Trapped again

Post Reply New Topic

Oh God, oh God, oh God. Back here again and depressed, ready for another round of complaining!

Two week break. Not as good as it sounds. I haven't gone out. I've done nothing except play video games and a small amount of piano.

HOW do I break out of this!? What's the first step?! Where do I start!? Can't find an activity I enjoy. CAN'T. Found a nintendo DS club, they only accept 18 year olds. Tried drawing. Always loved drawing, but I get angry because I can't make anything good. It'll take too much time (years) to get good at and I want something that I can do to help me get out of the cycle of sitting here all day getting up late and doing NOTHING.

Come on, there has to be something. I guess I go for walks in the park, but that doesn't make me feel happy or sad. Maybe bored is the right word. Can't find anything good to read. Can't find a reason to go out or talk with friends.

What do i do? I don't want to waste the remaining week I have and then go back to harsh studying and exams and feeling like crap in general with no one to talk to about it. I have never been trapped in a cage before but I imagine this is what it feels like.

Maybe you should start a DS club yourself that isn't ageist! Or write a letter to the DS club that you looked into telling them that they need to reconsider discriminating against young people. It's quite a shame when you are denied welcome to something like that simply because of your age.

I don't know much about this myself, but maybe you should look into online gaming.

Also, what about your drawing? Do you care to tell a little more about why you can't draw? I used to love to draw too, but now I beat myself up because of the can't-make-anything-good feeling. And then I realized that there's a bit more to it--my mental energy has to be above a certain level before I can draw.

Might there be something deeper bothering you? Like a problem with your parents, teachers, friends, school, or home life? When you think about it, school is pretty demanding in itself. You're expected to study things you have no interest in, teachers can be pretty mean, the kids can be mean. And it occupies most of the day.

I wouldn't know how to start making a club like that...I don't have many friends that play games much and no one would want to go if I headed it. Online gaming never works to well, it's boring as a game and It's still hard to approach people to talk to them. Although there was this one girl I played with online who was practically my best friend and she was in Taiwan! that says something about me making friends back home, and for some reason she just straight up started to ignore me one day...I hate it when you have no idea what you did wrong...
I used to like drawing, but them I realized I couldn't at all. I've tried to get better, read tutorial books, but it takes too much time and I don't enjoy it...It doesn't come naturally to me.

Sorry to shoot down all your suggestions. It's just that I never do anything with anyone and never have a reason to go outside. I feel like a scumbag. All I do is live and that's it. Maybe I'm just over complicating something really petty. This isn't the first time I've felt like this.

There has to be an easier way to get out of this. If there are so many people out there who have lives and do stuff with friends, why does it seem so out of the question for me? What could i be doing wrong?
