Hang in there breh. Make the small changes every day that will propel you forward in life. The key is to make small changes extremely consistent, day in and day out--whether that's getting better at work, spending time with more people and family, working out, etc.

Waste zero thoughts on feeling down about yourself, regretful, etc. Breathe in, breathe out, this is you today--what are you going to do with the rest of the day? Take it from there.

Same feeling here, feel like absolutely no progress is being made. Ive been doing all the things ppl say you should - gym, diet, controlling thoughts etc.. but i feel like nothing is clicking. Not sure what i feel like I'm missing.

 

[Raava]

Yes very much so, for many reasons. I will leave it at that.

This is a borderline depression thread.

I know I can't be the only person out there who is utterly frustrated and at their limit with the lack of progress made it in their life. I'm 28, and I really feel like I'm no better off in life than I was when I was 18. In fact, I'm worse off, because I'm ten years closer to my demise and I'm in a lot more debt now.

I used to run my own businesses, but that failed, and ever since I've been stuck in dead end jobs for the last two years and really am making no progress. Every time I try to do some shyt to get out of the situation (like sign up for classes or start another business or save some paper) some little shyt (or big shyt) comes through and destroys the opportunity. SMH.

I don't even know if I need/want any advice, or any support, or anything... I just had to vent brehs.

Stay positive. Make small achievable goals and go from there. Save 300 bucks in 1 month. Pay a old cc bill. Get in better shape. Buy a passport...etc etc. The U.S government (assuming you're american) hands outs billions of dollars a year bro. Go get your fukking cut and make things happen.


This video helped my mentality a lot over the past few months

I am not even close to where I thought I would be at my age when I was 17..but I was a really lofty thinker but I am alot better off than most ( so i am grateful) you have to realize what is the most important aspect of your life you want to change. You cant change everything overnight, tackle one at a time. Is it your body, finances, relationship..line it up in order of importance and knock dem bytches out...back away from the ledge, pull the gun from your temple...realize that everyone has been at that same spot you in right now bruh

I listen to all the time has brought me peace

"At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is who had the most fun. We're here....Infinite waters "

I've actually been moving BACKWARDS in terms of pay for my (mostly part-time) jobs over the last two years (from $10 to $9 to a pathetic $8 now). And in that time I had to move back in with my parents, and still somehow haven't managed to amass any savings. I've been paying sporadically on my student loan debts but because of interest and the fact that one is defaulted I'm pretty sure I owe more money than I did when I started paying on them. Looking back over the last couple of years I had an opportunity to do certain things but I haven't done them, but it's easy to look back on it that way and harder when you're living it on a day-to-day basis.

My girl isn't a problem individually necessarily, but she is an added expense because we live twenty minutes from one another and she doesn't own a car. And when you add in just the normal headaches/arguments/nagging you get from any relationship (I can't say that she's high maintenance or particularly troublesome or anything) it's just extra stress that I could do without.

And she hasn't really confronted me about it, she's actually been incredibly supportive from an emotional standpoint, but I can tell that she increasingly worries/believes that the reason I'm not moving forward is a lack of ambition. It's not really a lack of ambition as much as it is just an overwhelming feeling of discouragement.

On the other side, I do love her and I would hate to lose her just because I can't get MY shyt together. And I know I'd feel terrible breaking up with somebody when they haven't actually even done anything to spur it on.

u need too talk to her and tell her ur feelings..also lean marketable skills, and try too master them

@Majestic Pape I was there at one point breh. What helped me is making a list of things I wanted to accomplish. Start with a 24 hour goal, then 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, up to 3 years. Have that list written down some where so you can see you progress.

One other thing I did was surround myself with positivity. I stopped listening to music that made me somber and actively worked to keep negative thoughts out my head.

It's hard work but you can do it breh. The human spirit is incredibly resilient.

 

[ReggieFlare]

Feel like I'm headed down this path

The first half of last year and the last half of 2012, I was making some pretty significant strides in my life. Ever since I got arrested in May last year I've kinda gone down a slope. The entire event was emotionally, financially, and mentally taxing for me to the point where I'm just now trying to get back on track.

One comment I can make is about your chick: from what you're saying she seems like a good person and wants to be there to support you. Let that be some fuel breh.

Yes very much so, for many reasons. I will leave it at that.
