frankly, i kind of feel like i'm losing my shit these days, increasingly.

i'm 30, and by every metric i've lived a fairly successful life so far. through hard work and luck, i have saved lots (lots) of money and i do not want anything. i live at home with my parents because i am frozen in place and constantly feel like i'm at the end of my rope and can't handle change.

i have an attractive gf of 6 years who is overall great and loves me and wants to live with me and i compulsively think about breaking up with her. some of the time i look at her i feel extremely uncomfortable.

i have a good job, well paying, easy enough, that i have been longing to quit for years.

i sometimes compulsively think that people have it out for me despite no indication of it. this guy i rarely see in my gf's extended friend group is so extremely, overly complimentary to me that i am convinced he actually loathes me. i thought my workplace had it out for me for years on and off, and then i got promoted multiple times. i overthink everything i say, and sometimes what other people say, until i am blue in the face.

i have things that are good and i want nothing and i want to drop everything and live in a hole in the ground. i'm so paranoid of losing what i have that it drives me even more to give it up voluntarily.

no one really knows any of this besides my parents to a smaller extent and they essentially think i need to stop overthinking things and be more grateful.

i am an extremely friendly person, albeit somewhat introverted and awkward, but not even remotely as much as this post makes me sound. i am a very normal seeming guy. to be clear, a lot of the time i am "fine" as in i am not thinking, but when i think, i seem to end up pretty deep down a hole.

i wonder sometimes if i am depressed or slightly schitzo or ocd and if it even matters. whatever i am is what i am after all.

Please talk to a psychologist. At the least you're very anxious.

This, walking in a forest is top-tier exercise, helps with stress, anxiety, depression and unfucks your body in general.
Also doomscrolling fucks you up, if phone is the first and last thing of your day, it messes you up.

I think the best think you can probably do now is to get out of your comfort zone more. Move out of your parents house just for the experience, you can always decide its not for you and move back in later. Try to find a passion to throw yourself into, and if it turns out not to be for you then thats okay, at least now you know. Become a regular at some new places and see if you meet any interesting people or witness any weird events you can tell as a stpry later.

I think its probably not uncommon when someones in your posititon to ferl that the only way is down. Just keep pushing forward and give yourself some new challenges and distractions.
