Mental health, Anxiety and Lonely: Lonely, so lonely

Lonely, so lonely

By Anonymous - 05/06/2021 11:59 - China - Shanghai

Today, I realised that my social anxiety, fear of people's judgment, social isolation, you name it, have got so bad that I literally have no interests. It got to such a point that I even have nothing to search up in the internet, so I just stare at an empty browser page wondering what should I do with my life. FML

Today, I realized that my social life is so dead the only thing I do that involves other people is read FML. I don't even participate in the comments. FML

Today, I realized I've been sinking into a deep depression, ignoring all my friends, and don't know what to do with my life anymore. This is all because I gave up Facebook for lent. FML

I'm down

By I made it...at what cost - 28/05/2023 23:00 - United States

Today, and since I graduated, I've realized how truly lonely I am. I haven't seen my one best friend in almost a year and I only leave the house to go to work. Not to mention I no longer enjoy things I used to love doing, making me even more sad and bored. Social anxiety and depression will do that to you. FML

Today, I realized that my YouTube watch history, which is mostly comprised of audio ASMRs dealing with loneliness and other anxiety and depression issues, has turned into one big testament to how utterly lonely I am in the real world, and that I probably will remain like this for the rest of my life.

Today, I realized I rarely go outside anymore due to hyperacusis, social anxiety, depression, and sensory issues. I'm also afraid to tell my family and friends about my problems, because they don't understand how bad it really is. Looks like I'm doomed to be depressed and alone my whole life. FML

No friends, no problems

By Anonymous - 10/05/2023 17:00 - Ireland - Waterford

Today, I realized the only things I do are work and sleep. My only friends are coworkers who I make small talk with. I live alone so I’ve got nothing there either. I can’t remember the last time I felt happy, or spoke to someone. Everyday is just a blur. I have no hobbies, no goals. Getting older is so fun, right? FML

Today, my social anxiety is so bad that the mere thought of talking to anyone, even someone who isn't even real, makes me feel ill and uneasy. FML

What does it all mean?

By Anonymous - 20/10/2022 16:00

Today, I once again realized that I have no idea what I am supposed to do in this life, and don't know what to do with myself. I just live because that's the easiest thing to do, and try to entertain myself while searching for meaning. The meaning to my life; what I should pursue. I've been searching for a long time. FML

Hanging on in quiet desperation

Today, time is going by way too fast and I don't know what I'm even doing with my life anymore. I realized all I do is sit in bed all day and mope. I'm such a boring person. How did this happen? FML

try videos games to maybe get you out of your rut. they're easy to get with no social interaction needed, from there maybe move onto a non competitive online game. also if your anxiety is far along I seriously suggest finding a therapist or help groups. you seem to be comfortable enough to post on here, so finding an anonymous support group would be another good first step. also keep in mind because of covid lots of therapy sessions are currently online only, that may help you.

I would suggest seeking professional counseling. There is a lot of life to live, and I just know that you have a lot to offer this world

I don't really see how social anxiety can keep you from having interests. Did you have any dark secret hobbies you're afraid to share? With all the things in the world, I can't believe you can't find one. And again, what does it have to do with social anxiety?

Anxiety and depression quite often can appear hand in hand. OP’s stated symptoms (having no interest in anything) sound like depression, and the anxiety takes over when social situations or leaving the house come up. I hope OP seeks psychological/medical help as there are a lot of options for treatment out there. No one needs to continue suffering from either depression or anxiety needlessly.
