The best part of my life is over

[Argamemnon]

I can barely hold down a job, I'm tired all the time. I've been suffering from anxiety all my life, but when I was younger at least I wasn't depressed. I feel like the best part of my life is over. Unlike most other people I have very little positive memories in life.

It seems that I will be depressed till I die. I just wonder how I can make the most of my lonely and pathetic existence. What can you do to live a happier life, if you're socially inept? Should I study or should I travel? All I do is surf the net, I know I should "get a life", but I have no idea how that's possible without friends and without a partner.

I'm really sorry about how you feel. I sometimes feel like that too.

When I'm depressed, I just go play chess against the computer. I assume chess also helps you in Social situations since it gets you into the habit of thinking about all the possible things that could happen when you do something. I guess this can either be a good thing or a bad thing, since it might also increase your paranoia about what the other person is thinking.

Go to CBT group therapy, there you can treat your SA and make new friends. From those friends, meet their friends and so on till you find a gal you wanna date Meds help too such as Paxil and Klonopin and/or Adderall XR

Guys i really feel the same thing as you but we need to find a solution for this problem, i have been very depressed when i was younger but now i feel better, i just stopped thinking about being anxious when i meet people, i try to think about other things like reading books, writing stories, watching funny videos, my best friend is my mother she is just wonderful, i spend the whole day with her, we go shopping together, really guys if you are looking for real friends your moms could be your best friends
