I need help, but I don't know how to ask for it or what I actually need?
Hello first of all,
How do I even begin this properly? I think Corona is a good starting point. I'm currently 22 and was in 10th grade during Corona. Since I'm generally a rather introverted person, I thought the whole online learning thing was quite nice, but looking back, that was the beginning of my dilemma. I like gaming, and because my best friends live far away, my PC was on every day (it is still) so I could just talk to them via Discord. But to move on, because of Corona, I didn't automatically get my intermediate school leaving certificate, and I couldn't go to school anymore, which is why I only got out of the situation with a qualification. For two years, I did nothing and talked to my friends every day via Discord. I've always had a certain amount of depression in general, and my hypothyroidism isn't exactly helping. And all these things became a whirlpool that dragged me down. Last year, I decided to catch up on my intermediate school leaving certificate and failed. I'm trying again now, but I just can't seem to get it right. I'm so scared to take a step forward; I still live at home with my parents. Seeing how everyone is moving forward after Corona scares me. I just can't move on, can't dive into working life. I'm so extremely scared of it; just writing about it makes me break out in a sweat. Everyone is constantly asking me when I'm going to do this or that, and I either give empty words, lie, or nothing at all. Because my friends have made progress, they're also in the middle of life, so to speak, and I feel so worthless; I haven't achieved anything. Are there facilities I can be admitted to just get me back on track? I feel like nothing helps anymore; I need help.

So that would be the answer from ChatGPT:
I'm sorry to hear you're in such a difficult situation. It is important that you take care of your health and well-being. It's courageous to ask for help.
It sounds like you are suffering from depression and are in a phase of stagnation. There are various ways to help you get out of this situation:
1. **Therapy:** It could be very helpful to talk to a therapist to sort your thoughts and feelings and develop management strategies.
Two. **Support groups:** There are groups in which people with similar experiences can exchange and support themselves. This can be very relieving.
3. **Medical treatment:** It might also be useful to talk to a doctor about your depression and sleep problems. Possibly, a drug treatment or an adaptation of your thyroid subfunction is necessary.
4. **Career advice:**If you are unsure what career you want to take, a career advice could help identify your interests and skills.
Five. **day structuring:** It might be helpful to structure your days more consciously and also integrate activities outside the computer, such as walks, sports or creative hobbies.
There are various facilities that can help you with your situation, such as psychiatric clinics, counseling centers or therapy centers. It is important that you get professional support to get out of this difficult phase.
Please remember that you are not alone and there are people who can help you. It is courageous to ask for help and it is a first step in the right direction. If you are in acute need, do not hesitate to call the emergency number 112 or to contact an emergency hotline. You're not alone, and there are ways to get out of this situation.
First of all, you go to the family doctor and let yourself be a psychiatrist and psychotherapist. Depending on the diagnosis, a daily clinic would be possible.
If you don't want to break your life completely, change the daily rhythm. Get up between 5-8 am and go to sleep in the evening. PC stays out, learn for your graduation, take care of an education or a job.
The pandemic and its restrictions have added many. Sensitive people are in a depression, as they lacked the personal contact with friends, others were not online teaching, etc. .
Your problem was/is not the pandemic, but your delicacy. You haven't done anything for two years after a real conclusion. Why not? Don't play the depression card now, and a sign-up underfunction has nothing to do with your behavior.In attempting to retrieve the middle maturity, you failed again.Now you're afraid to fail a second time, which is depressed.
In the meantime, did you change what you were doing in your cuckoo? Is your focus on being online with “friends” or learning? You can only achieve your goal if you focus on it. Otherwise it won't be. It doesn't need a device to drive you, but just enough self-motivation. Your former classmates should be an example.
"My days of the last few months were like a clockwork: about 1 pm standing up, PC on the toilet, washing face, zoking/discord/streams, going out at 3 pm and going to sleep." And you wonder about your failure? Structure your daily routine and learn instead of shocking. Don't understand your parents. My husband and I, as parents, have already brought you to the forefront of everything.
