What the fuck do I do /adv/? My parents sent me to rehab and I'm finally out. I spent three months there. They put me in not really because of my use, but because I stopped going to university and to work and because I was delving deeper into my depression as days went by. My use made all of it worse and I even went though a psychotic break a couple of months before being institutionalized, but the main cause of it all was my depression, not my use. Anyways, I'm dying to have a drink and go partying with my friends, but I'm obviously prohibited from doing that. Right now I'm stuck at home and feeling lonely as fuck. I'm not psychotic anymore due to antipsychotics and the antidepressants are helping with my general psyche, but mentally I still feel depressed. Right now I'm waiting for my work to call me in again, so I'm spending my days doing fuck all, browsing /adv/ and watching movies. I don't know how long I can go on without using anything. Not really asking for advice here, just venting and writing off my situation here because I have nothing better to do, but I would appreciate if someone would give their two cents and tell what they think about it all. Right now I'm feeling lost in my loneliness, my depressionless depression and the lack of things to do.

I work in a government census bureau doing surveys, area mapping and that kind of stuff. My passion currently is nothing, I think. Also, where should I start to build a new me?
>>18181929
hmm.
either you could start learning programming as a new passion, considering your new current passion
( my advice - ruby lang)
or if you hate this job go for painting and 3d animations - start with flash or blender or maya
or either start an anime.
you have money as you did job, i donot have money and so i cannot afford to buy canvas to paint, i cannot go out on trekking because I am brooke, i cannot programme or animate
i have dislexia.
I hope to hear from you again.
as i am just advicing you as I just sit in my room and read articles and pirated books.
I hope the money you have left helps in this sense.
there is nothing more sad than having no passion. although passion is an illusion of materialistic world .
good luck.

Rehab can't have just thrown you out on your own. There must be aftercare or counselors you can call on. Chances are that your post-rehab feelings are very common and they know how to help you through them.

I like you.
I know some programming, though I'm not in a coding vibe right now. Painting and modeling aren't all that interesting to me either. I might start learning music production though, now that you mentioned some stuff I could do. Also, what articles and books are you reading?

I'm going back there on Tuesday, so yeah, I'll see how that goes, but there's only so much it can do for me.
