I try to stay optimistic about things, but I’m spent.
I miss my family on the East Coast.
I hate living in fucking CA.
I want to drop everything, buy a plane ticket, and move back to the East Coast.
I feel miserable right now.
This is just not about the Quiet Physicist, there are just a lot of things that I am unhappy about in my life right now.
It seems like no matter what I do, no matter how hard I try, things never change.

I can relate. I know what it’s like to live somewhere where I’m not happy, and I know what it’s like to feel the sting of rejection from a guy I like. It’s not easy!
A while back, during a dark period, it was suggested to me to write down five positive things that happened to me each day, no matter how minor. At first I found it hard to do and would end up forgetting days (meaning I’d end up playing catch-up with multiple entries in one day), but eventually it came to me easily. It became easy to focus on stuff that was uplifting as opposed to stuff that depressed me.
I also find that writing my thoughts in a journal helps, as well as buying cheap musical instruments (a recorder can easily be found for $5) as a way to let my emotions out.
I know a lot of this is easier said than done and it’s not easy to go from a dark period, but these are only suggestions. Find what works for you and in time you can move out of that negative space.
I’m sorry that things are rough for you right now and that hopefully things will look up for you.

Changingmoods, thanks so much for your advice.
I am feeling better now, but I think I will try out writing down 5 positive things every day.
I also should get back to practicing my guitar, who knows, maybe I might even compose and amazing song lol.
