Is anyone else getting really depressed now

That is depressing to me, but for other reasons.

You're not the first person to feel this way, and I notice a common theme is that the meaning of life seems to be based on "wife and kids" and all that.

Like you have literally nothing other biological purpose to exist except to engage in a government contract and breed to make more little humans.

I guess to me, that's depressing, as that's supposed to be the only thing in life? To be locked down in a, if trends so anything, sort of treading water situation to grow a couple little sprogs and then what? Die?

I never really saw that for myself, it just seemed kind of pedestrian and boring. Very ground hog day.

There is an entire, huge, planet you will never come close to fully experiencing the totality of, just waiting for you to exploit everything it offers to explore, learn, experience, and sense.

Mountains to climb, cities to listen to noises in, foods to experience, languages to hear, deserts to lie back in and look up at the galaxy the planet is wizzing around. There's a multitude of mind boggling experiences. You won't be able to do them all.

Make friends, go exploring, have adventures.

I would much rather do that then change diapers, then worry about Jr's grades, them bail him out of jail for stealing cars, then bury him from a heroin overdose if what's left of the money the wife didn't take affords a pine box.

I don't know, everyone has their own dreams. But life can be experiencing things. It doesn't only have to be nutting in a girl and having a trophy for birth control failure.

This is the problem with so many movies that constantly pushed the babies, wife, and church narrative. It locks the young mind into such a limited way to be. It's such an exclusive and difficult things to do billions have done it before.

Who knows, you can always marry a girl and knock her up, but you can't always adventure the world and everything it has.

But to each their own.

You still have my sympathies. Everyone wants what they want and it hurts when they don't get it.

There comes a time when accepting the idea of no meaning or purpose brings peace. As many guys say here, seek out things that you enjoy or that might interest you. Hobbies, etc. Learn new skills. Read more. Take up hiking.

I went through a severe depression for years when I realized that I wouldn't achieve my dream of being a famous/professional musician. I felt like I had no purpose. After a malaise that lasted several years, I finally found peace with it. I cultivated my other interests, and took up hobbies/activities that I had talked about for years, but had never done (e.g. weight lifting, martial arts, learning a new language). It really made a difference.

The purpose of life can be whatever you make it. For many of us, it is to seek out the things we enjoy and to do them.

Keep your head up man. This depression and lack of purpose can, and does, pass.

Sorry to hear.

Personally, I’m pretty content with life. I never wanted kids, so that doesn’t feel like some void that needs filled. Maybe a dog someday, but my yard is too small for the kind I would like. If having kids is something you really want, you might have to look into other avenues besides MGTOW.

How old are you? I remember being a student and life sucked back then. It will pass. I know those words can feel hollow, but they’re true.

Read the “No zero days” reddit post. It’s solid stuff.

Yeah, I'm working too and seeing my freedoms easily stripped away and America become the Soviet Union and not being able to do anything about it has me hopeless. I'd like to watch a movie or play a game to escape when I'm not working like I used to but everything is fucking "woke" so I can't stomach it.

I stick to old movies and shit but there's nothing to look forward to anymore. Nothing. Everything is woke and it will not change due to weak willed men who allowed SJW's to ruin everything.

Learn to embrace an abundance of short term/sensory satisfaction without sacrificing long term goals.

Comedy
Cooking
Hobbies
Movies/TV/podcast

Long-term advise take the empty time to open up the emotional box and sort it out so it doesn't burry you.

But really just accept than when we are gone that's it. (If your religious that's fine; but to me it's entering nothing) find your meaning of life. For me it's everything I can touch/taste/see/feel/hear and all the experiences in-between.

Why wouldn't you be depressed?

Lots of people are depressed. Chasing artificial prestige in the hope of becoming happy. But nobody is happy in this fake world based on lies and illusions.

Everyone has been stripped away of freedom and 'purpose'. You think people have freedom? They're all enslaved by their senses consuming products that are designed by researchers desiring to keep you coming back to them. It's clown world as we know it

Phantom_Spark · 2020-05-13T22:18:18+00:00

You don’t have things you enjoy on a day to day basis? Hobbies that you spend time and energy on? And not something that you do occasionally. I mean something that you could spend weeks at a time on and be passionate about!

MeagoDK · 2020-05-13T22:48:29+00:00

Kinda, the worst part is no gym tbh. First month was okay but no I can't sleep properly and my body is full of energy. I have been working out with body weight everyday for an hour plus an hour walk/run. Dosent seem to help. It's just not the same imo.

It's hard to break away from the brainwashing. Media and society have brainwashed us into believing that our ultimate calling is to have a family while women should focus on career (ironically, it's the opposite).

When you're in the dumps because of your emotions, try to instead think rationally. For example, instead of being depressed that you can't have kids, think instead "what would children bring to my life?" It's similar to how we realized how women in the current year bring literally nothing but problems to our lives because instead of getting stuck with the vague and abstract idea of "I need to find a wife", you list down the tangible benefits and costs and realize that women bring no benefits and only costs.

I was gonna say something deep, but I've been working all day (I have a job where I spend part of my time outside as well as inside) and am kinda spent. Instead I'll say this, hakuna matata brother!

ClintonKilldepstein · 2020-05-14T01:39:29+00:00

Too busy to be depressed. I work a lot remotely and I have more hobbies than I can keep up with.

30RITUALS · 2020-05-14T06:09:30+00:00

I have a similar experience but with business

Userman007898 · 2020-05-14T09:03:11+00:00

I have done a lot. Experienced so much. Traveled the world.

Don't get married. But fuck women if you want to, don't deny yourself this desire if you want it.

As for kids, my life changed when I had my son. Best thing I ever did. I feel at peace now, my love for him is endless.

His mother is nothing to me now. Simply his mother. I dislike her, but I don't hate her.

It is what it is.

Depression is simply a feeling you get from time to time because you're alive. What goes up must come down where we're at

Chakra_Devourer · 2020-05-14T16:00:53+00:00

First of all, assuming the woman you've chosen to procreate with did her job (that is she didn't cheat on your ass and get knocked up by another guy while trying to pass it off as yours). The DNA that you passed onto the kid is only 50% at best. It's not a guarantee the kid will be like you or carry on your beliefs and ideas.

For all the shit that you've done for your kid(s), they could turn out to be ungrateful bastards and put your ass in a nursing home when you get older. You get more stress and working longer hours to support them.

Some people are natural slaves...they couldn't wait to put on that collar and go work in the plantation. Anyway, find what you enjoy and make do with that. How long you can hold onto the ride we called "life" is up to you.
