Depression

I live for myself and I deal with the same thoughts you do bud.

Life is a journey and some of us got the crappy route. What we do with what we learn from the route is entirely up to us. We've faced hardships that would crush most folks and we thrived because of it. The trick is to pass along that experience to those younger to help guide them into a path that is much better than ours was.

i'm not in your situation buddy, but after years of depression this year was one of the best for me, MGTOW was a revelation for me, not because of women, they never had been a problem for me... but i found that i could do wherever the fuck i want, that i could live for myself and i don't need to follow the social standard.

I might sound dumb, but this year found myself thinking of what can i do... for me! i have dedicated time for myself, i bought things that i don't needed, for me! i readed books, listen to music, played games, stayed in bed an entire day just wondering what i would eat that night, purchased a drone and dedicated some time to take pictures of my ass hole from the sky... who cares? me!

And to prove my own point to myself, i have seen photos of friend who are married and with children's, and they appear to had 10 year more than me!!!! this is the proof i needed for myself.

What i do to live for? i live for me, and it's awesome. you can do the same, learn to love yourself, you can do it, live for you ... i know it's not easy, but it's worth it when you start to get answers.

you are a man that can go your own way.

Tbh I'm living because I already invested money into different funds that won't pay out for a few more years, so like hell I'm going to kill myself and let the fucking bank or the goddamn government keep the returns on my investments. I fully intend to use every single cent before I die.

You should consider reading Ecclesiastes (12 pages)

Everything Is Meaningless

1 The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem:

2 “Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.”

When Soloman was made king as a young man, God came to him in a dream and told him to ask for anything and He would give it. Soloman asked for wisdom and was given it, he wrote Ecclesiastes when he was an old man.

edit: at the end of the book, he states the conclusion of the matter, and it isn't meaningless.

Also, dude named Bob Wells does 'living in a van' videos on YouTube (yeah, I know, quite a jump) but his friend recently took his life and Bob did a two-part video about death which I thought was thought provoking:

part 1 Embracing Death as an Ally and

part 2 Work Less--Dance More: Embracing Death for Your Best life

and lastly, here is a very short video from Johnny Osi - "Etched in Steel" (IWPS 2015) which gives another perspective.

Heard someone say, "I believe suicide does not end the pain, it only transfers it to the living." This seems true to me.

Perspective:

For me, without Jesus in my life, I would have become a hellion and you would not have wanted to know me or have me around. But Jesus has made all the difference.

I still ponder why I sometimes get depressed and the 'whats the point of life' feeling but I know they are lies and all things work together for good to them that love the Lord.

Life is meaningless until we decide what our meaning is. Many of us are alive based on accidental conception or being saved by the most meaningless of small acts. We're here, though. Take the energy, intelligence, and prosperity you have to apply it to something. Beauty, freedom, perfecting an art, inventing something that helps everyone, fighting an injustice... it can be anything. Believe in what brings you to the cause. The stoics say nothing is important but the mind, I have to disagree. This world that you and I share is worth exploring, keeping, and improving. Good luck. Message me anytime.

Meh, life does occasionally give something that's not bad, so why not stay around and see. It'll be over soon anyway, +-80 years?

I hear you Brother. I get depressed, suicidal even, at times, and it is only the hurt I would cause my kids, family and few friends that stops me. My work sucks and I am earning less than I was when I was young. But then again I do ghost so living is cheap. And I am not my job.

One of my kids wants an expensive education which I currently cannot afford. At my most suicidal, I was considering the best way to die at work, as my kids would end up with more money then. Would they rather an easy way to a good education or a real, living father. I am not my bank account.

Change is hard. I pray that things will change financially, but just cannot whore myself out to some employer for 80 hours a week. I work less hours and am able to be with my kids.

I felt powerless with the whole lefty socialist sjw feminist world. I do not feel valuable. I seem to not be able to break free of the trap. I come up with ideas but can never get anything off the ground. Except selling my sweat to some capitalist. You might say I am a dreamer.

I joined a political party and have been funneling some of my creative energies in that direction. Some would call that a distraction. But I am over new careers or trying to revive long dead ones. I am ok today and that is what matters.

It's good to avoid women as it saves time and money. But I have to admit I hate work. I have no skills and even if I did most jobs would still bore me or just be exhausting (either mentally or phsyically). The only thing I like is art and music but that can't pay the bills. At least guns are cheap under Trump.
