i've sorta felt empty lately. i constantly feel this urge to self-medicate somehow, but i don't have access to weed and i refuse to drink alcohol because hangovers give me anxiety attacks. i don't know how to deal with this feeling of emptiness, since most of the time i just don't feel like interacting with anyone and i don't have much to do with the spare time i have, and i have a lot of it.

    thanks for the subreddit suggestion, i'll take a look

    i dunno, i have access to social interaction but most of the time i don't feel like talking to people or playing games with them in voice chat. i have played mmos a lot in the past but they were mostly just time sinks, not social things.

      you're really not alone! maybe it's related to the covid situation? so many people i know have been feeling anxious or depressed since march or so. maybe some talk therapy could help, even if you aren't depressed/anxious, everyone can benefit from a little therapy sometimes _

        it's definitely related to how the world is. i was in therapy for three years a bit ago and it helped a lot. i should talk to a close friend about my situation so i get some face to face interaction. thank you <3
