I don't know what to do...

[homeyg]

I thought I had been like reborn after spring break, because I came out of spring break with a girlfriend, having met a few more people, and I thought everything was going good and maybe my life was taking a 180 degree turn from the rest of my crappy year. Then a week later it was prom, and I thought me and my girlfriend had a good time (we double dated with my best friend and his date), but the day after she dumped me to go back out with her ex-boyfriend who broke up with her like the first day of spring break...

It's been a few weeks since then and my life sucks now and I'm just depressed all the time. My friends are mostly seniors and they are all graduating (most don't even have to go to school at this point anymore). I don't really have any junior friends that I could call up to hang out, so I'm pretty much gonna be friendless next year (and possibly over the summer if they all go to college early). I suck at meeting new people. I don't even really know any girls anymore so I have zero chance of getting a girlfriend anytime soon... I've been smoking too much pot lately and I think it's becoming a problem because that's all I want to do anymore (I've been getting high about 2 times a day for the past month). I feel guilty because I've just been smoking everyone else's pot because I never have any money to buy my own. I don't have a job or anything to fill my time and I have no desire to get one (everyone else I talk to actually wants to get a job). I have no desire to go to school anymore or to do good in school. I don't really want or plan to go to college.

I don't know how to pull myself out of this slump...

(I've been getting high about 2 times a day for the past month).

I'm surprised you have any short term memory left. Anyway the first step is always the hardest. Cease with getting high or at least decrease how much you do it and start doing some sports.

 

[b etor]

i agree with cleric

 

[homeyg]

I have a feeling my life is still going to suck even if I quit that stuff.

 

[Kozmos]

Make an effort dude. My life sucked too in ele.school but guess what I went bat&&&&insane in high school and everyone loves me now.

And if it does suck? So what, be a man dammit. Suck up the pain and turn it into a creative destructive energy. Or something like that...

Music my friend, there is always salvation in music. Go to more gigs!!!! Meet people with common intrests!

 

[Communisto]

i agree with the above.

 

[Kozmos]

Yes shows and gigs is great way to meet like minded people. Throw in some liquid courage and all will be well.

 

[Princeps]

Sigh. Well, I'm glad to know I am not the only one depressed.

 

[Communisto]

do you need a hug?

 

[homeyg]

Music my friend, there is always salvation in music. Go to more gigs!!!! Meet people with common intrests!

I've never even been to a gig/concert of any kind..

 

[b etor]

omg GET TO ONE!

 

[Communisto]

yeah seriously

 

[Elrohir]

First of all, stop smoking pot. I really can't see how that's going to help anything, especially when it's not yours, and there's other stuff you should be doing. Secondly, get a job over the summer to make some money and get out of the house, and stuff. Third, just be sure to make an effort next year to make new friends. And fourth, don't be so pessimistic - things usually aren't as bad as we think.

 

[capslock]

This is really a no brainer. You must a total dolt if you don't even know how to get out of your slump. Most people know what to do, but don't have the will.

That said, I'm not suprised your in such a rut, and with the attitude you are displaying here, you will always be in one.

 

[CaptainF]

I'd say don't put such a damn high priority on girls. At this age, they're too damn fickle.

If you're not gonna stop all together, decrease teh pot smoking.

Take up a sport, or go to a gig. Either way you'll meet new people, and with a sport you'll get a slammin' physique.

 

[Godwynn]

things usually aren't as bad as we think.

Agreed. I bet you would much much much rather be in your shoes than the average person living in Africa.

 

[CCA]

Join a communist party or some other hopeless cause.

At least it will keep you to busy to smoke pot.

 

[Nylan]

Yeah, I agree with all the above (save Francisco )

Exercise and going to concerts and things releases endorphins, which are a short term help you can add to the long term benefits.

In fact, just playing air guitar releases endorphins.

If music and sports don't interest you (gasp!) find some other hobby

and yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about girls at the moment. If you're lucky something will come your way anyways. If not, it's okay you still have time. Don't stress too much.

I'm gonna try to describe what I'm feeling because I really think something is wrong:

Some days I'll just wake up and be in a "f*ck everything" mood that I can't really control. I think about everything in a pessimistic way and I can't control that either. I think about what I would do if I just quit school at that very moment. Sometimes I just think about killing myself. By the end of the day, I usually get in some kind of fight with my parents because I tell them I want to quit school and I refuse to go, and it usually ends with them threatening to call the cops on me.

Then I wake up the next day and everything feels fine. But I just know that a few days later the same thing is going to happen.

The problem is that I can't control this..
