I realise this is a slightly strange thing to ask, on a forum like this, but y'all have a general idea of my... Life experience, and background, by now, and some of you seem to have somewhat decent ideas on these sorts of things, so...
I just dropped out of my courses for this semester. It's after Census date, so I'll have to pay for them (student loans), but it was the last day to withdraw without Academic Failure, so I'll get a couple of big fat "W"'s on my transcript, but it won't tank my GPA any further. So that's something, I guess.
As for why... Look, I was fucking failing, anyway. The Uni had set us students up with the impression that we could do the courses effectively online, for the semester (which would make sense, given lockdowns in several Aus states, including the one bordering the cities my Uni is in), but that most definitely has not proved to be the case.
For the whole semester so far (9 weeks, I believe?), I've been stuck in the wrong fucking state, with shitty internet, a shitty living situation, unable to get back to my classes in person. I've had innumerate other things to deal with, including the fact that my grandfather does not remember who I am, and could well die any day, now, and yet I cannot see him because I am a fucking unvaccinated "plague rat", still...
So yeah. I "dropped out". For now. Until November.
Shit in my life, including this but also far beyond and all around it, is completely and utterly fucked. Sincerely and seriously, I am pretty much at the point of just... Ending it. So yeah.
I'm broke, unemployed, single, unfit, slightly overweight, fairly average looking (but tall, and not hideous), I have a few debts, I'm estranged from most of my friends, I'm extremely lonely, I have very little capital, and few qualifications to speak of (relatively speaking. Let's go with "for my age"). I'm horrifically depressed (anyone know what it's like to find the thought of suicide "calming"..? I've been at that point for nearly a fucking decade), terribly anxious, and probably have ADHD, amongst other things. I'm a fucking wreck. I have cripplingly low self-confidence and self-esteem (more confidence than esteem, though), so I have no trouble telling you that I am a useless piece of shit who probably deserves all the pain, humiliation and failure I have experienced in life. Though I probably don't deserve any more shit, because life has... Already punished me enough, I would have thought.
So, then... What should I do? Where should I start? Hypothetically, if I don't off myself, between now and November, what the fuck should I do?
My country is fucked, remember. Things here are really quite bad. But not where I'm currently stuck (relatively speaking), and not where the Uni is, so much, either (woo for doxxing myself, more and more)...
I genuinely don't think I'm "intellectually" stupid. I'm just an immature, unmotivated, selfish, arrogant jerk, who can't set my mind to things, and gives up far too easily. Because I'm weak. Because I... Don't care enough? I'm not sure.
But anyway, fire away (if you want)! You can go with "just lift, bruh", or "see a therapist, bruh", or "Get your T levels checked, you sound like a weak woman!", if you want, but quite honestly, I would prefer something a bit more in-depth than that.
I'm even open to hearing your religious suggestions, if you really want to go there. Not Buddhism or Islam, though. Fuck that.
Go ahead, the floor's yours. I can't imagine I'll be killing myself for AT LEAST a few more days, so you have at least that long to... Give me some sort of "goal", that I don't already have, or whatever, to try and live for, lol...
Check my username. I'm not one of you guys, but I'll give you my honest advice anyway.
First off is get in shape. If you're a young adult male, it takes minimal amounts of effort to be in reasonable shape, you don't have to be a gym rat. Just go jogging for 15 minutes every morning then do 20 situps/pushups. Try to do a little more every day. You'll be Saitama in no time.
Religion: I've come to believe that the major benefit from religion (aside from community) comes from the meditative aspect of it. Meditation really helps settle your thoughts and there's huge amounts of scientific evidence to support it. There are free apps and videos to get started.
Vaxxmaxxing: just do it. It's sucks what your government is doing, but it really isn't worth all the headache. I am vaxxed, my partner is vaxxed, my parents are, my sister's family are and none of us had any issue whatsoever. The vast majority of liberals are vaxxed so at least we are putting our money where our mouths are on this issue.
If you're tall, white, male, healthy and reasonably non-autistic, the liberal position is you are living on easy mode. You have tons of advantages in life that other people don't have due to immutable and unearned characteristics. I'm saying this not to berate you but to to say that you'll make it... once you get your act together. Suicide should not even be in your cards.
And that's why you people are best described as women's little purse puppies, brought out to bark at whoever challenges their extremely obvious privilege.
"immutable and unearned"
peak apex fallacy fuck, thinking being indigenous to a nation is "unearned easiness"
It's earned by your ancestors but not by you. Do you choose who you are born to?
