FEELING DEPRESSED AND EMPTY

That's a rough story, but its not hopeless. Hear me out, you gotta start taking steps towards your solution. Don't focus on how you'll get there, just take a step forward. I have crawled out of dark holes that would crush your soul to hear about, but I did one little step at a time.

Things aren't working in your field? Go pursue another field. Get a job at starbucks. Start writing a book. Do anything you can to move yourself out of the negative space you are in now into something, anything, more postive. From there, take another step.

Not having luck with girls? Don't give up. Practice socializing. Keep up to date with things that interest most people. Practice conversations. Pick up a few random hobbies that you like. Go and meet people who also like that hobby. Don't make it about girls, think of it like training yourself in social skills. Go to toastmasters or other public speaking groups. Go to book clubs. Take steps forward.

Don't like your physical shape? Learn to eat better, exercise.. even if it is just a little bit at first. Just keep at it.

It'll take time, maybe even years, but you can learn the skills and build the character in yourself to come out of this. Just don't give up. Keep moving forward. One step at a time.

 

Do you mean they don't even take freshers if you offer to work a year for free?
As a trainee maybe?

I started to work for free at the beginning.
After the first month they came to me and wanted to pay me.

They just don't take people they do not know...
When they know you for a while they move a step towards you.

That is usually the way you get started...

Another thing that might work:
Make a trip. Take your bagpack and visit a country that you always wanted to visit.
One of my friends went to Europe like this.
He wanted to find a job in network technology.
He travelled through five countries with a bagpack and ended up for the interviews at Google Zürich.

After two weeks of interviews (they are hard and long) they said that he is not the right person.
So he went on to Poland and at Google Krakow he applied again.
He said that Google Zürich had already made all the interviews with him.
So Google Krakow asked at Zürich and they confirmed and it was enough for the Polish market.

Today, after five years at Google he works at California in the Google central, where he earns a lot of money.

 

The strongest piece of advice I can give is to stop being so negative! I have been told this a thousand times by a hundred different people, and I understand it's frustrating to hear when you are at a low and feeling depressed. People who are depressed can't just stop being negative - it doesn't work that way, I get it. However, you were offered some great advice/support. At a minimum, try to hear what they're saying instead of finding ways to dismiss it. You have to stop feeling sorry for yourself and start going through the difficulties of life! Like @exchronos said, you have to start by taking one step forward. Things are not going to get better if you don't believe you have the power to change them.

If you start taking the right steps now, you will one day look back at yourself and see how much you've grown. Best of luck getting to 21 days. Hang in there.

 

Watch this till the end please.

 

@mindengineer : you can find a job which is nonrelated to your major. anyjob just to make money. it's not necessary engineer jobs. i'm sure u can find one, even with low pay, just enough money to eat.

 

Nice Video.

Pick a hobby. ask yourself what interests you most and start from there. What it will do is that it will divert you from all the negative things you're doing.

Discipline in one's self can be very hard. Start with small goals like waking up on time or jogging for an hour. If you're achieving those small goals it will slowly develop your self respect. Then go for more bigger goals gradually.

Everyone has the capacity to do it. you can do it. Start small.
