There is one Rule above all others that always gives me hope, and that is “ everything is temporary”. This too will pass. It will come and go. Hitting rock bottom in life is always a good thing because things can only but get better. What to do next is to keep calm and carry on. Life is difficult for almost everyone and it nothing personal, it’s just how things are. Am not a religious person but Buddhism 4 noble truths help explained my suffering at the time as it made a lot of sense to me. Plus meditation also helped put my mind in a good place. And eventually when situations changed around me my mind was in a good place to carry on.

So hang tight, don’t think too much, things will change. Carry on.

Im in your same shoes...6 months might be homeless...My own brother attacked me in march and fractured my Hip bone and didnt go to hospital because It was the start of covid so I stayed home and suffered and healed alone for 4 weeks of painful nights...I had a small blood infection due to bone fracture which I got through in 3 days of fever...God sometimes can only be found when we have nothing in this world...

If things get difficult, I decrease my view to a single point and all the rest becomes noise. What do I need to do now to move 1 step forward? Then I work towards that step. When I finish that, I look at the next step.

These are the things you need to do right now: Go full minimalist. Only buy VERY cheap food that fills well. You do not need lights in your house to live. Clothing can go you for 10 years so no omre new clothes. etc etc.

What products do you not really need? Soap, cologne, toothpaste, etc. All useless for your current situation. Drop it all. ( I haven't used soap in 6 years btw and I smell just fine. The only thing you need to clean yourself is running water )

Think about things you can sell off. This is just to cover your bases just in case the shit REALLY hits the fans.

Then, you start throwing application at ANY job you can find, even if it is garbage man/toilet cleaner/etc. Now is NOT the time to have an ego!!!!!!!!! Ego is overrated, you are a man, and a proud man goes through the mud!

Also check if the government might give you some benefits because you have been laid off. ( depends on which country you are in. Check for a union that might help you out. )

Last but not least... make a dream. Something to work towards. What is it you want to build in life? This will be your anchor. I'll bet, that you can think up a great dream. I want you to show it to me!

If you are seriously thinking about committing suicide, I’d recommend taking out a huge loan. Then go live in a country where it’s super cheap. Fuck it, at this point what does it matter right? Worst that can happen is you get arrested but what does it matter when you’re willing to kill yourself.

Imagine yourself 5 years down the road. Ask yourself what would you have wished to be doing in this moment. Laugh, plan, work hard..

Your life and outlook might look very very different in 5 years time. While in my 20’s, I was at a very different place. Hang in there and get past these hard times.

Don't let them win bro, we need you

life sucks !!!! many times many times and today so many people are down because of the situation

you need to find the strength to pass this moment, and keep fighting

you need to find new objective outside of just survival , of course you are not in the best place to think with a clear mind right now, but try to take a step back look at the big picture and define for yourself a new meaningful goal for you

and you will have a reason to fight and keep going, hard time is here and it is far from over, become tougher in your head there is still plenty of good for you to finally find peace and contentment

dont be afraid to make a goal that will completely change the course of your life and future

for example my goal right now is to save a max of money and at the end go live in the countryside and grow my own found and find a completely different type of job there

Noone has come back from dead to tell that it was all good hunky dory on the other side..so committing suicide because of some temporary life issues is a crap idea. Always keep your loved ones and family ( parents) in mind.the hurt they gonna bear

Got my child taken away from me when he was just 1.5 months old baby. Got falsly accused of DV and other horrible false cases..got hammered in the family court and made to pay heavy monthly maintainence amt. Saw endless countless oppertunities in job flying by due to court cases...non stop and regular harrassment by court and police...list of sufferings is endless..

Everyone has a backstory..All are getting by... time changes..everything is temporary.

Your gonna die...but not today no today and tomorrow you survive because men survive and so will you

Please understand it's not the events that are making you depressed, it's yourself. You are not helping yourself by putting yourself down and people have gone through much worse. So change your thoughts, believe life is worth living and it will be. Here are some bad thinking styles you should avoid, predicting the future, mind reading. catastrophizing, saying should, overgeneralizing, ignoring the positives and labelling.

Life's struggles can be stones that you slip from or stepping stones to greatness.

Please understand you are conditioned to be depressed because you learnt it. I do not know where you got it from but instead question your thoughts, educate yourself with books, search for analogies that relate to your situation, indulge in humour relating to your problems, get some self-help and reverse the roles in your situation.

I am happy to help you with your times. Please create a higher purpose to make life worth suffering for. (Fredrich Nietzsche talks about this)

Everyone here suffers but in life, we just give our suffering meaning. Let's give it a good meaning, shall we? It's not your shoes that are making you down, is it? It's probably those red shoes.

Funny jokes:

At least I will not have to pay taxes on my job.

Well, failing smailing, maybe next time I will shout spaghetti the next time I fail.

Damn, I suck at these jokes, maybe I should just hang myself. (Get it?)

Sorry for being damn insensitive but you get the point.

Definitely reach out to a close friend and explain what’s going on. Have a good hard 1 to 1 convo to a close mate & lay it all on the table. 2 heads are always better than one and it’ll give you an outsiders perspective of your situation. If you’re not interested in talking to friends, try a counsellor.

Suicide is never the answer brother... Sounds like you’re in a shit situation & I know the feeling mate.. Take it day by day. Take some time out to rethink what you want, what you’re inspired by, what you’re truly passionate about and chip away at it with baby steps. You might’ve lost your job, but think of it as one door closes and eventually another one will open 👍🏼 2021 will be your year.

skippydammit · 2020-12-13T13:08:40+00:00

The simple FACT that you are writing this post shows that you are NOT a "failure". Failures f*ck up by NOT reaching out to those who might be able to help. NOT re-inventing the wheel by asking other successful (see what I did there? YOU = successful) guys what to do is a first step in a successful journey. Hang in there. Hold on. Move forward while resisting the urge to look backward. Your successful future is just ahead. Continue to take small steps which become a walk which becomes a steady pace at YOUR achievement comfort success level.
