And it doesn't look like they're going to come back for some reason.

This really depresses me. :(

I hate this life very much.

Ha we seem to have cross-replied to our own threads, that's amazing.

The problem here is that none of my friends actually know each other, which makes it even more depressing. (hidden conspiracy?)

Uh, perhaps maybe because school is ending for the season, they are on holiday, or have a summer job, or are looking for a summer job, or are visiting relatives, or engaged in other summer pursuits. Even if you are beyond school age, many of your friends may be included in family visits or family holiday trips. So chill. Once summer is more advanced or over, you will probably be hearing from them again. :D

I suggest you look into some summer activities of your own.

- Exercise. It generates mood boosting endorphins.

- Read funny stories and watch funny shows. Humor also generates endorphins.

- Eat healthy, and enough of it. A healthier diet will boost your immune system and is also good for your mind. Skimping on amount of food leads to depression, crankiness, and being more prone to get sick.

- Get enough rest. Being tired leads to depression, crankiness, and being more prone to get sick, too.

- Listen to and/or play music. This is mood boosting.

- Take courses, either in person, or online. Some of the online ones are free. The in person ones are a good way to meet people.

- Volunteer. There are people worse off than we are, who would really appreciate the help. It's also a good way to meet people, and boost your self image and mood.

- Take up a hobby or join a club. These are good ways to meet people who share your interests.

- Get involved in community activities. Attend town meetings, events at local libraries and other local organizations. Attend local sporting events, fairs, and art shows. Attend and/or participate in local theater groups. These are all great ways to meet people and boost your self image and mood.

- Employment/or self employment. Great way to meet people, boost self image, put money in your wallet, gain experience. Since you have been having trouble finding work as an employee, perhaps you should consider self employment. There are many types to choose from.

>> Lawn mowing/yard work/gardening.
>> House cleaning.
>> Errand/shopping service.
>> Wait for service people, so the home owner/renter doesn't have to take time off from work.
>> House/pet sitting.
>> House chores for the elderly/disabled.
>> Handyman.
>> Tutor.
>> Computer maintenance/repair.
>> Website design.
>> Other website based businesses.
>> Paint houses indoor/outdoor.

There are many other self employment opportunities. Your local libraries will have books with lists and descriptions of them, so look into it.

Now, go and do something, and good luck! :D

One of my friends just replied to me and apologized for the absence because he had extreme anxiety issues and panic attacks. I feel seriously relieved. :D
