I cant cope with life after graduating

[FireFox]

I just can't cope with life after graduating university. Being a student I had an identity, a purpose , a routine and I had a lot do.

I just fell apart after graduating. When i was at university I motivated now when I graduated just lost all motivation to do anything.

I don't talk to people anymore because everyone either has a job or doing a masters course. Its is hard to build relationships with people as everyone talks about their job and life outside of their job. Being unemployed everyday is the same.
Being a student was all I ever knew I fear I never know anything else. I cant cope anymore

I kinda felt the same way when I retired, because my work/teckkie self was my whole identity. Then 2020 and the pandemic lockdowns came along and I basically shut down and stopped seeing/talking to people. Well at least it's Spring again and I've got gardening to distract me.

I fell off the wagon after graduating too. Life just feels so meaningless without the deadlines and the class schedules. You're forced to find your life purpose and stick with it until you die. It's so directionless. I felt like a work horse that suddenly thrown in the middle of nowhere.

But I wouldnt deny that after all that, I never had the desire to work either way. I was already suicidal. The NEET stigma just made things worse.

That used to happen a lot to me, dear.
Even worse, due to the fact that most of my ex classmates at school and university got their degrees way sooner than me. I just felt a loser.

Then, I finally stopped comparing myself to others and that's when I started feeling better.

I am me. I have lots of flaws but I do things at my own pace and sometimes I get good results.

My point is, things can really suck but, they can also get better.

Just don't give up until you really give up! It ain't over till it's over, after all.

Hugs and love,

Matt

I graduated last year and the whole no motivation thing I get probably exacerbated by pandemic and and dwindled opportunities in general.
I don't talk to anyone but seeing everyone else I know moving on and up really just makes it clearer how much I'm lacking I always feel like I'm incapable of anything. Though I've always known that but at least uni was a good 3 year distraction. And since I do nothing all day since graduating I'm reminded starkly everyday of my own inadequacies and how pointless it all feels to continue.

I feel this so deeply...I don't even know what to do with my life anymore now that I've graduated.
