I'm on 40+ Days of NoFap, but I've been going through some hard depression times lately
I've just come to a new country & right now my college is closed till Feb. On top of that I just can't Vibe with my college friends who are all from a different but common country(& so they have their own group of friends) & I usually don't get involved or even If I do get involved I really do not enjoy my time(Infact it's one of the reasons I get depressed)
My family is also not here with me right now to give me some physical support.
This is new and a really tough time for me.
Sometimes I just wanna cry alone in a room. It's gets really tough when you want to do a lot of things in this new country but you don't have anyone to share that with
I don't know how I am gonna survive until my college restarts.

I am in Philippines, Davao, so please if any of you readers are from out here please can we meet and talk
 
I'm sorry to hear :emoji_frowning2: Depression sucks. I really hope you can find some local support! :emoji_heart::emoji_heart::emoji_heart: Are there any groups nearby you could join? Like recreation groups, church/faith group, clubs?
And congrats of 40 days, that's great!

Sounds like feeling lonely and disconnected! Perhaps overwhelmed . Your acknowledge your feelings that is good ! You been doing your studies , even though time off that is good ! Feel good that your surviving , feel good that your sharing this, feel good that your trying to improve ! Feel good for you !

Thanks man but yea this shit is hard
 
Here is a video by Jordan Peterson that talks about the fact that the fool is the precursor to the savior, meaning if you aren't willing to be a fool or seen as awkward/stupid/uninteresting you won't be able to become the one you wish to become. Don't be afraid of being thought of as awkward at first in your interactions with people but have courage and humility and start engaging with people. Plus don't think that they are malevolent folks; people in general love to help those who are suffering from loneliness. Swallow up your pride and tell your colleges your situation and ask them if you can work together to hang out enjoyably together with them, just like all of us used to do in kindergarten.
