me with despair; feeling I could never make it anyway.
And so, I simply don't know what to do.

get a job, move into your own place and take some responsibility for yourself

For what purpose though. I'm struggling to find the motivation to do those sorts of things

You need some kind of structure in your life? Do you exercise regularly? It has been shown to combat depression. Maybe waking up at 7am and talking a walk around the block once or twice may start to help. It is a first step.

I definitely agree that helps. I did start going to the gym again recently although it's happened quite a few times in the past that I go well for maybe a month and fall out of it after regressing again and losing my motivation or something like that, and I won't be surprised if it happens again soon.

I figure what I need is some sort of goal, or reason to get out of bed and do something, that isn't simply to meet society's expectations.

What to do when you feel exercise doesnt help on depression?

>>17797871
you got issues you need to sort out
no one here can help you overcome it but yourself

Yeah I'm aware but I have no idea how to sort them out
