I'm not encouraged by you showing me the extremely rare chances of people making it big. 99% of people are not gonna be Zuckerberg, etc.

Tending your own bar is already a success story. It is not an 'indirect' way to success.

#5 I certainly doubt having a pet, at the very least a cat, with you would help you focus on the work you're supposed to be doing. (1/2)

I know you are just joking but in all seriousness, pets can wind that apathy out of you and get you actually working.

Yep. These graphics tell me my chance of success is, to a good approximation, zero.

What you should take away is that before you can become a success you must have a body of experience to work from. Success is never instant

It can't. But, the time it took OP to make this for Caroline might let her know she's cared for in a way that just hearing 'I care' doesn't.

Yeah but what the fuck do you do when your body is falling a part and most days involve immense physical pain? Wtf do i do? Huh? Huh!?

They never give you advice for the fucked up shit. You notice that? They always say it'll be ok but what if it really isn't?

11 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

They can't. Every optimist hides behind a glass wall of false hope and an underlying fear of helplessness.

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I can't afford to be optimistic. Life will not be ok for me, my body is falling apart. I'll just endure.

The best advice I've received is have a goal. Whether you fail or decide this path in life is not for you, you've accomplished something.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Same here. & being depressed w/ anxiety having ur SO yelling at you every morning to get a job. If it was that easy I would. Vicious cycle.

I feel the same way a lot of the time. I don't know if my stuff will work for you, but one thing I do is to go out with friends even 1/2

Keep everything you want to use (electronics, books, entertainment) in another room. Sleep in one room, live in another. Encourage yourself.

Same as everyone, forward. You don't need a specific destination in mind. Take each day as they come and see what the world had to offer.

Yeah that's great and all but you do know it basically says nothing right? It's not helpful.

Maintain physical health as a priority. Social and emotional connections are a must. Decisions won't be impacted by your negative feelings.

11 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Most people that are depressed don't have the motivation to put in the effort into maintaining those things..

11 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

I would say it's a process that requires work but that it gets easier over time. The first step should be realizing your (in)significance.

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

Usually recognising one's own insignificance IS the cause of depression.
