imdoinfHow did you push yourself to do this, I know this is the answer but it’s just so god damn hard to get myself out of the rutt
Tbh I don’t know really. You really just have to force yourself to do it. There’s no quick fix like cold showers or no fap and it’s a long process and takes a lot of time to pay off. There are still things I want to improve about myself that I know are gonna take tons of work. But the trick is to just get some momentum going. Positive change causes into positive change and it’s a feedback loop.
Biggest trick is to just get involved in some sort of healthy community. That’s what really helped me out a lot when I was first starting. Depression is a form of self centered ness so belonging in some community is a good way to help break out of it

hey man relaxi wont say anything else on this matter because it isnt something someone can be persuaded to do
there is a crossroads: you live the rest of your life miserable wanting to kill yourself (until you do through some long-term means that doesnt appear to look like suicide even though you subconsciously willed it to happen), or you begin to learn and dont stop until your final breath (as painful as the learning may become at times)
the choice is our own, unless you dont believe in free will
maybe you believe in reincarnation, and think youll get another chance to do all this over again (and reach what some say is enlightenment). but do you really want to take that chance? others say this is our only shot
What do you mean by learn? Learn what?

What do you mean by learn? Learn what?
read literature that predates western culture, this is where i would say to start (or if you dont want to buy and read it all just look up videos explaining them)
learn how to a***yze film, the greatest films tells us a lot about our nature and intent as people (careful which youtube videos you look up for this, as many never get down to the important parts of a***ysis and just stick to the surface-level discourse)
learn about metaphysics, stripping reality down to its core (big picture)
most important thing of all is to learn how to lead an honest life, not saying you dont already. we of course can get away with lying if we choose, but others have the ability to lie as well, so it may not be in our best interest
i say all this with slight hesitance, as the whole point is that me telling you what to do is defeats the whole purpose. you were told what to do your entire life, you should choose for yourself
