I feel like I'm in prison?

Question

So, in high school I felt like I was in prison. I sat alone most of the time and I was in general just unhappy so I graduated early and tried to join americorps and was fired. I tried places in my town and it's working so far. I stay in the house all day and I rarely go out. My parents made me miserable in high school. I felt like everything was basically controlled by my parents and I never got to choose my own thing for myself. Now I just sit at home everyday depressed. I can't move out and my only income is giving plasma. I'm just extremely sad. I just want to be happy again but I feel like I'm just trapped in the house and I'll never have a job, be out and be happy. I feel like I'll never be a normal person. I forgot what real happiness is like. I feel like I'm a slave to my parents. When will I be able to get out and actually do stuff?  I miss being a little kid because that was when I had friends and I could actually go out and do stuff. I want to be a little kid again. I used to be so happy.

If you read through your question again, you will notice that it is all about your "feelings."  I feel this, and I feel that.  Feelings are not a bad thing and it is good that you are in touch with your true feelings, as a lot of ppl hide their true feelings.  But there is such a thing as acting on your thoughts, rather than acting on your feelings.  Do anything to get yourself out of the house.  Do volunteer work.  It may lead to a job, or it may lead you to new friends.  Just do something and do not allow yourself to "stagnate!"  Nothing good can come from your stagnation, but there is always hope when there is action.  So go out there and you will not have to find a job.  The job will find you.  I wish you well.

you might have a chemical imbalance making you depressed, maybe you should go see a psychiatrist and get on some meds
