I may have ask this before but im not too sure.
So it leems i wont be able to get into theripy anytime soon for some dumb reasons and also some family members problems have to be taken care of first like surgerys and whatnot.
I have depression pretty badly which kinda runs in the modern age like a plague and im not sure what to do with it, im not even sure what to do now or in the future. i feel very lost and stuck while being in some sort of werid loop. it dosent help how i have autism which also stinks. it feels like i always want things instanly or my interest changes every day, which is prety annoying and im limited in many ways.
what can i do to help with depression and life?..
I know this sounds hard when you’re depressed but its important: pick a hobby you like and spend time doing it. What do you enjoy doing? What makes you feel like, well, you? Whatever it is, start small, just tell yourself to do it for 1 minute a day at first. It could be simply dribbling a basketball, or doodling a cartoon character. What you spend your time doing defines how you live your life; you deserve to enjoy it.
your right but im also not sure what i should do or what actually interests me, im kind a nerd and i like tech, tabletop rpg’s, retro games, but thing slike that require money or poeple to play with whichi i dont have either really becasue im a young adult who isint ready for the world. one person suggest journiling or writting which idk how that would work or where to begin becasue i can barley spell (becasue dlyexia) so i guess im up for suggestions on how to start something without lossing motivation.
One of my big problems is that I don’t have any idea what interests me anymore.
I’ve been where you are and it’s hard for sure, but you gotta try stuff. Try producing music and try woodworking and try painting. Try running and try archery and try sim racing. Try making sushi or growing magic mushrooms. You just gotta try a bunch of shit. Most of it you won’t be into, some of it you’ll like, and ideally you’ll find a few things you love. And try things you think you might not like because you’ll probably surprise yourself, when you’re depressed nothing sounds fun so you have to force it. Force yourself to do things you think you won’t enjoy, if you don’t like it, don’t try it again but at least you’ll know.
There’s no secret, it’s just working hard to find something, then you can make plans around your new interests, you can go to that convention or that race or that thing on the weekend, and that helps you get through the week, it gives you something to look forward to. Maybe you’ll start making a video game and that gives you a goal, something to work towards.
Remember life is just a matter of distracting yourself with something fun until you die. It doesn’t have to be any more than that.
