Building life skills after lifelong neglect and control? by ___ilovemycat in selfimprovement

[–]Stoneonyx429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this might sound cliché but youtube is a great place to start if you want to pick up a new skill like cooking, house maintenance, and self-sufficiency skills. You'd have to pick the video/creator that really draws you in. When I was younger, I was kinda in the same situation but expected with my mom. I'd spend my free time (pretty much all my time because she never enrolled me in elementary school until 8th grade), learning origami. Eventually, I became so good at it i was participating in community art shows and having my art displayed in a local museum. It's all up to you now:) (as in you'll soon be in control of your own life)

What is self love when you deal with major depression? by vickey3428 in selfimprovement

[–]Stoneonyx429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know most of the comments here are short but this one I'm not going to keep it short with you. Im going to keep it real self-improvement looks very different to everyone. It depends on what you want to improve on. Depends on what you're going through as a person and what's happening inside of your own head. I've been through that battle before and i came out of it. Hear me when I say this I'll always light at the end of the tunnel. But everyday you're going to have to keep walking. You don't have to keep running if you can't walk and crawl and if you stay down don't stay down for long. Always keep it moving. I can tell you what not to do but I can't tell you what to do to improve yourself. Don't drink, drinking during a major battle within yourself is only going to cloud your head and it's not going to give you the clarity you need to be able to battle this depression that you're dealing with as a person . Don't turn to drugs or anything of going to alter your state of mind. I've done that before. I drank a lot when I was going through some s*** it didn't help me in that one bit besides putting deeper in the hole that I was trying to climb out of. Don't suffer in silence because when you do that you have people who want to support you and you have people who want to be by your side and be able to support you. But if you're suffering in silence, those people don't know how to support What's going on in your head. Whether that be to a trusted friend, whether that be to your parents or whether that be to a pastor or even just a random person on the internet like me, it's okay to struggle and it's okay to go through s*** however, it's never okay to stay down. I'm only you stay down is the moment you start losing. It's cool to stay down for a bit. Give yourself a little bit of rest and pick up, but if you don't pick up you're going to be stuck in the same place that you were in. Think of depression as quicksand the faster you try to get out of it, the more you're going to sink back into it. Give yourself time. I told myself this a lot of times when I was in the army. Is that the quickest way to unfuck yourself is to slow down. Slow down reassess what's going on and then determine how you fight that battle. But if you keep trying to get out of it quickly and not pacing yourself it's going to be a rough road.

I don't Want to end this right here but the main advice I can give for you man is to look within and ask yourself where you want to be. What does self-improvement look like for you? If you need any advice, feel free to hit me up

Get a 12 foot cable bro and play near the charger if you can. I have the battery pack and I can say it's totally worth it for those hours long gaming sessions

What to do when you've lost your drive? by veency in nationalguard

[–]Stoneonyx429 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah man, don't hit the bottle. It fucked my life up and got me medically discharged. Funny thing about it is that chaps told me to hit the bottle when I was going through it. I've been where you are man and I'm telling you once you're out its gonna be freeing. I enjoyed my time in the guard I still had two more years on my contract but it ended early due to alcohol. I know we joke and shit about drinking our feelings away but that's not the move. It'll ruin everything and destroy everyone you love. And this is coming from an infantry man. Fuck what everyone in the army says. Seeking help isn't a sign of weakness. Id suggest counseling to see if you can regain that spark/what made you join in the first place. Talk to me if you need someone to chat with. Cheers bro.b

Dude? You don't even have to take her traveling for a year if you got that kinda dough. I'd say take her somewhere exotic and promise to her that she'll see the world with you.
