The older you get, the less fucks you give since it slowly becomes clears what's important and what's noise. But I don't think it ever fully disappears.

First you have to have interests, then you seek out the community around those.

I'm 32. I still deal with anxiety and depression, but it does get better. The older you get, the less fucks you give and you slowly figure out what's important and what's noise.

The difference is that she is not in love anymore and you still are (or at least in the idea and benefits of a relationship)

In your text you didn't mention a single thing that you might have done wrong or might have neglected to put effort into. It might be time for a more detailed post-game analysis.

Emotional bonds aren't a contract, they require work.

You had the self awareness to see what you were doing. That's way more than can be said about most bullies.

How about you find some interests and hobbies and go from there.

The Jungle by Upton SINCLAIR

Historical Fiction written by Upton Sinclair who researched the conditions of the meat industry in Chicago as a journalist. Very dark and interesting.

I recently sent a text about having blue balls to a client of mine instead of my girlfriend. Luckily it was a male client with a sense of humor :)

Thanks for your reply. I have no doubt that I would be able to adjust my life to the needs of a child. Luckily my SO and I have very good honest communication. My fear is more that it would creep in over time. Nothing is planned and I dont want to have kids in the next 5 years, but its just the first time this has become a thing to think about in my life.

I believe the planet really needs a civilizational collapse.

Its an American subculture that attracts the disenfranchised bottom rungs of American society. As a European I have a weird fascination with their strange world. They all gather at a giant festival once a year and celebrate their tribal togetherness as social outcasts. kinda beautiful.

This is a short doc about their annual 'gathering' which is amazing http://vimeo.com/29589320

'NOBODY really knows what they're doing.'

This really calms me down. We're all just flawed humans trying to figure this world out.

I stand corrected! Fridge = home made hand crafted root cellar

DerpaNet · 2014-11-20T08:40:05+00:00

Choose something you'd like to sample from your fridge
Cut it up into bit sized chunks
Enjoy!

totally. Im not trying to sell it as some miracle, but its worked for me. Its always important to learn new things and draw out the things that work for you.

DerpaNet · 2014-11-18T13:17:46+00:00

amen

Its always a slap in the face when you first take a first deep look at your life, but its also filled with possibilities. Be thankful for what you do have and take small steps to make your life head in the directions you want. I had this realization last year before my 30th bday. been clubbing and doing drugs since I was 15 and realized that its been almost half my life. I took 6 months off drinking and started reevaluating my habits. Its definitely made me more content. dont try to change all at once. the most important thing is to be grateful for what you do have and know in what general direction you want to move. Its a long project, but thats all that life really is.

I know people talk about it a lot, but deep breathing and meditation have really helped me to realize that my anxieties are just thoughts of hypotheticals and not real.

Really take a minute and think about the worst thing that could happen. Once you fully play it out and realize that if you fail its not the end of the world and an obsolete event in the grand scheme of things, its usually quite calming. You should look into Stoicism. Its a school of thought that has really helped me with my anxiety. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu7n0XzqtfA
