In short, my situation is this: I had a son 3 years ago right after I finished school. I went to study PolSci for a few semesters but got kicked out bc I got very depressive and couldnt even manage to get out of bed and buy food. Then I started studying Economics for 2 semesters but same problem.

Now I dont have anything, my gf and me broke off, I lost all friends bc of depression and dont have a job or any job education. I’m 24 and went back to living at my mom’s house. I don’t really know what to do now, it is very hard to find a job or an apprenticeship, I feel like a deadbeat (which I probably am tbh). I started taking antidepressants but the depression is just too strong sometimes.

I feel so ashamed of myself bc I have no job and no job education and don’t know how I should continue. I’m not suicidal or anything, but I am beginning to lose hope that I will ever be able to feel happy again and the loneliness is killing me.

Any advice would be much appreciated :)

    I feel for you comrade. I’ve had a very different journey than you but I’ve struggled with loneliness and lost friendships as well. I think an important thing to do in the short term is to reach out to your old friends. Some may be uninterested, but you might be surprised how easily many dormant friendships can be rekindled - I’ve had friends that I hadn’t spoken to for well over 5 years that picked back up like we didn’t miss a beat once I actually built up the nerve to reach out. This could be helpful to getting you out of a negative feedback loop.
