1) If you are having serious intentions of self-harm, seek professional help. No other advice you read here (mine included) matters until you've done that. 2) Forget Tinder, and other social media too. It's just something to make you feel bad looking at the rest of the world's highlight reel. 3) You're not yet 23. You haven't failed at life, because—frankly—you haven't had a chance to live any of it yet. 4) Get off screens and go outside. Go for a walk near trees in the sun. 5) If you've got friends, ask to spend time with them. Doesn't matter what activity. 6) If you're short on friends, start making some new ones through shared activities. Sports, hobby classes, fellow dog owners at the dog park, whatever works best for you. 7) Get your sleep, diet, and exercise in order. These are foundational to feeling good and doing well at anything else over the long term. Ignore them at your peril.
