I’m currently 23, almost 24, and haven’t had a social life in around 6 years. Ever since covid hit I completely isolated myself, spending every day on the computer, studying and playing games. After covid, I had to go back to uni but never made any attempts to connect with anyone. I always felt I didn’t belong there so I just studied, went home and played videogames.
Now I’ve graduated a year ago and have never been so depressed and hopeless as I am right now. I go to work each day and still play videogames each evening. On the weekends, I just stay at home on my phone all day because I don’t know what else to do. I keep regretting that I didn’t attempt to become more social or quit my studies since I didn’t enjoy it anyway.
Now I just feel completely stuck. Im on a waitlist for a psychologist but it keeps getting worse and I feel like I’ll never get over this. Everything just feels way too hard right now.
