Life has begun to feel too complicated on all fronts. It's making me (what I think) is extremely depressed. I have no motivation to eat anything or do much of anything and over the last few days all I've really been enjoying is sleeping which I've been doing for hours at a time. I can no longer handle having to interact with people I'm not extremely close with, with having to search for work, with having to drive around and make my own food and pay bills and whatnot, I don't have the capacity for it. Is this truly just an endurance game where people see how long they can hold out until they blow their brains out? am I missing something? Has it always been like this or is the world now broken?

Do what you can do.
Calories are required to function, even the Buddha knew this with the rice cake.
Pick something, then make that the first thing to resolve. Once you have the first thing set, make a hit list of the rest.

This clip did help. Thanks anon. I should really just suck it up I guess.

Simple solutions aren't typically the answer anon. Not a matter of sucking it up, but rather try and zoom out and get the big picture and map it out. You could even write it out physically to dive into your problem solving skills.

Be a little easier on yourself, eat. You are your best friend, you gotta be nice to your best friend. He's always there for you.

I've tried the list strategy and it tends to overwhelm me with how much there is to do. I guess it feels like in the past few weeks something has broken inside me and it's getting difficult to force myself to do the things I used to be able to force myself to do. I've been studying Taoist philosophy like the Zhuangzi, you mentioned the buddha, any Buddhist texts you'd recommend?
