Maybe you should have joined your friend who went into the military. They used to have the buddy system, where friends can join together and go through basic training and training schools.
Can't you partake in some free activities? I'm saving money at present so I do cycling and practice yoga via YouTube. E.g. You could join a cycling club and make friends this way. Not all hobbies cost tons of money. If you can figure this out now, then you can get ideas of some inexpensive places to bring your future dates.
You do sound depressed. Maybe you should see someone coz it's definitely not healthy to base your happiness on someone else.
yeah, my priority right now is to get into grad school then I will move out of my parents house and start living my life again. I would do jiu jitsu if it was cheap, but so expensive.
There's some goals!!
Winter is a depressing time if you live in that climate.
You need to look at your diet. I also suggest you take time for gratitude and start looking at all of your blessings, make a list. Your perspective is a big part of why you feel the way that you do.
This is my perspective on some of what you wrote..

You have one friend and in time can make more if you wish. You can see the military friend when he is back home or keep in contact.

There is no reason why you can't meet another girl and take what you learned from that experience with you. If you feel sad then next time change your actions.

You have lots of time to learn, to change, to grow and to shape your life. By the way, I'd say that at almost any age because this is what I believe.
Your perspective is holding you back and all negative thoughts simply have zero purpose other than keeping you were you do not want to be. Think about it.
If you give yourself good food and good thoughts you will see a change eventually.

Cycling club? Most people in cycling clubs are spending a boatload of money on equipment and clothing.
yeah my perspective is my problem. I don't have it that bad compared to some of my other friends. One of my friends worked hard labor and he said he was depressed. He worked from 9-6 monday through friday very blue collar job. Then he decided to go to military route and now he is enjoying life again. Another works 2 jobs and works like 6 days a week barely has anytime to relax.
I feel like if I get into grad school then things will start looking up again, like having goals and being on my own living my life again. I probably should write down a list of goals. I never thought I was depressed since I never had that feeling before, but maybe I am. I hope this will pass.
How did you guys get out of depression?
