      For me that descends into suicidal ideation. I’m just so tired, I don’t want to nonstop fill the stimulation void on me any more, I can’t stand the thought of jumping from novel interest to novel interest always trying to stay one step ahead of the expanding void in me, I’m tired of putting so much effort into a life I don’t want to live

        Learn to love yourself so you have something to fight for. Be consciously grateful for the good things in life, as you’ll get more happiness out of them than you do now. Live in the moment so you can fully appreciate what you experience.

        Working will still suck and you’ll feel bad sometimes, but so long as you can get everything out of the good; so long as you don’t let bullshit ruin your sense of self, you won’t want to die.

        Filling your life in this way is a constant effort, but it will keep it from being hollow. Novel interests alone can’t compete.
