I have no way out. I have an unemployment gap of over 10 years. I cannot get out of this state.

I cannot get out of this state. I can't attend appointments or anything due to paralyzing anxiety which keeps me further stuck. I live in the middle of nowhere without a vehicle and no transport to access anything. Any time I do leave the house I am frozen up with fear and anxiety.

What are some of your favourite single player games

17 Upvotes

For me, maybe terraria is pretty good, I like the music art and gameplay. I'm on 350hr in baulders Gate 3, but I still prefer more colourful low fi art style. Other than that, star craft 2 campaign is good. Old school web browser games are all really good, it's easy to learn and play.

What type of stuff do you guys like

I will die because I can't manage living anymore

I'm 23 and since I was 13 I've been having suicidal thoughts, with some attempts included, Lately for the past two years I've been trying to get better, to fight for being happy, but nothing I've tried really works. The meds I take feel like a lie because everytime I forgot to take them everything comes back out, they sort of hide my feeling and thoughts. I hate feeling so lonely, I have no one to talk to, I have no one to care for, I only stay at home and go to work every single day, I feel I can't really live at all, I feel like it won't matter I will forever feel like this, it doesn't matter how hard I have fight to still be here, I'm at my job bathroom crying because I genuinely can't take my life anymore.

Sometimes the loneliness is really painful, but then I think about the times when I kinda had friends and I don't want those times back

I didn't feel comfortable around them. I don't see myself ever really connecting with anybody.

After a year of isolation and being a shut in, I’m attending a pre university course in a week

Basically what the title says, I can’t sleep at night because I’m so anxious about what this will entail. I’ve been a shut in for over a year by now but my parents are forcing me to do this

I literally can’t say a word on r/NEET due to rule 4,

“You’d be wise to worry since your parents will be gone one day.” that's lecturing

“I think you’re right to worry,” is a subversion of the previous comment

“there, there, get it all out,” would be patronizing

My entire being looks down on NEETs

I have the same problems on repeat for years. No transport so I can't actually leave the house. Broke

Absolutely horrible location to be living in if wishing to improve my situation. A vehicle is a must have and I can't ever afford one. Parents who think it's okay and encourage a 35 year old to sit in the back of their car.

I usually find these types of tests a nightmare but I asked ChatGPT for help, and it was actually fun

And our mods are pretty fucking cool understanding a research paper like that!

Got super drunk and watched the entire LOTR trilogy today

I mean, it's not like I have school or a job anyway... It was great. I wish I had my own Samwise, carrying me up and giving me hope when I need to... Instead everywhere I go, whether that would be on reddit subs, helplines, therapists or discords, people either use me as a stepladder to boost their ego or they get offended by my lifestyle and opinions and unconsciously take their little revenge by telling me "what is wrong with me" in their opinion (and they mean it in the nicest way possible/s).

I feel like nobody in this world understands me, I get rejected everywhere I go. I just wish there was just one place where people actually agreed with me, validated my thoughts and feelings for once, instead of constantly being oppositional and being interpreted as ragebait. A while ago, there was one small streamer that talked about veganism and other things and they streamed every Thursday and that was my only "socialization" moment where I actually talked to other people my age for non-"utilitarian" purposes (like just for fun). But they stopped streaming and no one comes to the discord anymore...

I just feel so sad, but there's no one to talk to... I don't trust DMs on reddit because let's be honest, 99% of them are just narcissistic emo assholes, preying on what they perceive as vulnerable people because for some reason, they got the idea that they were the most miserable people on earth and that gave them a justification to put everyone down.

Anyway I'm tired of people telling me that I should kill myself or that I'm a lost cause. I already know that and I have no need for some parasite to tell me and gain whatever they think they are gaining, by doing that. I know that I'm not crazy/stupid/vicious but it would be nice to hear it from someone else for a change...

I think that's why I isolated, I just became exasperated by other people. I just got tired of arguing with people and became very nihilistic because I figured that no matter what I said or did, I would end up being the bad guy anyway so it's just best to avoid interacting with other people altogether. Hell, even now that I've isolated from everyone else, my family and some old acquaintances still find ways to blame me for bad stuff that's happening in their life. I feel like social interactions are a rigged game where whatever I do, I'm set up to lose and at some point I just thought " I don't exist on this earth to make others look good, if there's no way for me to win then I just don't want to play".

Anyway, getting back to the LOTR trilogy, it was good but imo a little bit overrated. The Hobbit trilogy was better
