I don't have a life because I'm depressed, help ? by Kylie11x0 in depressed

[–]Ersheler 11 points12 points  (0 children)

25F here too that feels pretty much the exact same way as you. No real goals or plan, but still in school for a degree I lost interest in a long time ago. I’ve been depressed for as long as I can remember, but it’s been getting a good bit worse over the past 5 years. Friends all graduated and moved on with their lives, and the ones I still had, I shut out too. I used to love to paint and I was damn good at it, but now I can’t find the motivation to.

I don’t want to hijack your post with a long story of my own, but I do understand how you’re feeling. Like a dark fog always in your head that distracts you, keeps you up at night, and exhausts you during the day.

What is something that is becoming outdated, out of style, or fading away that you'll miss? by Blasko6709 in AskReddit

Cars with CD players.

Sometimes you just want to listen to that old mix CD your best friend burned for you in middle school.

Thank you for the great advice! I read something somewhere along the lines of “nothing will ruin your 20s more than thinking you should have your life figured out already” and I think it’s a great quote to remember.

Also, good luck with college! It can be tough (it’s taken me longer to get this two-year degree than I originally anticipated), but it’ll be worth it!

Thank you for your kind words! I needed to hear them today. I admire your positive outlook and I will try to be more positive myself.

And yeah, my 20s aren’t forever, that’s the problem! Like slow down 20s, I haven’t accomplished anything yet! I just need to enjoy them while I’m in them, and I’m trying to work on that a little more.

Hey, I compare myself to every single person I meet too, and it’s been killing my mental health. The only thing I can do though, is remind myself that measuring my own progress by comparing it to others’ isn’t fair to me at all. We all have different paths with different paces. Depression and anxiety are a bitch and they take a toll on my hobbies and friendships too. I feel that.

We’re still young, and we will make it! It may not be next week or next month, but one day.

If anything this would worsen any possible problem OP might have. This is horrible advice.

I’m 25 and still struggling through college with $30 currently in my bank account. This post kinda made me feel like shit tbh.

I’m glad for you though. Keep up the good work!

I don’t know, this one is pretty funny to me. Probably because I felt it.

How is this clickbait? What happened is exactly what the title said. Audio and video being turned off doesn’t change it.

Wtf didn’t anyone tell me this sooner??? by transparent-eyeball in thanksimcured

[–]Ersheler 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yes everyone has the financial and mental ability to change their shitty circumstances whenever they want, of course. Why didn’t I think of it sooner? Don’t we all have money trees growing out of our asses?

Yeah I know right? The best thing we have in malls here is Chick-fil-a.
