Bread and Circus. What am I doing wrong? Lately I've been

Work harder, but not at something that doesn't pay off.

>>138169731
So just go for the money ?

Get enough so that you can be comfortable and one bad sitution won't put you out for good. It's not like it can get too much worse.

>>138169731
Will walking away from the screens improve my quality of life? I honestly don't even know what to do. Spend more time with family? My dog? Go for hikes or kayak?

I squeeze all of this stuff in. But nothing tops isolating myself and jerking off and watching/playing a favorite piece of media. Obviously depression is at work here but I don't want to focus on that.

There is a point where anything bwcomes too much.
If you are becoming depressed something is wrong, here. Whatever gets you out of that situation is what you need.

I've been like this for about 10 years with and without anti-depressants. I haven't found an answer in a decade.

Let's say I focus on working harder. I have money to burn after rent is paid and my stomach is full. I don't even know what I would pursue. A child to carry on my name? Or traveling? These things seem appealing but I know they would prove overwhelming. Turning 30 isn't far away and I feel like once that happens I'm totally fucked.

I'm no where near a kissless virgin. Just unsuccessful and struggling to find meaning.

>>138170688
Find what you love to do.
It might nit be a child, it might not be anything you've done before, but there will be something. I wish you luck.

>>138170688
Check your digits.
You know what to do

>>138171280
What do you love to do?

>>138172056
I like to do stupid shit in the hood with my friends.
Like doing Jojo poses at Papa Johns

>>138172270
Well thanks for wishing me luck before friend. I guess that question isn't easy for anyone

all LArping aside anon, at your age I was pissing almost every pay check up against the wall... ten years on I'm paying mortgage on an apartment I bought but don't currently live in, plus rent in a shithole. But I'm doing productive work, or so it feels like. 14 months ago I acquired an injury that I thought was a career ended, but I'm back in song nao. Don't sweat it. But my only advice is get your ass some property, even if it's just a flat..

Thanks anon. That's a start or at least something to ponder. Meaningful work would be fantastic too, I fear I'll never grasp it with my lack of skill sets and mental health issues. But everyone has to start somewhere I suppose. Even if it's later than most.
