>>84042873Well, you can't just build a life on a shaky foundation, can you?Tell me about your childhood.
Have you tried fingering your own asshole ye
>>84042873have u been diagnosed with anything?something like bipolar or borderline or etc etcdoesn't really care how well you got it goin on XD
>>84042885I'm comfortable with what happened when I was a kid. I really used to not be okay with it but at the end of the day we all have a traumatic childhood because being a kid is traumatic. My parents did their version of what they thought was best and didn't exactly have the best role models themselves. I live a comfortable distance from my biological family and never see them or visit which helps me cope too.>>84042895I don't like butt stuff.
>have a satisfying relationship with GodYeah low IQ tends to correlate with low overall life satisfaction across the board
>>84042913In order to lift myself up I had to stop putting other people down, I hope you eventually feel the same way. If this really is the one life I have I'd rather spend it looking for meaning like we're genetically engineered to do rather than pushing that part of my biology down.
>>84042912>never see them or visit>still depressedI see that as related. That's a literal depression of your social life, and so it only makes sense that it translates to an emotional depression.
>>84042958I'm perfectly comfortable with my relationship to my family. We work best with a comfortable distance between us. I tried to force something between us that wasn't there and it led to me actually being unhappy with it, I'd say since never seeing them I've had the most positive opinion of my family I've ever had.
>>84043025Visit them once a year. Consider it a trip to the zoo. Dr. 4chan's orders
>>84043039Well what's your relationship with your family like?
>>84042873>Wahhh, I'm depressed!>BTW I have succeeded in all major aspects of Life.>Meanwhile most depressed people haven't even started one.I'm not saying you're not depressed, I'm saying what the fuck does it matter if you can make everyone around you happy and you're stable and secured (as much as one can reasonably be). I'm not depressed anymore, but damn, I much rather be depressed than stupid like you. Even if this is a Larp, it's a dumb one, self-defeating one.
>>84043072I would like to enjoy being alive.
>>84043076You cannot have everything. Enjoy being miserable instead. I mean it, enjoy it.
>>84043046I'd have my own reasons for never talking to any of them ever again if I made some up, but it's like you said, if they "didn't exactly have the best role models themselves," then it's on you and me to be those role models. My relationship with my family is that I paid for my dad's lawyer when he was arrested for possessing meth."The child is the father of the man." -Wordsworth
>>84042885retarded shit picture by pseuds, for pseuds>>84042873maybe you should enjoy your depression
>>84043105Erm you shouldn't call people pseuds when you're illiterate
>>84043113nlp is, in fact, exactly for pseuds>but this one is-if you're not getting the trivia reference then just be silent
>>84043128Still illiterate ! Use capitalization, you ugly dork.
>>84042873>>married to my best friendHave you considered you might not be gay?
>>84042873>>still as depressed as when I was 9depression is an illness, you have to rewire some stuff in your brain to fix it, having a "satisfying" life is not the cure
judeo christian religions are power structures designed to manage the unwashed masses, it bringing you any happiness is just buying the advertising/gaslightingmost people don't really connect on a meaningful level, the fact you're posting this here instead of saying it to your "best friend" wife or any of your other friends is very telling and indicates you're probably putting up a "haha im not depressed" front for their benefit and trying to just shout down your own needshaving a job CAN be fulfilling but isn't inherently and if you don't feel like you're really DOING anything there's really no way you can actually gaslight yourself long term about thatexercise is good and it means you're good at establishing and maintaining routines but it's one piece of a puzzle with many other pieces gnarled or missingfind a hobby or side gig doing something you find meaningful whether it be making something physical with your hands like woodworking or helping out others through charity worksit down and have a long conversation with your wife and tell her that it's not her fault but you've been afraid to be honest about some things (depression) and you just want to get some things off your chest and get the validation you need from a loved one right now that everything is okay and your depression is not a burden to anyone who truly loves youyou can keep believing in skydad if you really want but go down the rabbit hole of why you believe it, pascal's wager is inherently flawed because god knows your thoughts so if you have unconscious doubts it is just lying and that's a sin and you go to hell... it's altogether better to accept there is no hell and come to terms with your inevitable death instead of avoiding it like a scared childtldr: grow up, handle your life and relationships with more honesty and maturity t. god
