This is the first time in 12 years I’ve lived alone. Any advice on how to handle the soul crushing emptiness?

It’s really really tough to get through this. If no one around to talk to who could understand us. Maybe go out once in a while meet some people in shops or some place to feel like living.

Yea that’s good. Maybe apply some jobs so that u will be talking to some folks. And gradually u will understand better about what job u can get and will suit u.

Hi AKendrick,
I have the same problem, i live alone and im in contact with my parents at least, thinking about job but not successful so far
Maybe short-time job could help with human contact and your schedule?

Hey man what kind of jobs are you thinking of?
In my case I try almost all possible jobs here for maximum 4 hours per day. I wouldnt handle more and Im afraid after 3 years of nothing it will be tough as well 
I just have a little problem: i smoke my electronical cigarette too often, so i considered home office, some calls maybe, not offering products. But i also need movement but i wasnt successful even with tidyng, i dont know what kind of job is less than tyding, maybe i should try higher 
Probably will use this transitional employment program that my local mental health center offers. After that idk …

Ask them if they have assisted employment
Just an idea
Because it’s hard to work while hearing voices
Yea I love vaping but just because I’m bored lol it’s gonna be tough for me also… Possibly… but I think it’s healthier than sitting in the house all day with no money lol

Nice to meet you too @ThePoet
Well my hobbies: nothing or phone, computer, mostly browsing internet, music, then i try to live normally so grocery and tyding sometimes and you? You can suggest something what to do i also buy a lot of stuff online - just small stuff except my new dishwasher cause im lazy. I dont like typical stone shops cause can choose exactly what I want without pressure with the lowest price and more less with quality.
