I hate myself and I feel like a complete loser. I used to think I was somewhat pretty, but now I feel ugly, especially on the inside. I feel disgusting and dirty like I murdered someone. I am taking summer classes because I decided I just had to double major in another useless liberal arts field and it’s hard not to compare myself to people out having adventures and experiencing life. I don’t think it’s that lame to stay in school necessarily but for some reason I feel like I’m horrible for staying at home with my parents with no money or job, crying like a baby every day over how unhappy I am and thinking of myself all the time. I don’t try anything new, and I don’t know what I want to do any of the time, and I burn bridges with everyone and am terrified to see them in public. I can’t even rationalize why I feel disgusting and unworthy and hate myself but I’m unhappy because everything feels pointless and I don’t feel I can connect with anyone. Even interactions with my so-called couple of friends feel shallow and like I have to hide myself. I’m afraid of everything and everyone. I need some hope, I’m only 22 but I feel like an old person, like I’m almost in the grave already. I just want to feel better but I’ve been trying for a while and I don’t know what to do anymore.

I can relate to you. My advice (I don’t know why I should be giving advice, I’m in kind of the same sort your in) is to try your hardest to be yourself around others. Which may help you to connect to people. Find people with similar interests and chill with them.
As for your feelings of disgust and unworthiness of yourself, find something about yourself that you feel is better than other people. Maybe you have an undiscovered talent, or something you can do no one else can. Singing? Art? Find something that takes your mind off the depression (hopefully not drugs, except Marijuana though, helped for me for a bit). I hope things start looking up. Happiness is of reach somewhere, finding it is the issue. Good luck
