Feeling lonely and depressed.

You have to be careful with going towards an object, or even food/drinks for comfort. It can lead to an addiction especially if you already struggle with an addiction. My father has been drinking since he was 16, and he's now an alcoholic, "ex-coke" user, coffee 'addict' as he calls himself, and I would say he's into PMO. He has no clue how to live life without having to be dependent on something - I made it a point to never drink, or get into anything I may become dependent on.

There's a difference between being dependent and talking with people; boyfriend, girlfriend, mother, father, pastor, ect. But as a Christian I make it a point to allow my dependency to be on God - not anybody else, that way those relationships can grow and they can be healthy. Even with games, cleaning, drinking, caffeine; it can all become something you're dependent on and it's not healthy for you to allow yourself to make those your "friend."

Not everyone here is Christian, and I certainly won't advise you to do anything you don't want to do. But coming on here and talking to people who are supportive and who will talk to you through this is a pretty good idea. Again, it should be an extra. Like eating spaghetti. Your life has to be the spaghetti, and we're the Parmesan cheese. Don't eat parmesan cheese by itself.. because, well, that's weird.

Good luck!

 

Leaving that pattern is nowhere easy. As for me, unoccupied and somewhat uneducated but I still have a passion in the entertainment industry, but you know, it's the kind that's awesome when it's up and extremely depressing when it's low.

But find out your hobbies and passion. Drawing, driving, jogging, walking out at night or do voluntary work, like +Red Cross or your local community etc.

Watch good movies, play quality video games, read inspiring books, listen to music that makes you feel special. I believe that you'll start connecting with people before you even know it.
