    Don't waste your time thinking how to get to an island when you are in the middle of the ocean, just worry about staying afloat and sooner or later the current will take you and you'll spot an island on the horizon.

    You're either a Poet, or a Psychologist. Maybe a 'lil bit of both, eh?

    Sometimes I wonder how hard drugs have fucked my reward system. I dont seem to enjoy things in the same way as sober people. They get so excited about their hobbies and interests. I mean I work out and have productive hobbies but 80% it just feels like a routine. Like I'm just living the same day over and over.

    I could get new hobbies and do new things, but those too will eventually become old and monotonous. A temporary distraction.

    Maybe the connotation of the word distraction is making this more depressing than it needs to sound, but I don't mean it like that. It's just that objectively it seems like thats all humans try to do is distract themselves. Some do it destructively, others find a positive way to distract themselves, but its still a distraction in the end. Something you do because you want to be happier than you are.

    Maybe distractions are the key to happiness and I've just been picking the wrong ones, idk. It just seems kind of pointless to try and put yourself out there purely for the sake of the distraction. How is that any different of a coping mechanism than using drugs?


    They may be distractions at first, but then these activities just become a part of your life. A life where you get your highs from doing things that make you feel good. Those things become habit and a part of who you are, so they don’t remain distractions for long.

    Absofuckinglutely. These were things that I normally did, but took myself away from them when I got depressed. I isolate myself in my bedroom when I’m depressed. Won’t even answer the phone for good friends. It’s like I wanna wallow in my misery. Punishing myself and make myself feel the pain “I so deserve”.

    By forcing myself to GTFO, I begin to feel worthwhile again, and if I do it enough times, it becomes habit. I’m actually still in this process, and if it wasn’t for my husband, I’d probably never leave my house except to work.

    so basically you are still stuck in the "distraction" phase

    Everyone has goals If nothing else, to obtain the physical necessities of life: food, water and whatever clothing and shelter are made necessary by the climate. But the leisured aristocrat obtains these things without effort. Hence his boredom and demoralization.
    36. Nonattainment of important goals results in death if the goals are physical necessities, and in frustration if nonattainment of the goals is compatible with survival. Consistent failure to attain goals throughout life results in defeatism, low self-esteem or depression.
    37. Thus, in order to avoid serious psychological problems, a human being needs goals whose attainment requires effort, and he must have a reasonable rate of success in attaining his goals

    dude you sit in a room and rot all day and have no conception of the fact that you are wasting your life and have no ambition to do anything more

    Yes and no. I’m doing things I love to do again, and they’ll become part of me again. I’ve been landscaping my yard again, one of my favorite hobbies, but I quit doing it after I became ill and couldn’t walk normally. I’ve found ways around making sure I don’t fall down, and I’m back at it. I feel good that I beat the barrier stopping me. Little things like that, are a beginning for me.

    I was devastated after my illness. It took a highly active person, and left me unable to even go hiking; something I’ve loved doing. So I’m trying to incorporate new activities, I can do, as well as my other hobbies I can still do.

    I have to know it will get better. At least my psychologist tells me that😂

    I have food, water clothing and shelter.

    The reason you are unfulfilled is because you think you need all this extra junk just because you are a slave to advertising, desire and the secular world.

    Goals and material things are false happiness. I enjoy the experience of being alive for each moment and that's what makes me happy

    There you go with that negative energy again.

    This is why you make threads about depression and need help getting over things because you are drowning in negative energy and toxicity and your only solution is materialism and surrogate activities.

    Scron,
    Just because you’re happy living a simplistic life, doesn’t mean it’s a good fit for others. It takes a certain type of person to be content like you are.
    But for people with a predisposition for depression, being left alone to your thoughts can destroy you. I’m not telling him to acquire materialistic things, I’m telling him to get back into “life” again, on his terms.
