Although I don't know you, I'm guessing your suicide attempt failed as you WANTED it to fail. At the risk of sounding dark, there are many ways to off yourself that are basically 100% proof...but lets not go there. We want to live.

I'm glad you're still here though. I hope 2023 goes better for you than last year.

Happy New Year MinisterOfLust!

Yes, to all of those going through depression, I have sunk down in that hole and you have to crawl out. Find some way. I've found planning future trips and events to bring me out of depression. Anything that will force me out of the house.

What do you enjoy doing? Figure that out and do it. And find people with similar interests.
I like lifting, metal and storms but I don't meet anyone into this stuff. Everyone just wants to talk about football, politics or social media stuff. I don't even have a job and I only have one friend from a decade ago. I feel like there is just nothing to do anymore. Brb go to a job but people only talk about politics and football no thanks man

It's not easy as working aggravates my anxiety. I didn't have to take many anxiety meds at all when I was only working part-time as a partial stay-at-home Mom. I've had to also use skills I learn in therapy like scented lotions and essential oils to calm me down when I feel overwhelmed and stressed at work. They're called distress tolerance skills.

But I don't really have a choice given the bills there are to pay. I just did a budget and I need to figure out a way to decrease my spending.

My anxiety is so bad I can't even socialize though. You have to be able to Socialize with coworkers or they won't like you. It's already happened to me. I got ostracized and now I don't have a job.

My grandma has pretty bad alzeimers too so when we go over there to visit she doesn't remember much. Grandpa is acting depressed too. It's been awkward going over there lately.

Yeah you have to play the social game with them. That's why I liked working from home. People didn't give you the evil eye if you walked in late, you didn't have to come up with ideas of what to talk about in the water cooler, you didn't have to wake up 2 hours earlier to get ready, etc.

Even though they're retired it seems that older people are much more unhappier than working people. Their memory goes downhill as well with aging overall and with Alzheimer's.

It's that brutal time of the year again when Xmas hols are over, festivities are done and I am back to a 5 day working week for MONTHS. I usually have so much holiday towards end of year that I do a lot of 3-4 day weeks in Nov and Dec. I only have 25 leave days a year so can't blow too many in early year.

Ugh I know. I'm back to work today and I don't get any leave days except for holidays. We have to take off MLK and Juneteenth but my vendor won't pay for those days so they are unpaid holidays. At least I had 4 days paid during our 1.5 week shutdown.

I realized I've been spending so much on activities to offset my depression like my adventure club, sports events, concerts, traveling, etc. that I have to cut back this year when I looked at my budget and credit card debt. They're dopamine highs that bring you out of depression. When I'm not helping my family I would just sleep for hours on the weekends so this was a great way to get me out of that mode. But I can still look forward to activities without doing them every weekend.

Do you write your goals down for this year?

Do you have a gratitude journal?

I always have some goals but it doesn't matter if everywhere I go people just wanna talk about politics tv shows or be on their phones. It's depressing.

Why are you worrying about what other people do?

Focus on yourself and on your goals.

You are unique and you are more important than the other people

I want to echo this. Set goals and focus on achieving them. Make self improvement and expanding yourself as a person the priority. You slept 14 hours. You could have used some of this time to work on yourself.

Action is the enemy of depression.

It is. When I don't have things planned I'll just sleep for 14 hours as well. I have to force myself to do things on weekends or I'll just LDAR. I sign up for activities that aren't refundable so that forces me to go, but I usually internally complain until I get there and then I have a good time and realize that my depression has lifted. It's pricey to do this, though, but therapy is expensive as well.

There is plenty you could have done with that time; go on a long walk, read books, write a story, paint, build something small, clean your property, cook something, look at volunteering in local area, learn another language. We are all suffering from depression to some degree, but I believe you have a somewhat downer attitude in general and seem to get bored at everything way too easily.

Those are all great ideas. Volunteering really helped my depression as I met those who were in worse situations so I didn’t just think about my problems.
