Always depressed when i have nothing to do

At the moment I am unemployed, under-qualified and inexperienced. I find this extremely depressing since most of my life I have been extremely ambitious, although I've gone the wrong way about it and realize what the world is really like. I find small pleasures in going out and socializing, although not even 10mins after all that, I sit and think about how I am not actually doing anything to make a living. It is hard to even get the lowest paying job here where I stay, I don't even have the slightest clue as to where I might begin. How do I regain my willpower? I've been going through so many things to try and stay afloat but I feel as though I've hit rock bottom, and there's no point on even trying anymore.

Is It Normal?
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • If the eye is dark then so is the soul.

    What I mean is, if all you ever choose to look at is the negative then of course you'll see things negatively and circumstances will reinforce your preconceived notions.

    Any outward change begins first with an inward one. Control where your mind goes and you'll find it affects your circumstances for the better.

    • I understand that concept.. by the way this post that I had up here ages ago, I think it is a feeling that comes and goes, I'm going through it again and that's precisely why I am back on this miserable site haha..

      As you were saying, it is the way one perceives things and I get it, I just think things are a little bit complicated :/ I'm finding it hard to smile when things just genuinely are kinda mishapen. But thank you, great observation.

    • oh man...... :(

      being a woman myself I know moments of crazy where I just want to betray everyone so it is my advice that you don't trust woman completely. Actually try not to have your money fall into the wrong hands of any gender or species. I really hope things look up for you, you really aren't worthless if you managed to make lots of money at some point. :)

    • Women can be so evil. Thats why i rather be selfish and greedy because nobody busts their ass for me but me. Thats the only way you will survive in life being selfish because if you arnt then people will just fuck you over. Hope you get better, and that woman will get her ass kicked by karma.

  • Im 18 yers old, barely becoming an adult.I felt like this two weeks ago. Maybe my problems arent as big as yours but ill still tell you anyway. I never had a job before, not even during highschool. I graduated i had no job. I had to take my written test for the driver license 5 times! I failed an entry test at some school 5 times as well. I felt like such a failure, lowlife, useless piece of shit. I didnt even want to try anymore. I cried my butt off. I didnt give up though ! I went bck to the dmv passed my test and my driving test, passed my entry test to get into the school and all i need is a job now. But right when i was going to give up things started getting better. I never believed in the phrase "never give up" and now i can actually tell people to never ever give up because you might give up right when you're gunna achieve something.

    • Well I think that it's excellent that you're trying really hard to make a change where you'd had many failings. By the way the next few years you learn ALOT more than you did in the past 18years of your life, you will mature significantly, I wish you a smooth ride. I'm only turning 22 this month but I've grown so much since I was 18

  • I don't know anything about you except that you can and do use a computer.

    If you want to be qualified for jobs, learning VBA for the Microsoft package could be the best thing for you. There are free books and instruction guides everywhere. If you have that on an app for many places, it moves you up the totem pole immeasurably.

    Just some advice. I have no idea how you are with computers so maybe not good advice but there anyway.

    • I am fairly adept at using my very dear computer but I'm afraid I've had a go at complex things and simply cannot wrap my teensy little brain around them. I've become fairly skilled at html and css but in terms of programming and scripting I unfortunately go no further than that. Actually when it comes to anything computer-wise I hath been dubbed jack of all trades and master of none. This is why I would like an army of minions that will focus on certain tasks such that I may build my long awaited gaming empire! I am really good at coming up with game mechanics but never had the chance to apply these skills because I live in a very backwards country

  • You had so many opportunities and you wasted them all. I'd feel depressed too in your place.

    • Kick a horse while it's down why don't you. Well anyway I think I have found new pride and I place myself amoungst other underachievers such as Bill Gates and Robert Einstein and so on and so forth. My life isn't over yet and I haven't become a hobo yet so I'm probably doing alright

  • It's normal to feel down when shit happens. Don't mistake it for full on depression like alot of people do, cause then you'll just be paying out the 9's for medication that just fucks you up more. Keep going, things get better.
