Mental Fitness

Ofcourse there is brother! This world is amazing. There are mountains you can climb, cities to visit, races to be won, animals to study, books to be read, movies to watch.

There are people you can talk to, people that you can help, a lot of lives you can positively influence.

There's is no greater purpose to life, it is what it is, so the only thing you gotta worry about is how you spend the time you've got here.

Just live the fuck out of it!

>just decided to buy a kayak tomorrow

Didn't even notive that, thanks i guess

But how, if society urges you to finish school, find a job, start a family and then ultimately die in some shit hole?
Where do you take the time to explore the world?

>but how if society urges you to do X thing
Your first step in self improvement is to completely disregard what others think of you.

How

You get it

I'm married, went to college, have a job. It doesn't matter. You can still do awesome things. Taking my wife for glacier climbing in Iceland this summer.

Even when you have kids you can do cool stuff. Very fond memories of climbing mountains with my dad for example.

It's the attitude you need to change: just do what you like and commit to it.

Dunno nigga, I'm not here to answer the hard questions. Good luck!

Women who break my heart are a full time occupation
Still havent gotten over the last one and its been over a year now

I don't know what's wrong with me sometimes.
If I feel uncomfortable in a public place, I get these Paresthesia in my arms and at worst in my legs and face. I feel like going back to home and go to my comfortable place.
Only thing I noticed that helps is alcohol. If I drink a couple of beer, I don't get them.

swell work, you should use your gift for game artworks

i cant paint 2-D at all though.

exactly my thoughts

Cool! Kind of looks like something that would be in Blade Runner.

Been depressed for 3 years and medicated for 2ish years.

I've found that lifting does not "cure" depression but it is a great intervention strategy. It gives structure to my free time, it is great for when I feel absolutely shit to go and lift and flood my brain with endorphins and I feel better for few hours.

My depression kills my motivation though, so I often don't really see the point of lifting, but I do it anyway due to sheer force of willpower.

Phenibut is great but be VERY VERY careful with it. I've been using it for about a year with strict cycling schedule (no more than three days a week, no more than 2 days in a row) and you build tolerance super quick, side-effects increase (especially throwing me into a depressive episode 2 days after) while the positive effect wears off.

The way I see it it it ensures a good day and a half and then ensure terrible 2 days after. SO if I have something that is very important for me where I need to be in a good mood (like an anniversary, or a social engagement or whatever) I trade in good today for shit tomorrow and day after tomorrow.

Also, don't fuck with withdrawals, they're brutal.

Well I only have uni 3 days a week, so I was gonna use it monday and wednesday and tough out uni on friday.

Then if I go out on the weekend I may have a third dose of the week but usually I just work.

I know what you mean by the complete destruction of motivation, I still managed to keep myself lifting for the most part excluding 3 months where I was really bad. Unfortunately I can't seem to use that willpower regarding my studies despite them being my best chance of getting out of this endless funk.

I broke up with my girlfriend last week. She called me up wanting to have a sex-only relationship. I went over there and spent then say with her and her nieces, then fell asleep crying in her arms like a little bitch without even putting it in. I'm a complete mess

Playing in my band
Career progression at work, idk if that counts as separate from actually turning up and doing my job but whatever.

Women hurt like fuck, I just want to hold my ex, it's been a year and I still keep thinking I smell her perfume and it makes my heart flutter.
I have a feeling my inability to get over her is the current shit state of my life, I systematically lost a lot of things until she was the only good aspect of my life left I was already depressed but at least when I was with her I was always happy, then when she left it felt like being I was being abandoned in this inescapable pit.
Like she saw me as a sinking ship and she gets to shoot to the surface while I keep plummeting.

My head's not in a good state bros.

brehs I can't even get myself to lift anymore. I don't enjoy any of my old hobbies. It's all I can do to drag myself to work and occasionally to the grocery store. It's gotten so monotonous that I kinda figure this is gonna be my life forever...wake up, go to work, bum at home while bored and lonely, sleep, repeat for days and weeks and months and years. My life will unfold in a certain way and it's all. so. tiring.

Is this depression? I've no reason to be. things are going well in my career and relationship. I still laugh at comedies and can crack jokes ...and yet I kinda don't see the point in playing out a path that I can already see unfolded out in front of me.

For any depressed bros: Read "The Drama of the gifted Child" by Alice Miller, a Swiss Psychotherapist. She explains a common origin of depression by subconcious needs of your parents. It's like 200 pages and very fascinating.

this isn't what I want to read on mother's day

who is this fluid druid?

>what if society urges you to

Your wife's son urges you to buy him a new a car. Do you do it?

(Hint: the answer is likely yes because you had to ask that question)
