I've been feeling isolated ever since I graduated from senior high. I couldn't really go out because my parents won't let me, so, I stayed at home. As time pass by, the more lonely I felt. I didn't have anyone to talk to since both my parents are busy with work, away from home. I tried to fill my loneliness with new hobbies, it distracts me, for a while.

Now my birthday is right around the corner, and I ask my parents if I could spend some time at the beach with my friends before my birthday, and they agreed. Finally, I saw the people I struggled in school with. We had lots of fun but unfortunately we came home late, 6:30 pm to be exact, and I thought my parents would be okay with it since it's almost my birthday. Turns out they we're really angry, despite the updates I sent them.

So now, I don't get to celebrate my birthday. I'll just stay in my room till my birthday ends. I guess there's always next year.

I have overthinking problem and I feel depressed feeling so bad and not sleeping well

Ever since the election results , the issues with my boyfriend and the fact that I lost my job to ai. I feel like I am in a deep dark hole which I can’t get out of. I feel like I will never ever be happy. I’m trying so hard to find the good in the world and deep down. I know that there has to be some if people are willing to fight for others. But it seems so hard to find nowadays. Is there any hope at all for this world? For me? Just feel so joyless

Lately I’ve had an increasingly difficult time trying to feel happy. Lately I want to do nothing but sleep or go on the Internet. I mean, I still go to work and stuff. I just feel like I can never ever be happy. Maybe it’s because of all the things going on in the world. Maybe it’s my relationship issues or maybe it’s issues with work I don’t know, but there’s so many things going on and I feel so trapped like an animal in a cage that will never be free. How can I bring joy back into my life? How can I make myself truly happy?
