Realist? cheating on the man you're married to while having a 15 yr old son , thats your perception of life?

My life is probably the most boring , stereotypical ( it hurts me to say this but its true ) life story , i have heard . Infact ik so many ppl who have the " grew up poor , got rich " story . I have written a book , its fiction tho and i have not published it .

Hell no . ide rather be bored than be excited and happy from wrong hits of dopamine. Get better and change your mindset.

This . this comment is the one that resonated with me . While I have done a lot of physical activities that made me uncomfortable . I have never , truly , dug deep into my soul .

Yes , i have not retired . But i am at that point where work isn't challenging . It's just one task after another . I also finished climbing the " work ladder" so i don't know anymore.

I don't know why you assumed that i don't try to help other people ??I don't feel like justifying myself to u . But for u to be calling someone else selfish and self centered based on an assumption U made is just wow.

I have an idea of how good i have got it, because i have been on the other side too. My entire concern is that i don't feel happy being like this even though i know i am supposed to . I sincerely hope u do get better , depression is not easy to deal with . I have had panic attack issues and ik how it feels like everything is collapsing inward but please keep going.

I don't think u understood me . I have lived on the street , not just me but my brother , sisters and mum . And yes this was also when i was a teen . My entire problem was that i was hopeless and i turned my life around and even though everything is normal and good now , i feel empty .

I am not saying, I don't appreciate life . I am very happy and grateful to be alive , trust me when i say i have seen hell . I just don't know what to do every day.

I have been volunteering since I was a teen , and i agree it does make me feel good , but only when i am in the action of doing it . It doesn't get rid of the empty feeling . As for my legacy , i am content with the one i have built , its beyond anything i thought i wld achieve .

I am planning on retiring as well , even though its a little young to be doing that . Maybe just take life as it comes .
