Thank you for the advice. Point 1 is so difficult. In fact it's why I don't tell anyone how I feel anymore (in real life, not the internet). It's so easy for someone to say yea but what about that kid in Africa who doesn't even have enough water for today. I don't know what to say to that.

I am trying 3 right now. It does help to get you through the day, that is for sure.

On point 4, my opinion is so weak and changeable that I'm not even sure what I want. Perhaps I need to build confidence first somehow.

At the same time though I'm sure there are people who are a lot better off then you who still have rough times and feel down. The truth is that everyone has those times, and just because your not in the worst situation (you can always find someone in a worse situation) doesn't mean that it's not ok to feel how you feel.

As far as finding what you want it is a difficult question to answer. A lot of people struggle with it. My suggestion would be try a lot of new things that you think you may be interested in. Take some time to be a little selfish and figure out things about yourself you may not have know. It can be really easy to lose sight of who you are as a person when there is so much going around us so sometimes we just need to take some time and focus on us.
