A while back, I started a thread on /bant/ where I rambled a bit about my struggles and my inability to imagine a future for myself. A moderator closed the thread and gave me the number for a national helpline, for which I’m very grateful. However, I still don’t know what to do about it: I lack the motivation and will to live that I need to strive for change in general. I know I should go to a mental health clinic to address whatever is driving me insane as soon as I can, but I find myself in a state of deep defeatism and discouragement, and I’m no longer quite sure what to do. I know there are many reasons not to give up, but I’m simply too depressed to get my life in order. That's why I'm asking if any of you have been through this and how you got through it. What was the turning point that led you to decide to change your life and seek help?
what’s the story?
>>34430165>A moderator closed the thread and gave me the number for a national helplineWe are no different from Reddit anymore. What world do we live in where you can't even communicate with other human beings before you're shipped off to Sheckleberg Correctional Facility and prescribed 15 different drugs which cost $100 per day and you post pictures of in your hand on r/mildlyinfuriating?
>>34430165there isn't a single answer thats going to work across all people, anon. (faith, obligation, love, hope, etc)it has to resonate with you, whatever it is. However, unless you are in some sort of hurry, or have an impending pressure like declining health, then time is the dimension you can lean on the most.Meaning; you're having trouble now, but there's nothing that says you will always have trouble across all time. You may not find the magic key to the city, so to speak, for weeks or months, or ever. But time passes, and your perspective and your circumstance absolutely can change to something you can't see from where you are now.
>>34430209true, if I were a mod I would just tell op to kill himself. >>34430165 kys faggot
Maybe you're just going through a rough patch. Try going out and meeting new people.
