i'm a university student that's dropping out because i am incredibly close to killing myself. most days i dont have energy to do anything except passive media consumption. i barely eat and despite it being my only interest I can hardly bring myself to read. If I do it is slow and doesn't feel like I've truly comprehended it.
I grew up around extremely wealthy people, went to school with them, embraced their uberconservative culture became a misogynist fuarrrkboy pos, despite not really being that well off by comparison. I think they knew i was larping. Once I left that environment I realized I'm not really a person, I have no real personality, all I really did was read theory.
I am not really living at all, just passing time until I rot away. I only feel 'alive' if I'm drunk or high but drugs have taken a huge toll on me mentally and physically recently. Also I'm broke now. I used to be on medication but quit. How do I go on living? I miss being able to wake up in the morning and go about my day normally, even if I've always been depressed I at least used to be able to pretend to be normal. How do people operate in this hellscape without giving into despair?
