I am 18 years old. I got my license suspended back in August. As a result I quit my job and cancelled my fall classes at my community college as I wouldnt have had a ride to school or work everyday. I only have 1 friend and she is still in highschool so I couldnt as her for a ride and my parents both work fulltime jobs. Now Ive spent nearly the last 4 months in my room. A normal day is wake up, eat, workout, shower, eat, sleep and then do it again. I spend my free time watching tv or browsing the web. I hardly ever leave my house on account of my lack of friends. I used to be depressed, which is kind of expected when one's life is taken from him, but i can tell im not depressed anymore. I'm just kinda lonely here alone. And even when i tried to reconnect with old highschool friends my parents get mad at me for going out or they judge my friends when i bring them over. And if i complain about being lonely they get mad. Like i dont know what they want from me. Ive gone out to look for another job and gotten an offer but then my mom tells me she doesnt wanna drive me to work so i turned the offer down and then get yelled at for not supporting myself. I dont know what to do anymore. I'm losing my social skills being locked in my room all day everyday but its like theres no way out until I get my license back in february. I guess i just wanna know if its normal for me to feel like im trapped. what can i do for myself?

    Say fuck all to your parents, meet up with your High school friends, and go to a shit ton of rock shows (well I mean, go to places that people like you would be, I like indie garage music, so I go to rock shows and meet people) with the re-united High school friend you now have :D

    It's totally normal. When I graduated highschool a semester early, I was the same way. It's awesome that you work out because a lot of people don't even do that. When I started going to college it all changed. I wouldn't worry too much about the lack of friends because you'll meet a lot of people when you do start going to college or working. February may seem a long time from now, but it's seriously around the corner.

    You should continue to reconnect with old highschool friends, go over to their place instead of yours and disregard your parents judgements, they are your friends, not theirs. Don't let their judgement cause you to lose your social skills and a life outside of your home. Whether of not you go to the park or for a walk around the block, just try to get out of the house more often so you aren't so cramped up in your house. Start looking for jobs nearby your house. It could be helpful. I wish you goodluck(:

    At least you work out, that is good. Maybe you could ask around your neighborhood and start mowing lawns or something? Little odd jobs would at least help a little bit.

    Depression is a long slippery ride down to oblivion.

    Sounds to me like you are starting down it.
