Ex-NEET/Hiki general thread, how long has it been since you got out of it? What are you working on right now? Do you feel like going back to that life sometimes?
I got a job and started going outside 6 years ago, after 2 years of being isolated completely, sometimes I feel tempted of just staying at home playing videogames all day, or to stay in bed doing absolutely nothing, I am still depressed, recently something bad happened, and I felt the need of going back to those habits, close my social media and be a full time anon again.
An important part of my recovery was the people around me, and volunteering at hospitals and hostels for the bed, working still feels kind of weird though.
Now I work as a programmer and web designer, not the best job for someone like me, but it's what I learned to do.
It's hard, but like an anon told me here, if I got out of that mentality once, I can do it again, and so can you.

>>751Study at college then uboanon, I used to sit in the community college library for hours and made it a rule that I couldn't have my laptop or phone out and could only listen to music while reading my textbooks and working on them.

>>763I ended up passing anyways, I think the problem is not so much about "studying" but more about going to classes.
New semester tho let's hope it goes better! Tho from when I first posted to now I just lost every friend except for one lol. Getting to talk to people at uni again will totally be super nerve wrecking and make me feel like a turbo spergy.

Woke up early because of jet lag, wired off caffeine from two cups of strong black tea, and came across music I made some 4 years ago back when I was still NEET and had all day every day to sink into anything I wanted. Sometimes I really miss those times, although I think it's mainly nostalgia and I'm sure overall my life is better now.

How do you guys manage the feeling of wanting to withdraw from everything? Currently the only thing I have to cope is the idea that I'll quit after a year at my job and take a year or two off, but obviously that isn't sustainable forever. I feel like eventually I'm going to snap, it's like holding in a sneeze.
