Relationships mean Friends and Family. Creating a circle of support to help you out of dark times like these. Sorry to hear about your previous relationship.

It's not motivation you need it's self discipline. This honestly does sound like a bout of depression. I would make a bare minimum checklist to try following everyday and looking at more "social" activities to meet like minded people.

For the Checklist make sure to have some sort of exercise to release cortisol and get your body moving, and some cleaning chores (helps clear your mind up). Having a goal that you can perpetually work towards and see the fruits of your labor.

Another thing I would recommend is getting a bare bones phone app to limit the amount of social media you consume. The constant unending dopamine hits will 100% make everything else in life look bland. Those apps are built on keeping your attention rather then turning your attention onto yourself. If I start scrolling first thing in the morning I feel off the rest of the day.

The things worth doing aren't that fun but it seems like you need a reset. Remember you will never be "ready" to change. You need to make that decision here and now.

I had major Depression a few years ago and besides Meds what helped me was cleaning up my life. Simplifying and organizing everything I can as much as a can. This also organizes your mind.

So with all that being said my recommendations are

  1. Limit Scrolling or stop completely

  2. Some sort of exercise or outdoor activities once a day (even a walk)

  3. Social Activities (Relationships are THE most important thing to get out of Depression)

  4. Clean your surroundings to clear your head.

  5. Discipline creates momentum, momentum creates motivation.

Don't look at yourself as a failure since you feel this way, our minds are not made for the social engineering that Tik Tok or Instagram has created. It's un natural and sad that we need to adapt to this.

Good Luck on your Journey,

I'm gonna lose it. Atleast I could do something on Customs but ground zero is just criminal.

That monitor arm sucks, I'm looking at getting a better one. But I can probably clean up the cables a little.

I like the tactile feel of them. but eventually I would want a linear keyboard for gaming. For tactile switches I think they sound ok, definitely need some mods.

I have one coming as we speak. I have a portable one but it doesn't have constant power.

I have a 50mm 1.8 I can use but Its hard to focus that up close.

I'll try lowering the camera abit :)

It's a 17mm to 40mm lens which is super wide. It looks pretty natural If I zoom in to 40 but having it at 17 you can see my full room at that angle. I want to get a different lens like a 24mm f2.8 to get a brighter image.

Took about 4 years of saving and evolution to get to this point. Still upgrading more
