As in no motivation, no will, completely dead inside, too tired and too depressed to do anything, brain is stuck in PTSD mode all the time, etc etc. how do you manage? Especially if you have no one or anything to turn to and with a shitty economy everywhere to boot?
Start doing long walks at the park.
Keep the house clean and tidy.
Learn how to cook complex and tasty dishes.
Take long hot showers before going to bed and not use your pc/phone/TV right before bedtime.
Do some volunteering in the weekend.
Take a pet.
Get some hobby.
Start random conversations with people.
Chat with coworkers.
Anyone doing all this has won life in my book. I can’t do half this shit.
The trick is to stop thinking what a pain it is to do the thing and just doing it with an empty head.
Also, fuck critical thinking. If you’ve done the thing, then it’s good enough. Fix will come later, if any.
I hate to comment but, exactly as the other person has said: you’ve already won life, congrats.
“Just don’t think about anything bro, just get up and do stuff, be normal, enjoy life bro.”
“Sir, I don’t have any limbs, everything around me is on fire, there are people constantly screaming, threatening, and screeching at me over things I have no control over, I’m actively drowning in shitwater in a barrel that I’ve been forcefully shoved into without my consent, my brain is completely rotted and numb and full of worms eating away at me, I feel nothing but misery and pain, and the entire fucking world refuses to let me exist in peace and wants me to rot for all of eternity for not being born specifically white, cis-male, and wealthy. Kindly explain how the fuck I’m supposed to do any of what you’ve just said from here??”
“Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps, go take a walk or something, stop thinking bro.” Proceeds to leave with no further elaborations.
This wise holy wisdom has fully cured all the mentally ill on the planet instantaneously, thank you mentally stable and well off model citizen, very cool, being completely tone deaf at everything will surely help us all and not contribute to the problem in anyway.
“Why are you homeless? Just go get a house stupid” type of energy. If only it were actually that simple and straightforward, none of us would be struggling with anything. Just go and enjoy your life man.
I think that my last comment may have been a bit misinterpreted. The meaning was.
1 - Don’t be discouraged by the idea of “HAVE TO DO” something. Just start somewhere and go on bit at the time without thinking too much about it.
2 - Don’t force yourself to run behind great ideals of perfection and let the idea of failing block you.
Now, that said. Did I think to know how hard may be for another person to work their problems out? Absolutely not.
“Normal” is a Fucking weird concept who changes all the time. Just be you.
The “enjoy” part is something that should gradually come along as you find things you like to do. At least, this is my opinion on it.
“Now, that said. Did I think to know how hard may be for another person to work their problems out? Absolutely not.”
Then why are you here?
“I’m asking a question on the internet but will flame you for giving an honest answer”
Then why are you here?
Bro, we all have our problems and circumstances. What i was saying was, that i don’t underestimate yours. What I have given you was some honest suggestions. Some of which i have tried myself in the past, and that I honestly think may help.
