Hello all, thanks for reading.

Don't know where to start from really. I tried PsychCentral a few months back and was coping well then (had all the success and love I needed), so didn't bother logging on for a long time until now.

My situation's gotten really bad now. Its definitely the lowest I've been all life. Couldn't find a forum for 'procrastination', so filing it under depression.

So I arrived in London, 5000 miles from home to do a Masters. Learnt some amazing new things, tried out crazy new stuff, had a blast and came across some wonderful people along the way. I even managed to score a distinction. But thats past now. All my friends have returned to their home countries. I am left in London... lonely, cold and poor. The recession's hit the place really bad, and I haven't been able to find a job after 3 months of finishing my degree. Being used to staying active, at the top of things and always well connected, I find myself hiding behind the shadows, avoiding all human contact, not eating well, sleeping too much, playing video games all day and consuming a lot of caffeine and nicotine.

While I'm determined of staying in London and clearing my education debt, I'm really homesick now and feel rather isolated. I really need to get out of my procrastination-guilt-stress cycle, get a hold of my life, find a job and get my social and romantic life back on track. Seems like it's a matter of time, but my confidence and self esteem have been really dented, and I really hope I can be back to my winning, charming self soon.

Don't know what to ask from the reader, but I guess some motivation would be good. And also some tips on how I can ensure I do the things that need to be done - sleep and eat properly, stop wasting time, and do my best to find work.

Thanks a lot!
