Feeling depressed

Practical advice. How long since your last holiday/time off? You sound burnt by societal expectations.

Hope it helps.

The more professional you are, the more your career advances, and the more professional you have to be.

The other option is live in a teepee and kick around a hackey sack and smoke weed maaaaann....

Which ever you want. Most people shoot for the middle. I bailed the fuck out because fuck riches. Being a millionaire ain’t shit. Keep your lifestyle low enough and a dollar is actually worth something. I have heat and electricity, so I figure that’s alright.

Wealth is time.

Rich is things.

Go for time.

The more you’re willing and able to work, he better off you are. Just keep the lifestyle low.

Or bow out entirely, which you can do cheaply, but don’t go full retard and start demanding free shit from people who work and pay taxes because you’re a little bitch.

Consider this: You are better off than probably 99% of the people on this planet.

Also, remember to take time out. Go and camp in a forest for a couple of weeks, and stay away from social media and other distractions.

Meditate.

No need to despair. It looks like you are doing great.

So why do you think you are going to lose your current job? Maybe that's not such a bad thing. I'm sure you can get an even better job if you start looking one.

Regarding "feeling burned out and tired of the fake world," you have to find your path in life that makes you happy. One of the most amazing advantages of MGTOW is that we don't carry dead weight, so we can do anything we want. We don't face the pressures of having to feed a family, make time to entertain a 300-lbs wife, or work as a slave to "keep up with the Joneses."

We can easily move from one place to another and do whatever we want. So you should take advantage of that. You can make your dreams come true and pursue your passions. Think about that!

Ask yourself this simple question: what do you desire in your life?

Don't answer with what your knee-jerk reaction of "what I can do" or "what I should do". You have to think about it for a while, clear out the noise in your head, and seek the ultimate goal. What do you desire in your life?

Get a sun lamp and sit under it for a couple of hours a day when you get home from work. Better yet exercise in its light while you're watching TV. SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) is a real thing in the northern hemisphere at this time of year.

If you have social media and if it's not obligatory for work, get rid of that shit. I only use reddit/YouTube. Been almost 2 years since I deleted my social media platforms when I was 25. I'm now 27 and feel SO much more level minded and content with daily life.

Yeah I still get the lows from living in a blue pilled matrix, has been hitting me pretty hard lately as well actually. But, I know things will continue to get better if I choose to keep building into the future and become the best man I can be not for the validation of others, but for myself.

Just be you, King. No fake shit.

Sounds like you just need to find the thing you love. You're in a position to do so because of your job though, so try not to relax in your free time but explore hobbies. It sounds a but unfair cause no down-time, but if you want to feel better then you have to put a bit into finding out what you like. I've personally been out of the professional world for a year now, but if I ever had to go back to it, I'd know it was all to put on a faker smile than them and just earn the big bucks while happily living a life I want outside of those hours.

I am 25 and I got the same problem back in the days when I was 20-23

I solved it by finding out what I want in life where I want to go and what are my goals Now I have a good life I work for my goals and I'm very happy I found my place on earth wehre I want to stay

I found it out by travel around the world I meet a tonn of new ppl got many connections I got a bigger few by doing this First it was hard to travel alone but in the end it was my best idea 😅 hope this helps you

Good luck

Afraid, hopeless and burnt out?

Bro, you need some TLC for yourself

Get a massage, have a long weekend, do something soothing.

Your in the position I get into when I want to use drugs, that’s a no no lol

Do something for yourself, purely selfish.

Also, if this is recurring, consider professional help

I remember feeling like this after college. You are definitely not alone in this, man. What ended up helping me was to take on a totally different line of work for ten years. I started a carpentry business so I could work with my hands and have something physical as end product to say, look what I made and how beautiful it is. Changed my whole mindset. Now I teach adults and love my job.
