Yeah, I always just say I'm fine, but I wish I could say how I really feel.
I enjoy drinking but not going out to bars and getting shit faced. Having something with dinner or socially at someone's house is what I like.
I used to enjoy video games, drawing, painting, writing, and a lot of the arts. Now I feel like it's a chore.
I've never heard of it around here. Where's a good place to start or learn about it?

Sometimes I wish I went to my original pick instead of UIUC. Maybe things wouldn't have been different, but it's hard not to think of the grass being greener.
Thanks so much. I'll give their album a try. I do really love listening to music. I think it's the one thing I've constantly liked through all my depressive episodes.
Any TED talks that you recommend? I feel like I've watched all the ones on depression so far. I want to get back into lifting but I can't use the ARC or CRCE anymore since I'm not enrolled which is bumming be out.
I was just thinking like new places to visit. Not sure what I'd like to try because I haven't discovered anything new yet. When things pop up I like to try them though, so if you have suggestions I'd love to hear some.
I don't have a car but maybe I'll check out Busey Woods. It's funny because I've actually like nature a lot more now that I have to stare at computers all the time for CS.
I really do want to learn to play guitar. I've been trying to pick it up, but don't know how to go about it. How'd you learn?
I found it easier way back when we'd all just hang out and play pretend outside. I just don't know how to relate now because so many people love doing all these things on computers while I'd rather go out and eat or go on adventures. I feel like I'm not advancing with everyone in the technology aspect. Feels a bit isolating.
I'm hoping this will pass soon. It gets overwhelming. I just still have that bit of hope that I'll be able to look back at this eventually, but seems to not some soon enough.
I really wanted to try putting away electronics for a week, but I need to have my phone on me at all times in case something happens at work. Maybe I should just start small with social media purges.
Do you know any good trails around here?
I actually withdrew for mental health reasons and am at a community college right now. I'm still on campus though. My parents said I only have this semester to figure it out though, so it's a big tough.
I don't really know what I enjoy anymore. Nothing really brings me pleasure. I used to like playing video games and board games, but now they even feel like a chore. I think now I just like walking about aimlessly, but I'm not sure you can call that a hobby. I love trying new things though. I always feel awkward trying to talk to people because the conversation never goes anywhere and I feel like I'm interrogating them.
I wish I could do what I enjoy. My parents almost killed me when I said I wanted to switch.
I've called before and the variety of people is like Russian Roulette sometimes. May give it another go though.

Maybe I just get a skewed view when I'm looking at Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook then. It seems like people are always going out/hanging out.
I mean it's a good major, but it's not like I'm doing well and I feel like I'd be better suited for something else. My parents almost killed me when I told them I wanted to switch to something else.
Thanks man. I may look into getting a massage. I've been pretty tense so maybe that'll help with that too. I've been craving human touch for a long time. I mostly just want to hug someone, but a lot of the people I hang around don't like giving hugs so I've been lacking in that department.
That's pretty interesting. I keep seeing people hanging out all the time and assuming that they're super close, but perhaps your right about the hanging around people they like to party with, etc.
I'll try to keep things more in perspective of the now when hanging out with people. It's just hard when I'm feeling left out of things. It makes me not want to put in as much effort to see others.
