Think I'm mentally depressed....

[Amphibious]

Fake nikka problems. Try being black, broke, overworked, surrounded by racists and depressed. The highlight of my day is the 4 hours I get to sleep while folks are having dinner. I can't take ppl like you seriously.

p*ssy boy problems.

Try having cancer at the age of 6.

Try having no food in your village.

Try working 16 hour work days to survive financially.

Try losing your own penis.

The working 16 hours a day shyt?

Well, that was a freebie

1. drugs (get em legally, don't take too long consistentely)

2. and this is the superior option, just try pissing people off, just call people you know family etc on their bul shyt for everything they do, just e 100% realuntil everyone htates you, that makes it exciting

since we have a few developers in here and we talk about 'group economics' all the time, why don't we work on a small project together for fun. Could serve as a nice portfolio piece at minimum.

Do volunteer work or mentor kids....nothing gives true joy like knowing that you had a positive impact on somebody's life

 

[hatechall]

Give back in some way.
It doesn't have to be through charity but just find someplace where you can make a positive impact on people's lives.

Real thread. No bragging, just stating facts because I can't really understand why I'm not enjoying the fukk out of life.

shyt is crazy. I got what people would consider a great job, make almost 6 figures, got a nice car, stay in a nice place, got the latest of a lot of stuff, no kids, etc...

But I'm never really happy. Every day its like I'm just going through the motions. Get up in the morning, go to a place I don't really like (I'm the lone black dude in the department, the one sister is on some c00n shyt and the other blacks at the company are old), eventually come home, and just rinse, wash, and repeat. It's to the point where most of my happiness come from watching the Hawks win (please don't laugh ).

Like I've literally been thinking to myself trying to figure this shyt out but I just don't understand it . Guess I'm trying to ask y'all how are y'all finding happiness in this world?

I've been thinking about getting back into the church maybe...

Yo on the real you need to get some laughter into your life STAT!

Laughter is the fastest way to fight depression because it works immediately and you can even do it yourself for free right now (if you don't think its possible I can teach you how).

Laughter has tons of other benefits as well that I can get into with you if you're interested in discussing this further.

No joke, I'm a Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher and Improv Comedian and if you want, you can talk with me on Skype and I can try to help you get laughing/back on track ASAP. For real. Don't be shy, holla! It'll be fun I promise!

Travel breh, preferrably to a different country, so you can experience a different culture.

If you got a girl, defintely go with her

 

[Swirv]

Take a lead of absense and travel. You have to break up the monotony because everyday sounds the same for you.

 

[joeychizzle]

Get a couple of pets breh. A lil puppy and some nice tropical fish. Travel to random cities on the weekend and explore. Cook some awesome looking food you see on tv. Take up some muay thai or Brazilian jiujitsu. Go on hikes. Go camping
flying lessons. Learn an instrument.

Keep your mind and body busy and stimulated and the rest will take care of itself.

Church? You would be better off dropping 10% of your income on drugs.

in my opinion thats just life breh. You get up everyday and hustle for nothing. Life really has no meaning. Makes sense for humans to be depressed because we're the only animals who are self aware enough to realize that. Lifes a bytch, and then we die.

Personally i try to find joy in the little things. Kicking it with friends and family, good food, vibing with my girl, driving, playing sports, smoking weed, music, dancing, helping others, etc. Doing that stuff brings me genuine joy and makes me forget how sad life is for a bit.

Realest post ive read in a minute.

Honestly... It sounds like you need to fail somewhere so you can struggle. Life is only unrewarding when there is no struggle to overcome. You need tonl venture out, try to build a business, get a challenging hobby etc. and have something new to overcome

@FreshFromATL I noticed you didn't mention friends in the OP. What's the situation with that?

A lot of greats suggestions have already been mentioned, but the best advice would be to volunteer. Helping others that need it is a great feeling and it'd help you appreciate all the things you have going for you.
