I typed out a lengthy post about my current depression situation, but it got eaten by the forum monster. Damn you login, damn you!

I will try to be more succinct. I'm basically going through a really rough patch (can rough patches last years?) lately, and i'm trying to pull myself out of the muck. I'm addicted to the internet and all its myriad diversions. Games, news, music and porn. I've used it for years to medicate my intense loneliness. I haven't had a girlfriend in quite some time, and in that time my personal hygiene has went to hell. I'm fat, and I have body issues like stretch marks. I had enough trouble cultivating a relationship without all these blemishes, it just boggles my mind to think how I can be in a healthy one now. I have dreams, but no real drive.

Still, I am stubborn (or stupid) enough to truly believe that I can find someone out there for me. My learned behaviors stand in my way. I desperately want to stop being a loser, but it is so comfortable to piss my life away with wild abandon.

Well, you have to start taking a better care of yourself. Do some extensive research on dieting (not about how to starve yourself, but how to eat properly day to day), sign up for a membership at a local gym. I'm not suggesting you to boost your self-esteem and increase your confidence, because frankly, it's not gonna improve anything. I'm telling you this based on my own experience - i've been in your shoes for a year now. I graduated from college just this summer, but during my senior year I became depressed, lazy, addicted to porn and other pointless internet "entertainments" (like posting on a dozen of different stupid forums) and lived on sweets and junk food for months in a row. Now i'm paying for the consequences - sweating off in a gym, every day, week after week.
