Hit Rock Bottom. Pulled out a drill.

Goddamn. I'm a shadow of my former self, and my formal self wasn't even all that great. But I at least had pride, and made attempts to better myself. I've been in a slump since November after something happened. For ease of reference, pretend I have the lowest self esteem you've ever seen. Cause thats pretty close to how far I've fallen. I'm talking scared to make eye contact sh**. This is new for me!!! I can't enjoy anything because I feel worthless.

My first step, is to reduce my internet time. After I take care of some business, I'm chucking out my computer. Thats been my biggest crutch and "comfort" so I have to get rid of it.

After that I'm not sure. It feels so weird to be worse than I was before I started. Has anyone here come out of a MASSIVE slump(barely function in a social setting) than before?

Nowhere to go but up. Either you'll get better or you'ree be ruined, either by death or ending up needing therapy. The less you've got to lose the more incentive and less risk there is in making gains.

Go do it!

I've been there in similar circumstances before (proly there right now) but what I realize is that it's your attitude towards the situation that makes all the damn difference. Accept yourself for who are first, then accept that you want/need to change.

Once you've done that, I find that you need to cultivate a healthy and active lifestyle: develop hobbies, spend time with friends, go out and get drunk, find amusement in women, etc. You know, do things that make you feel good. Make "feeling good about yourself" the norm.

It never helps to worry so you might as well live each day like it was on purpose. Just know what you want out of each day and set small goals to assist in getting what you want. That way you'll gradually become, then surpass, who you were and are now.

Just keep your head up man. Just understand that "not everyday is Christmas"

From the bottom you can only move up (or remain where you are).
MOVE UP!

You have no idea who you are or why you might actually have some value. Start digging in your past to find out why you are this way- then forgive those people, realize you aren't perfect and then realize there are girls that will still like you
