Seriously I need help Sup Forums. I have zero motivation for anything. I got fired from a good paying job about six months ago since then I'm in a major rut. I have no energy or motivation to look for meaningful work. I have worked shitty temp jobs here and there to get by but nothing long term. I sleep in late, I drink a lot, fap, that's about it. The idea of filling out job applications and updating my resume just overwhelms me. I lie all the time that I am looking for work, but I'm not. I really want to work I just feel something is wrong with me.

Try lexapro and some speed

Imagine that life is a nigger, and punch it. Never give up, or else nigger wins.

And don't do drugs, not even weed.

This

Did you ever smoke spice...? It will do that to you.

Sounds like you're a real live nigger

I don't don't do any drugs, except alcohol. I'm having a hard time not drinking because i can't keep myself busy. Obviously I think I'm majorly depressed but not sure what to do. Life is just overwhelming, but no I'm not going to kill myself.

can relate..

try forcing yourself to go for a walk. get some light weights and do curls, push ups, sit ups.

when you use energy you tend to have more energy. also sleeping and eating habits will totally fuck with your energy levels and general mood.

basically when you feel your life is not in your control it feels terrible. you can't control everything but make an attempt to make constructive choices and stick to them. psychologically it will make you feel better.

that's good advice I might have to at least force myself to walk around outside. It suckes because everyone in my family looks down on me and tells me what I should be doing they don't understand it's not that easy.

I do the weed every day and the only problem that I find is that it's hard to get up in the morning (but it's usually hard anyways so fuck it). Have a steady job that I enjoy for the first time in my life and everything has been going good, getting lots more girls than I ever have, gained a ton of confidence....all ever since I started smoking weed
>not saying weed will fix your entire life

But what I'm saying is for me weed has had a positive impact in my life....so far

Try smoking weed
See

develop the greedy and egoistic part of your personality

if others give you shit start hating them for their weakness

welcome, youre a psychopath now and youve found new meaning

Not op but in op's position. I tried this, over the months I have worked up to biking about 10+ miles a day, changed my eating to more healthy habits, fap less, stopped drinking, etc.
Nothing has helped at all. I feel so much worse.

Weed for me was a good thing because it opened my social circle so much
>pretty much loner
>Only one friend left over from high school
>start smoking weed with him
>meet other people who smoke (super easy)
>smoke
>have a good time 100% success rate
>more friends
>those friends have friends
>smoke with friends friends and now I'm friends with them too
>mfw smoking made me popular
>girls I've fucked went from 1 girl in 18 years to 7 girls in less than a year

well sometimes people do need antidepressants. if you don't want to go that route...exercise, a healthy diet (and eating at regular schedule) and regular sleeping habits will change some shit.

honestly forget about your family at the moment if they're not going to be helpful or emotionally supportive when you need it.

maybe you can work on your resume at your local library? then you can have a different environment when you search for work (your resume, go online to find openings etc). at least you'll feel like you're in a constructive environment where things happen.

set a schedule if you have to.

9am eat shower shit shave etc etc

10-2 look for work or spend time at library for same thing

chill...if you worked hard that day, reward yourself with something you like that's cheap. ice cream, a used cd or movie from the record store or whatever (for positive psych reinforcement...it will get the good juices flowing in your brain and make you WANT to work hard again).

people are social creatures. hang out with a friend. movies, hike in local park, fishing, museum, concert.

or go to a park by yourself. nature rejuvenates the soul.

then go see a doctor for advice, dude. if the normal shit isn't working then they can give advice or prescribe something until you get your shit straight. just please be careful and do research on the drugs they try to give you.

these drug companies don't want to cure you anymore, they just want you reliant on their product the rest of your life.

I work 6 days a week and still smoke, your point?

Alcohol is a fucking drug you idiot

Try not to fap so much, I used to drink and get high while fapping to porn. It became my reward system for a long time to the point that is all I lived for to fap and use. I couldn't even fuck like a normal person unless I had drugs and porn. It was tough at first but giving up porn has changed my life!

no one can give up porn.

I recommend seeing a psychiatrist instead of taking advice from Sup Forums
One thing that helps me is to envision life you want to create fro yourself, then decide what you need to do to become the person who would live that life. It's achievable for everyone

you live with your mom? If the answer is "yes", then that's your problem.

this. you can really fuck with your seratonin/dopamine levels

also motivation is bullshit. You need to form constructive habits. Motivation is just a feeling like happiness or sadness. It goes away, and if your life is dependent on it, you're fucking yourself over. Do something small, like start with making your bed every single day, and move on to bigger things

Motivation is not bullshit. A person with motivation issues won't even attempt to do small things because... why bother?

i mean motivation is not sustainable

Read bartleby the scrivener

When I'm depressed I know I have to force myself to do the things that will make me feel better later, even though they won't be satisfying. This resonates with that I've experienced. Going through the motions is necessary before I can even get to a place where I can enough anything.

Er enjoy anything

Of course not... but it can be a huge problem. The first step is always the hardest one. Motivation alone is not enough most of the times. Like when you want to start the gym but you don't raise a finger unless a friend comes with you.

im in the same boat bro. got a math degree and research/analytics experience. got fired from my last job just before my 3 month probation was up for literally no reason -- mostly likely they dont want to pay benefits and used me to do a few things and then will hire someone else to continue.

right now i just wash dishes at some restaurant. get a bit of tips which aint so bad, so maybe it works out to $15 / hour?

ive completely stopped looking for a job and deleted all my social media, linkedin too. i just cant do it anymore. customizing resumes and cover letters all day just to be fucking rejected. i think im gonna move to a small town and work in a kitchen there since its a cheaper lifestyle usually. i just dont want to be apart of this rat race society anymore, it's such a fucking struggle.

anyway back to vidya games and getting stoned and drunk.

Ive been there user drank myself into an ulcer and a pill problem. Quit it all cold turkey no AA NA or any of that gay shit. Started taking vitamins and excising. Now i feel great and look good. Just show some discipline and stop feeling sorry for yourself. I know its easier said than done but u gotta do it.
