>What can I even do? Where should I start? What would you do if you were me? I need help but don't know what to do.

Oh, chan sites are great place to ask for advise on the subject, I'm sure.

Asides, usual advice, to go to church (Orthodox. if not available, Catholic at least) to bring your spiritual life in a stable manner, praying and getting a priest as a mentor for an advisor, you should force yourself to do something. Do something you like, but make it meaningful and to actually earn you something, not talking about solely wealth.

If you like cooking for example, go to culinary courses and get a job at the restaurant. If you like, lets say tabletop games, try to find a circle and join them, it might get you friends.

Abandon porn and also stop posting on /pol/ and reddit. They are shitholes and I know this from my experience

I know it's such a bad place to ask, but really, where else can I ask this? My family are not helpful in this regard. The few old friends I have (that I haven't talked to in months) would probably be less than interested in my problems.

I've heard that Orthodox churches are sometimes just Greek cultural centers. Would a 100% American be "left out" there? Is there anything I should pay attention to when choosing a church?

go volunteer somewhere and help people. This is proven to end neetdom once you get used to leaving your house then get a Job.

>I've heard that Orthodox churches are sometimes just Greek cultural centers. Would a 100% American be "left out" there?

No, American Orthodox Church is an American Church and holds liturgies in English. And most of the attenders are, as I know, Americans

Is there anything I should pay attention to when choosing a church?

Well, obvious part is if liturgy is in your language. And of course you should check information about priest that serves there, his education and so on.

I have the very same situation OP. I've been this way since I failed out of HS. I haven't left my house in weeks and I probably talk face to face with someone outside my family once every few months. I don't know how to get motivation to do anything. I can't even go to church since I'm terrified of seeing other people. I don't know why we would be made this way.

>>594212

You have to get a job. Any job. I can't really tell you how to go do it since giving up NEETdom is so hard, but the Bible verses about work helped get my mind in the right perspective and I knew God was ashamed of me being a lazy piece of shit.

The very first thing you need to do though is quit watching porn. Then reset your sleeping schedule to wake up at 7 or 8am. Even if you stay a neet for a while, spending all day asleep is probably causing a lot of your low energy problem and depression. That's one of the easiest and most beneficial things you can do.

Sounds like you are hypothyroid.

Read up on the works of Dr Ray Peat.

Drink 1 litre of not from concentrate orange juice a day and start to work up towards 2 litres of 1% organic pasture fed milk a day. Drink four cups of coffee a day (i mix organic instant with my milk) Eat 100g of liver once a week for vits and minerals, and completely cut out all poly unsaturated fats. This is added to all commercial foods and comes from seeds and is incredibly toxic and damaging. Saturated fats are good and pro metabolic. Coconut oil is best. Eat shrimp or oysters once a week for minerals. Any meat try to get organic and from pastured sources. Avoid pork and chicken especially chicken skin as these are packed with poly unsaturated fat. Sunbathe for 30 mins at midday for vit d (when angle of sun is above 50 degrees). Use blue light filters on your PC and phones. F.lux is good.

That should start you help you out physiologically. The other aspect is physchological and spiritual and the only thing to solve it is to join the catholic church. Our hearts are restless until they rest in God and minimum: daily (constantly is best) prayer, weekly (daily is best) mass, monthly (weekly is best) confession. A good confessor and priest can help you find your way but you must first find THE way and order your life towards Christ, for salvation is the most important thing.

Model yourself on Christ and stop sinning. Stop watching porn and masturbating. This diet I gave you should help with that as it depletes estrogen which causes hyper sexuality and porn addiction. Wake up and sleep with the sun. Try to spend every moment in productivity or silent contemplative rest. Read the bible instead of watching TV or vidya and internet trash browsing. Read the church fathers online at catholic encyclopedia. Keep your home clean. Daily rosary helps immensely, especially with a midday walk in nature.

Find a profession where you can work, like Christ did. We men crave work. Find something that complements you and that you enjoy that can tangibally make money to live off, something that suits the local economy.

I wish you well and may God bless your endeavours. Never forget you are not alone in the struggle, Christ is there too and we are all called to deny ourselves and take up our crosses daily.

Get after it OP

you're a chronic excuse maker

Depending where he lives, this might be harder than it sounds. There's some places where work is really hard to get, especially if you are a male in your 20s.

Get a job bum.

No eating until you start working.

2 Thessalonians 3:10

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

> No eating until you start working

People interpret Paul as if he’s saying unemployed people should starve to death. That of course would he absurd and go against the words of Christ. What he’s saying is that he who WILL NOT WORK, shall not eat. So if someone is unwilling to work but expects to be fed, then indeed they should not be supported until they are willing to work. However someone who is willing to work, but is not able to find employment, should indeed be helped out if they need it.

Go to uni or trade school. With Uni, pick a curriculum from your major, go to community college to take your gen eds from that major for a cheap price, then transfer to a university that accepts those credits.

Major in STEM fields.

He's saying that they have to contribute to society to be assisted by it. Likewise, OP has to earn his food.

looking for employment is hard work if you're working hard at it.

There's work to be done all the time, even when steady jobs are difficult to find. When you go soulwinning, after giving the gospel, ask if they need weeds pulled or a garage cleaned or snow shoveled or cows milked or an errand delivered.

Big difference between an unemployed person and a sloth.

It sounds like OP is from the US so there's always work. Even if it's part time at McDonald's. There's also tons of temp agencies that will get you a job no matter how bad your employment history is, even though they jew you out of what you'd earn without them. The only time where "can't find a job" is a real excuse is if you live in the middle of nowhere rural America. Then you'll have to do something more drastic like join the military or get a government program to get a job and relocate, which are available.
