Then I start wondering - what is all of this for? and what's the entire point of even living?
Talking to people does not help either (as it is, I'm not very social and then to add to that, most friends would have a general response along the lines of "oh wow...look at you and your problems", talking to parents is worse - they'll tell me to pray and that's how life is - which I refuse to accept).
Distractions are the only thing that has helped me yet - I distract myself with almost anything I can find - games, cars, tv shows, movies - just so I don't think of anything else.
I write this because, as the author mentions "Make something" - the will to make something disappears. Which is why distractions help.
