i am skinny 20 yo, been lifting for 1,5 years with a total of 2,5 years of lifting in my life. i put a lot of effort in the gym and have been to three different gyms. i don't see the slightiest difference in my body since years ago. my biceps (10kg curls max) have seen no mass increase at all, the same for the rest of my body. if someone sees me they would say i'm DYEL, and they wouldn't be wrong.
my strenght has gone up tho, which is nice, i can do 10 pullups/dips, i bench 65 kg (with the machine) but my body has been exactly the same and i have no definition at all, you can barely see the abs under a good light and with a bit of imagination.
during the years i have done a lot of different programs, which were all decided by the gym instructor. now i do a 3 day split with mostly classical excercises with dumbell and barebells and such. i try to eat a lot and a lot of proteins but i'm depressed and stressed af for uni and i have very little appetite. but i am definitely trying to eat as much as i can and i eat to the point of being unwell if i think i havent eaten enough.
i am 179cm (5'10") tall, 69kg (152lb), bodyfat around 12-13 (measured electronically).

Don't. Your main problem is probably not eating enough, but I am sure this adds to it.

i already eat as much as i can take. a few months ago i had to take a brief diet because i was putting up fat and not muscles.
i have to attain to the instructor's program

Here are the key things you MUST do if you actually want to stop being a depressed skinny phaggot.
>Read the sticky Seriously. Read it... Just once.
>Pick a proper mass building routine Use a popular bodybuilding routine that has been tried and tested literally hundreds of thousands of times... Some of these can be found in the sticky.
>Eat 300-500 calories ABOVE your maintenance Find out what your maintenance level is and then eat more than that (calculators can be found on google)... Download the myfitnesspal app and scan the barcode of everything you eat. It will literally count your calories for you.
>Eat 1g protein per lbs bodyweight Self explanatory. The app I mentioned above counts this for you too
>Get good quality sleep You don't need to sleep for 8 hours every day. But you DO need to have quality sleep. The following things will help you with this:
-be hydrated before bed -have a set time to wake up every morning -go to bed at the same time at least 5 days of the week -some natural supplements can also help improve your sleep
The only reason the above things may not work is if you are very low test (not likely). You can easily go to the doctors to get this tested. You just need to recite the symptoms of low test to your doc and ask for the test.
