I have no ambition.

I'm currently in my last year of school and in a time in my life where people should feel excited about their future or scared about their future. Me however, don't feel anything.

About 3 years ago my parents announced they were getting divorced which followed with a life changing heart attack for my father. These events led me to creep inside my room and play games. I'm an addict. I don't do schoolwork. I don't learn. I don't care. I sit in class every day bored to death waiting to go home to game. I've tried exercising, chess, building a social life but always find myself back in front of my computer screen. (I have about 5k hours in online games.) I also saw my friends leaving me slowly but surely. Making me feel alone and worthless. I don't know if I have depression. Maybe in some way.

I've come to this website because I'm clueless, ambitionless and lifeless and need help to get me out of this hole I'm in.

Fellow human.

Can you not get rid of the video games and get into something new? Sounds like staying in your room has removed your motivation, you need to get outside and do things. A lot of people in their late teens seem to spend time alone in their rooms, but you are the only person that can do something about it. Put all the video games on eBay and sell them if you are really serious about changing then move on.
