Nah. Felt like this since I was 8 or 9. Now I’m a lot better and don’t struggle with my self esteem that much anymore and I haven’t seriously thought about killing myself in a few months

That’s rough. My family is the only thing in this world I give a shit about. I’d have killed myself years ago if it weren’t for them.

If you really, actually don’t give a shit, you can bounce. Work out a way to split assets with your partner and go do whatever you want with your life. Your family will probably hate you for leaving, your blood relatives and/or friends might lose respect for you, getting another job might be hard, but you’d be free and none of that would matter.

Unless you actually do give a shit, but just need something to change? Are you sure that giving up what you’ve got would be the change you need? What is it you want?

“Nothing.” You know: memes, scrolling, YouTube. I mean if you’ve tried all three, what else in the world can a person do?

They might have tried to do other stuff, but struggle to find the motivation. Like, you might try to pick up drawing, but all you do is to stare at a blank canvas. Maybe scribble a little bit and then you go back to bed.

There’s not even motivation for the bare minimum, like scrolling meaningless stuff.

schmorpel, 10 months ago

Just scrolling and consuming content is very bad for body and mind. If you feel numb like this, try to find one or several forms of self-expression that works for you.

Can be drawing, dancing, singing, petting animals, programming, staring at trees, knitting, gardening, making memes, recording videos. And even better: you’re permitted to do all of it badly and just enjoy yourself, no rules need to be followed.

Being active helps as well. Walking, lifting, whatever.

magic_lobster_party, 10 months ago

Thanks, now I’m a depressed powerlifter

Pro tip, use a spotter.

It happens, but the numbness goes away for a few hours a week, and now you're swole and juicy af.

Not for long. Exercise does massively help depression. Being able to get yourself to exercise while depressed is the hard part.

captainlezbian, 10 months ago

Not necessarily. Lifting is great for depression but not all causes. Sometimes you have something else up there that needs fixed. Maybe it’s ptsd and you need therapy, maybe it’s a different kind of chemical imbalance, maybe it’s gender dysphoria, maybe it’s insufficient social fulfillment, etc. Keep lifting, but also start seeking new treatments with it.

Sounds like depression. Anon should find a job that interests him.

newIdentity, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

This was me a few months ago.

Edit: just to clarify: I didn’t write this greentext. I just identify strongly with it.

newIdentity, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

I finished school and I started to go out more, making new friends and in general not always doing the same shit. School was stressing me out a lot and I didn’t even notice it before it was over.

I also was incredibly lonely and regularly cried myself to sleep. Still am sometimes even though I’m surrounded by people who like me.

I only had like one really good friend and honestly if she wasn’t there, I would’ve killed myself years ago.
