Sounds like my old room mates cousin. He was a drug addict, though.


Tyler looks like a homeless guy and acts like a monkey. I often refer to him as "the cave beast" because with his poor hygiene, scraggly beard, torn clothes and out of control behavior, it's like having a Neanderthal in the modern age.

Feel like crying, I'm just so unhappy with life and with my job and want to find a new job and spent two hours browsing job finding sites just to not apply for anything and I just really really hate where I am in life.

Does it ever get better?

It gets better, Kanny. But it’s ok to let frustration out because the process has its ups and down. But hang in there. Things do improve in time.

I have no idea what the hell I am gonna do all summer. I passed all my classes so yay on that. But almost everything is still shutdown and because my parents are pushing 60 and my mom has a fragile immune system I can't even go home for the break. I am trapped here :\

Spend the leisure time reading, or gaming, or just recharging by resting and watching some shows you couldn't while studying. It's not perfect but it helps pass the time until your online class starts.

Yeah that's certainly better than nothing at least and it wouldn't kill me to give that a shot. I just feel like I have been a shut in these past two months.

Look mate, you're always going to find reasons NOT to have an adventure. But if you really want to not be trapped, you can make that happen.

Understandable. We’ve all been there. Just be patient. It’ll pass eventually. Approach it from the very responsible angle of not wanting to put your loved ones in danger.

Personal suggestion as it has helped me: if you can do this and safely maintain distance, go to a local park, enjoy the sun and go for a walk. One hour a day, when permitted, helps deal with the effects of being cooped up.
