Depressed working a 9-5

A. Stop being a whiny faggot. Develop a hobby that will give you confidence.

B. Lift. you're Six-Foot-Fucking-Four. You should be killing it.

C. Go read "CorporateLand" on the Sidebar. I have it on strong authority that that guy knows his shit.

We all have to pay our dues. If dealing with a shitty job for a year means you have a better one in another year, and on and on, it's totally worth it. As long as you don't hate where you'll end up.

Pay your dues. Make adjustments for your posture. Lift and eat better.

Whats your career?

Also, just because you may have graduated college, it doesn't mean you should stop education yourself and developing yourself. If you want to work less hours and make more money, don't expect your boss to magically give you 6 days pay for 4 days work. Don't bother with raises either. Your goal should be to improve your value to the company by increasing your knowledge bank. Read books related to yoir job, attend seminars, get little certifications here and there (no matter how small or pathetic it may be), engage your boss in conversations about the future of the enterprise. You want to be able to update your resume with new qualifications every 3 months or so. If you become more valuable to your company, you will deserve a better position and better pay. Better pay means less time on the job.

You should read the book called The Richest Man in Babylon

Start planning your next holiday, that always gets me out of my funk

Just maintain if your mind that's is just temporary as you figure the rest out. Everything is depressing if you feel it'll last forever. It's all mentality, brah.

What are you working as right now?

I know that this shit can become depressing very fast. Especially if you get paid just a little bit more than minimum wage or whatever. What motivates me is to have a goal in sight.

I started pretty late compared to my peers. I'm 23 and didn't archieve much yet. In germany there are a few things different. I dropped out of my last grade before finishing school and sat on my ass for almost 3 years home doing nothing but breathing. Now I need to do a 2 year so called vocational training before completing my degree and earning the right to study at any college or university.

My plan after the 2 years is it to get a degree in Business Management which will take 3 years again. Which means for the next 5 years I'll earn next to nothing. I will be 28 before I can "start" my career. Comparing myself to others makes me wanna kill myself for being so far behind everyone else..

So yeah, have a goal in sight. A version of yourself in the future. Otherwise this shit will drag you down.

Bro there’s some shit I’m not proud to admit that I’d do if I could magically become 6’4”. Quit wasting away a gift you were blessed with

Meditate! Start at 5 minutes everyday day then add 2 minutes whoever you’re ready to move up. Trust me on this.

Trots04 · 2018-12-05T23:03:56+00:00

Just got to rough it out, get some experience and learn some real world experience, then move on to better and bigger things

I know how you feel, but depression and anxiety are just passing like the storm. I found out if you want to eat, you need to work.

Unless you’re gay and find yourself a sugar daddy. ..

Musicgoon · 2018-12-06T04:05:24+00:00

Bro, you need to suppliment this shit with lifting and going out and spinning plates on your free time. Trust me, that will cure your woes. You don't have a mission. But now you do....😜

Radioactivebuny · 2018-12-06T04:43:37+00:00

If you have a goal, this serves the goal, and the goal is worth shoveling a little shit, there shouldn’t be a problem.

Hobbies help. Take up shooting if your country isn’t full of leaders your ancestors should’ve shot before it got to the point you’re at.

And most of all: have a goal.

Go very limited Contact with your toxic overbearing parents.

You're struggling with social anxiety or generalized anxiety at work and feeling overwhelmed. Talk to a professional counselor or psychiatrist.

Starting at 35k? That’s horrible, my older sister makes 2.5x that starting. What career and location are you in?
