Hey guys. post travel blues stories and advice?
I'm really struggling here and i need some perspective. 25yr male fyi.
I was horribly depressed, did my 2 and half year European travel adventure, found myself spritiual awakening blah blah i hope you understand . I returned to my hometown, Adelaide where i have been more or less for the past 9-12 months. i feel very isolated and my depression is coming back, i find myself bored and unmotivated to do anything. i'm not sure if its adelaide, the people here, or if its just suburban life that is killing me.
i find some old friends/family boring and pretty well all of them are leading the kinds of lifes that i don't want any part of. everyone i know expects me to act a certain way due to our past history, and I willingly participate in the charade sometimes too. i just got an invite for a pre christmas gathering of my extended family, and the thought of going makes me physically sick. my priorities are just vastly different.
on a plus side quite a few people are openly commenting how they wish they had my strength of mind to live my own life regardless of social and cultural norms. while its nice to be an inspiration of a kind, fuck its hard being dragged down by all this shit.
though i have met a girl here, we were together for 3 months, and to put simply, having her around was my main source of motivation. she is now studying in scotland (organised before we got together, she is sad she had to leave me). which will take 6 months, i'm 3 months in. this might be a cause for my shitty mood. But still, if a woman is the ONLY thing i really like about this place, you think i still just hate this place?
tl:dr post travel blues stories and advice?

and if its worth anything, i am doing most things i set out to do on my return. i'm really organic agriculture so basically did my whole housemates/landlords backyard for free. i'm basically doing most the stuff i set myself out to do when i first returned to Aus. im feeling i don't have any community support/participation from my friends and family, and i'm lacking the motivation to go and meet new people. i reckon its what i need to do but blurghh

Oh my god, Jesus Christ, dear fucking lord, oh for fuck's sake, just go to the therapist and get put on a high dose of some drug.
>Boo hoo I'm fucking depressed because I'm not on vacation any more!
Fuck off. There are people with actual mental disorders out there right now who are actually suffering. You're just bored and self-isolating, you spoiled bitch.

i have seen a therapist, they don't think anything genetically wrong with me, even though throughout my life i have suffered from melancholy/deep depression. plus i do not want to be drugged out.
if you have nothing constructive to say, please say nothing at all.
