So I'm 18, a student in the U.K. in my last year of compulsory schooling and getting kind of stressed about it.
I went through a lot in the past year that I won't get into but it disturbed my schooling a lot and I struggle with my mental health, particularly with suicidal thoughts. After watching a ted talk from a man who had dealt with recovering from a suicide attempt by simplifying his life, I was inspired to simplify mine a lot too. Most of this includes chucking away old unnecessary possessions. I dropped out of a class and quit my job.
I'm now back in school, I have a remote part time job that gets me enough money to get by. I'm looking to get through my exams with maybe not amazing grades, but just enough. I'm trying to learn how to drive and trying to go to the gym a lot. I feel very insecure about my body, I hate having clutter around me even though I don't have that much. I feel like I spend too much on items that I don't need and don't spend enough time in nature or being creative. But I just don't seem to have enough time.
I don't spend time with friends because we're all so busy it's ridiculous so I feel quite lonely. I don't want to spend loads of money going out to meet new people.
How can simplify my life further and become less stressed?
