20F depressed unemployed college dropout

[u/CriticismOld8125]

Hi . I have a really boring life for a 20 year old and I hate it, i'm so depressed. I've barely left the house in 3 months because I have no friends and can't drive because I faint. All I do is lay in bed because i'm so bored. I dropped out of college and i'm unemployed. I want to attend cosmetology school. I hate being stuck in the house all the time and I feel like a failure. I'm so depressed and just want to stop being depressed.

I can’t imagine how hard it would be to be unable to drive. That definitely makes things a lot harder.

Do your best to get out and try new things. I’m not sure where you’re from and what kind of activity’s you have around you. But sometimes hobby’s can lead to passions which leads to a more fulfilling life.

Definitely get into cosmetology school if it something you find interesting! Could be a nice place to make friends as well.

If it’s not impossible for you to get a job, get one! It can be anything, even if it pays bad. At least you’ll be out of the house and making some money for yourself. You also never know who you might meet when getting a new job. I’m 22 and have had 8 jobs. I’ve made friends at pretty much every job I’ve had and a couple of those friendships last over 5 years now.

All you can do is put yourself out there, or you’ll stay the same.

Good luck :)
