depression? getting old? hormone issue?

Travis Alexander said:
For years you made thread after thread as cries for help to get off of drugs. Did you ever get sober? Sober from all substances? At a certain point the lubrication addicts/alcoholics use to live life stops working… what you are describing feels like someone that’s either still self medicating or didn’t look inward to develop the tools to live life on life’s terms post substances. Either way only you know the truth and only you can fix it. It takes hard work and honesty though. There are a wealth of tools and resources that are free to those that actually want to better their lives.

Yeah it sounds like he's self medicated in the past rather than taken appropriate medication and gradually put the work in when he can.

As someone who's blessed with clinical depression the most powerful thing I ever read was that my mental health isn't my fault but it is my responsibility.

Check your T levels bro. In a lab that does chromatic mass spectrometry.
I felt the same when I had hormonal problems.
Also don't give up. At least you function somewhat, could be worse.
 
Yeah, I get it. I'm at that stage too.

I can't be bothered to do anything aside from work a bit of overtime at work. I like seeing the numbers in my bank account go up every month.

I have no tolerance for games, I don't want to go out, I've stopped going to the gym, I have some sex drive but I'm not bothering with my missus anymore. I have a dream holiday that I'm planning but haven't acted upon her aside from getting the days off, and despite it bothering me for years, I still haven't booked it yet. I think of death a lot, not because of pain but because everything is boring and downtrodden.

I'm just taking it day by day, riding it out.

Add walk the dog in a few times. Add bang the wife somewhere after the last eat.... Pretty much my 41 year old life on a weekday.

Also, work instead of go to work.

What a shockingly terrible life........

What you need is someone to try and fuck your life up even more..... Or better still conspire with others to try and really put the boot in....

Nothing beats an end of level boss with a horde of minions .......

So get out there, bang the deli girl and her sister and if their mum still has it, bang her too.......go get some coke and hookers.......

Oh man, do you have kids or pets?
 
I had a bout of this a few years ago. No drugs though. Hope ur getting some sunlight at least. I think just going out for a walk and getting sun can help or finding something you enjoy out of the house, but not using again under the el or some shit.

Mine stemmed from working a descent paying but dangerous job where upper management made it known how little your life mattered over production schedule. I cut my expenses as much as possible and started saving up because I knew the go fuck yourself day would come eventually. It came and quit on the spot with nothing else lined up. Ended up getting unemployment anyway because the company no showed the hearing after I appealed my initial denial. Was told by a lot of family and friends that it was a bad move, but honestly one of best decisions of my life. Got a 5 month paid vacation and ended up getting a way better job after that.

Nope. Thinking of getting a cat or a dog. I'm in a new build top floor flat so it may be a little awkward.

It could be worse. I have my own home and I can make good money and save for things. Better that than where I was in my twenties, close to minimum wage ina a godawful bedsit.

I'm just not particularly inspired right now. I've been lying on my cheap placeholder sofa, on my phone. I'm going to head to the local pub shortly and have a meal.

I need to go and explore the world for a really long time. No matter where I move to, there isn't really much to do.

I've felt disconnected from society for a really long time and as I'm getting older, I'm finding that it's becoming worse. I've outgrown the things that I used to like and I've lost the desire to find the things that I used to pine for. I wanted friends, I no longer want them. I wanted a good sex life, I don't want it anymore, I want to be fit and I no longer care enough to get up. All I'd like is to own a little cottage in the middle of nowhere and wait until I pass on. Maybe I'd keep a dog as company.

Eh, whatever. I think I'll go for the Hunters Chicken today.

What I mean about temporary, life is like a valley. You go up and then you go down. It just how it flows at times. Just got to wade it off.

Thread 'Does land exist that you can just...build a modest house and live on?'

So public land is everywhere, but unless Im wrong you cant just live on it..right? maybe a tent but you cant just build a house. does such land exist somewhere? is there someone remote enough in the dense wilderness that you can build something like this and not be bothered?

I hve a birthday coming up and holy shit am I depressed. I feel like Im starting from the near bottom, I blew every bit of my money. at one point I had 100k, now I have 4k. my degree sucks, and my work experience sucks. I have an OK job right now but it doesnt pay life changing money. I think I will stick with it for...
