Life Advice? (Dark Topic)

[Representing_Tromba]

• Get off of technology, specifically social media for a few weeks.
• See if you're deficient in any vitamins such as C, D, B1, K, Magnesium, iron, potassium, fish oil, etc. and get your levels back up as needed.
• Go outside and enjoy nature without any distractions for at least half an hour each day if possible.
• Try eating less sugar and try homemade foods with veggies and protein. I suggest a crock pot Irish dinner using cabbage, potatoes, carrots, corned beef, apple cider vinegar, whole garlic cloves, and onion as it can boost vitamin K.
• Hang out with some people you trust and want to be around maybe once or twice a week.
• If you have a bunch of hobbies you are trying to work on, try focusing on the most important for now. Making a list in order of important prior can help. If you have no hobbies at the moment then try one that is hands on and can yield near immediate results like wood carving, cooking, swinging a stick sword around, pottery, painting, etc.
• Understand that the world is not on your shoulders but rather the earth is underfoot, planted there before you ever existed. No problem is too big that is can't be handled nor too small that it should be ignored. Life has been handed to you when nothing else is so accept it as the precious gift it is. Witness the beauty it beholds so that you may discern how you would like to shape what you have been alotted in this time and space. Love yourself, love others as such, and love the One who has given you the ability to experience it.

Thist tbh. But, and as crass as it sounds, orgasms. Orgasms release endorphins, serotonin and more.

True. But not too much. Excess will kill your motivation and mental health.

When you are at your lowest... Go to a park and watch the kids playing and laughing merrily. Look at their parents... How happy they are just to see their children smiling. At one point, you'll start feeling happy... If not for your messed up life... Then for their smile. You would think, "I should come here often. The world can be beautiful at times." From then on, whenever you find yourself a heavy situation... You'd want to experience something heartwarming. And when you do THAT, my friend, you'll come in contact with inner peace. Some may call this- "a little escape", but it is what it is. Little escapeS can cause you to ACTUALLY escape from the pressure of your daily life.

Or so I believe.

Nah, I'm unfortunately the time to automatically compare things I shouldn't. Comparing my current self to my past self, a past version of me that used to be on top of everything. Makes this kind of method nearly impossible for a rock head like me.

But, I'm not gonna leave that reply open ended. I'm working at it one day at a time. Recently, I narrowed down the source of the medical problem even further. For now, pursuing that is my current copium. I haven't exhausted every option yet, so there is at least that.

What do we do when we're in a total life slump? I feel the crushing weight of every issue around me caving in, and it feels like, ever time I take a step forward, I also am pushed back two more...

I know it's a complex topic, but just, how do people live in this world sometimes, I wonder...

I don't give a f*ck about them. They will always see something wrong with me or what I'm doing so I just do whatever it want. If I do it and it's not good enough, then deal with it. That's what i do. They will always find fault whatever you do, so why not just do whatever you wanted?

Sure, but the crux of my issues are a brutal combination of medical and financial issues, not people problems.

Similar story for me too... I feel lost and disconnected from people...

I don't care for small thing like other do, and I look like a black ship in the herd of whites... But who cares?

No one is coming for me, so I just do what I can do. You might ask, what can you do in these situations?

I do my best and try to get out of these life phases as quickly as I can. Because I know no one is coming. It is my life choices that made me who I am, and I have to take responsibility for it.

Try your best, man. It's your life, and your decisions. No one will blame you, and no one will judge you.

Don't shy away...

Same, i have a medical problems and financial problems too. But i don't care. If I can solve it today then i have already solve it now. But if can't, so why waste time on something i can't solve in the present. Let the future me solve it if that future me has the ability to finally solve it. I'll just do whatever i want until it got the future me.

The way some peoples' minds work is interesting. If I'm led to believe in a future of futility, through no possible controls, it would drive me to ruin. I think, some people can just live with certain issues, and others cannot or will not.
Into such a battle I go...

Man, I feel you. That crushing weight where every step forward gets you pushed back two... it's exhausting just thinking about it.

I don't have some magic fix. But what's helped me when I'm in that hole is picking one tiny thing. Not "fix my whole life", just one stupid small thing I can control. Make my bed. Wash one dish. Go outside for five minutes and just breathe. It doesn't fix anything, but it reminds me I'm not completely powerless.

Also, I've learned that waiting to "feel inspired" is a trap. The motivation doesn't come first. The action does. Even if it's fake. Even if you're rolling your eyes the whole time.

And yeah, talking to someone who won't try to solve you helps. Not advice, just someone who listens.

You're not the only one who feels this way. That doesn't make it easier, but maybe it makes it less lonely.

Hang in there. One shitty day at a time.
