I've completed all the goals that people suggest to rudderless depressed losers. I am in great shape, eat healthy, sleep well, have a job, save money well, got a drivers license, bought a car, etc. In the past I've even tried the scam that is therapy and medication.I still wake up every morning wanting to die and thinking that life is a burden. None of things I've accomplished have had any positive effect on the way I feel. How am I supposed to enjoy life like others seem to?
>>34535915Self improvement doesn't work, anon. Neither do your genes, for that matter. It's all about being born with dumb luck. Or maybe some of us are just cursed, I dunno.
By figuring out what you really like instead of ticking those basic bitch boxes.
My girlfriend is a clinical psychologist. She works as a therapist. She’s playing Slay the Spire 2 in the room with me. I just read this thread to her, and she said>clarify your own goals and values rather than blindly following generic advice that worked for other people
>>34536836Can you ask your gf what my desire to sniff a woman's butthole means?
>>34536836NtaEasier said than done.I tried that and I spent a lot of money on something I thought I really wanted to do and I just didn't care. >Instead ofAll the stuff he mentioned is like basic self care that anyone should do. I think "and" is better than "instead" here. No therapist is going to tell someone NOT to try and get better sleep lol. I get where OP is coming from. I definitely have defined values but not defined goals. It's hard to want anything when you're convinced you'll never get what you want anyway.
>>34536945>defined values but no defined goalsThis. They always tell you to be happy not asking for things. Well what that nihilistic buddhist bullshit translates into is turning things that should make you happy into numbness.From what I've noticed personally, the only antidote for that is to do things ever more crazy. Only that will give the spark to a fried amigdala at that point. I guess doing hookers is a start.
>>34536954The hookers'll just make you feel bad man. Don't do that. I tried that kind of thing, engaging in risky behavior because why the hell not in my mid-late 20s and regret most of it.
