I'm the happy, always outgoing and joke making with friends type of 25 year old guy. I always try to be there for everyone, I go out with friends. I have a healthy and nice friend group, I'm never alone.
But, actually, I'm not.
In fact I do all these things in my day to day life. But I’m not happy very often. I often sit at home, not knowing what to do with myself, worried about the future (even though I have a permanent, full-time job after recently earning my bachelor’s degree). Some people would probably give anything to be able to live my life. I live in a good family situation, have good friends, and a job I enjoy (where I don’t make much money, but hey, I have a steady job), so why does my body feel like: "Nope, you have to be sad now! Be sad, cry, feel bad today, feel good while you are with your friends or playing a game but hey, right after, you will feel bad again!"
I always think about trying to do therapy. But then, what will my friends and family think? Yes my friends get to see me when I have a bad day and I say to them "ahh I feel like shit today" or joke about "God damn these winter-depression" and stuff but especially my family would NEVER think I would need therapy. I don't know if they ever saw me truely sad the last 5 or even 10 years.
Also, I tried to find a place for therapy already (like a year ago or something) but so many psychologist told me "Sorry no room for new patients", "You could try to call us again in 6 months to see if we get some space". & Hey I understand it, they can't take everyone but I feel so discouraged to continue trying or try again.
I just don't know what to do, simply thinking about trying to do something in the direction of therapy or getting help DRAINS me. What also adds to my problems is my ADHD. My room is almost all the time a mess, I never let friends come over, I just can't get to clean, my desk for work (I work home office) is always a mess. I'm buying stupid shit from my money I don't even need. I'm happy that I at least care about my appearance. I don't think anyone would ever assume I have feelings like this if they saw or knew me surface level.
One more thing which adds to all of this is the question of my sexuality the last 9-10 months. Oh man, I don't want to get started.
So. How long can I still go like this? Will it stop someday? With a raise in my job? After the next vacation I do later this year? Man I hope.
