hi all,

because of my routine ups and downs, i am not going to school (i am a university student), i am not doing anything constructive, i havent worked (and i dont think i am fit enough to work), overall, i just waste my time. at times it feels like there is nothing for me. i feel lonely sometimes but i dont enjoy meeting people at the same time. i cant think, i cant read ... really helpless right now.

any of you got suggestions for me?

regards.

Hi Rudy,

Welcome to the forums. Nice to have you here.

I don't know much about what might be an option for you... but a psych professor once talked to us about how he likes to help people that are struggling with depression or PTSD. He said one problem is a feeling of isolation and worthlessness because people don't feel up to working, but they would like to be contributing in some way. He suggested volunteering for the community. It gets you out and moving, gives you a purpose and a chance to help others, and a bit of human contact, which isn't really all bad. You could choose how much time to put into it, and on the days when it seems like you just can't, you don't. Just a thought... I'm sure others will have more.

Take care, Quay
