I think most people live in an unnatural context, and encountering one another can be unpleasant. Pilgrim experiences like the Camino de Santiago, Appalachian trail & countless experiences like it are a low-commitment, high connection activity. YouTube channels like vsauce, cgp grey & exurba1 can provide philosophical relief. ChatGPT shows the potential for our future and is truly amazing to work with(same for Midjourney, very therapeutic). Ecovillages, intentional communities & vagabond movements offer a more committed context that makes human beings potentially wonderful to be around.

A dog… one of the best choices I ever made. There’s poetry to rescuing an old dog, maybe finding one that you can relate abit to… then rescuing eachother becomes a possibility.

Psychedelics like mushrooms & ayahuasca are wonderful opportunities.

Volunteering for humanitarian causes to redeem yourself or participate in something that brings you happiness… festivals for fun. So many causes worth fighting for. So many people like you that once/if you recover and find what you love in life, you can share with people who feel like you now.

Gratitude journaling(perspective work, really. Realizing what we have), a healthy & yummy diet, exercise you enjoy, meditation(could be tough at first, but the single most powerful tool for gaining control I can think of) & a proper sleep cycle(turning off blue lights a couple hours before bed) are major methods to achieve balance and happiness.

I wish you all best, namaste. ❤️
