extremely depressed I feel like I’m falling apart and I don’t know what to do anymore… does getting a job actually help with this?

I don’t really know how to explain everything without sounding like I’m overreacting, but I honestly feel like I’m falling apart lately.

I’ve gone through 2 heartbreaks recently and it feels like it broke something in me. On top of that, I’ve been dealing with a lot of sexual regret from choices I made when I was emotionally vulnerable, and I can’t stop thinking about it. I keep replaying everything in my head and wishing I could go back and do things differently.

Most days I’m just at home alone and it honestly makes everything worse. I overthink constantly. I check my phone too much. I sit in silence with my thoughts and it feels like I’m stuck in my own head with no escape.

I don’t really feel like myself anymore. I feel depressed, unmotivated, and just… stuck. Like I’m watching my life instead of actually living it.

I’ve been thinking about getting a simple job like fast food or retail just so I’m not home all day, but I don’t know if it would actually help or if I’d still feel this way mentally. I just know staying in my room all day is making everything worse.

Has anyone been through something like this?
Did getting a job actually help you mentally, or was it just a distraction?

I guess I just need advice on everything—heartbreak, regret, overthinking, and how to start feeling like myself again. I don’t want to stay stuck in this cycle anymore.

Existential crisis

Is anyone else ready to leave and go start their own community on a farm?.😅

The more time passes and I see how much this system is set up against us, I’m ready to leave. I don’t want to participate in any of the distractions given to us to make us not realize how much shit sucks. I’m emotionally and spiritually exhausted.

Does anyone have advice on how to keep motivated during a time like this?

I really need a friend

I have no one talk to, I feel so alone. I have no friends, no one. I alienated my family too, i thought I would be able to do a creative endeavour alone but I spent years watching porn and wasting my life. I have watched a lot of youtube and philosophical videos too.

Failed a class, fell like shit

Hello to anyone reading this, this is my first time posting, sorry if this is unorganized and not grammatically correct. I got a D in a class, this was my second semester in college, I feel like absolute shit, especially I don’t even think I did good in my other classes. I wanna say that I’m just not smart enough, but I also know I didn’t put enough effort. I’m a bio student, I think I’m gonna have to retake the course of eventually. Like what should I do from here really? Like am I not College material?

But the worst thing is, I know I won’t care for long. I have such a selfish mindset that I’m only bothered temporarily. I don’t even think this will affect me long term if I continue college because I’ll probably keep doing the same dumb shit I did for this class. The only time I feel real guilt is when my parents or older brother come to me with expectations, and I know they’re going to ask about it and end up disappointed and probably angry. And they have the right to be. Like what should I do? How can I become better? I just don’t know what to do both on academic level and a personal level.

I can’t feel anything anymore

I feel fat and disgusting, every time something bad happens I cry. (I cry while typing this) everyone always blames me and thinks I’m the problem. I’m only 1_3 with a lot of problems in my life. I hate my life so much.

Legit dont wanna live

A girl recently got me for couple thousand dollars over couple months knowing im a nice person she made it seem like she was struggling financially knowing I would help her while the whole time she was having sex with another man. I knew before we got together she was a ho but idk why I thought it’d be different and got burned. Knowing that I still had feelings for her she sent me a pic of her and her side man because we got into am argument. Now that I’m exposing. What she did and how she is she tried saying Im a bad person for doing that. wtf is wrong with ppl now a days? Why do so many people lie or look to hurt others on purpose when it can be avoided

Maybe the cure for loneliness is parethood? The only non superficial relationship left it seems. Afterall, nothing beats family.

Anyone want to talk about life?

I don’t have a favourite person to call. I feel really hurt right now and there’s no one to listen. I am also willing to hear you out if there’s no one you can talk to. I’ve had this deep sadness for days, and it makes my chest stuffed and my eyes heavy.

Everything that used to be good sucks

Am I depressed? I don’t believe that I am, but maybe I am. This post isn’t to detract from people experiencing true depression and I hesitate to even make this post.

Is it just me, or does everything just kind of suck now? Everything I used to like just doesn’t hit the same anymore. I’m sure part of it is middle age, but I used to be an avid sports fan, and the greed and play style of virtually every sport I loved, basketball, baseball, football to an extent is just so homogenized and feels like some cheap product now.

I’m an avid music fan and the concert experience is fucking atrocious at least in my city. Many of the bands I enjoy either quietly quit or can’t afford to do national touring anymore.

Every movie studio gave up making quality movies in hopes of making a blockbuster, 2025 is the first year in well over a decade where I felt some optimism about cinema.

TLDR basically everything I experienced release from sucks now. Anyone else go through that realization?

Can anyone speak to their experience on antidepressants

I’m terrified of weight gain but I truly cannot take being alive anymore and I’m worried of what I’ll do next. I don’t think there’s any possibility that I can be less depressed but I want to have less thoughts.
