I'm a 26 year old male. I live with my mother and stepfather in the finished basement. I feel very comfortable there. I have a large tv with lots of electronics/toys. I have no job. I have had many jobs. I am going on my 7th year of college in a 4 year program in which I am failing. All I do is sleep, play video games, masturbate, and watch movies. Occasionally I'll party and drink and smoke weed and do drugs with my friends. I know drugs/alcohol aren't the problem because I have stopped doing those things to factor them out of why I can't be a normal, productive human being. I try making to do lists, writing in a journal, talking to my parents and girlfriend. I lie to them about how my progress is going because I am ashamed. I am completely embarrassed of my life and it is making me a shut in. I don't know what to do. I know therapy is an option but what can they tell me that I don't already know? Oh ya, I am taking anti-depressants as well (effexor xr). I just want to be proud of myself and make those that I care about and that care about me, proud of me. Thanks for your time to respond.
