/ck/ I need some help to get out of the rut I've worked

Read some self help books
Start exercising
See a therapist
Confide in family and friends
Look for another job
Get some hobbies

This low energy problem goes beyond /ck/ and into the realm of depression.

Self help books are just a 100 pages of 'LOVE YOURSELF' or 'Just do it already.'

Exercising is something I used to do but since I failed AOSB, it reminds me of failure.

If I go to see a therapist they'll say I'm depressed and I won't be able to own firearms again. I had to give up shooting and sell them before moving to where I am and I want to get back into it one day but can't while I'm here.

I have no friends, my parents know and they're very supportive but ultimately it's all 'We're proud and love you even though you're a failure.

I'm doing this but I'm still working this one until the end of the month and can't think of much when I'm outside of work.

I had hobbies, I either can't do them here or just can't get the energy to do them.

Yea, self help books are bullshit. I feel you on the firearms/therapy, thing. It all depends on how deep you are right now. If you think you can get out of this rut without therapy, do it. If not, you might just have to give them up. What's more important, your mental health, or guns? Having no friends kind of sucks, but having a supportive family doesn't. Though I can understand the whole "We love you no matter what" speech. I'm sure that can be even more depressing than if they tried snapping you out of it. Keep up looking for a job, that is your gateway to new healthy friends and relationships. With that, new activities and hobbies may arise. And during this process, you should be exercising. That's the best thing you can be doing in the meantime. It will only remind you of failure if you keep failing at it. Once you reach any goals you set for yourself, it won't feel that way anymore. You'll have more energy, and overall feel better both physically and mentally.

That's all the input I have on your situation. All the best, dude.

Just do different shit.

Cook some shit you haven't made or learn something new that you'd enjoy.
Doing the same thing over and over is what causes a bunch of folks to kinda check out on life.
I'm practicing piano on a keyboard and am having a ball doing it.
I picked up cooking this year on a whim and am having fun just making shit I thought only other people could.
Its easy to sit still and feel shitty, but there's always an apex point on doing it.

TLDR; do some new shit nigga.
(Make homemade pizza dough if you haven't before. Cast iron pan pizza is tits.)
