Reply to [Text] How do you fix your life in your 30s after wasting about 8 years unemployed and living with family by sleeplessbearr

A good thing to remember is no matter who you fej should've done what, or who failed you in life, ultimately your destinty is up to you and solely your responsibility to make do with what you've been given. Keep the past in the past if you want a future. They're a lot of job programs/self help for people with mental "disabilities". Try contacting one, and create the life you want.

Joke went over your head. They weren’t referring to Ilean. They were saying a kid with one leg is possible, take any kid and cut their leg off, there you have it.

Edit: fat r/whoosh moment on my part, imma leave this up for the comedy but holy shit i feel on another level of simple minded 🤦🏻‍♂️

I think you could benefit from therapy (the kind that people with ADHD get) to help you focus and plan your daily life.

I had a traumatic brain injury 32 years ago, and I just learned this past year that there ARE behavior therapist and job or life coaches that can help, even if you were BORN with something like ADHD. Contact a Neurologist to get tested.

You're getting downvoted friend, but I'm with you. Speaking with the wisdom of some years now, many people spend their young adulthood trying to become someone they think they should be and that the world will accept, and spend the second half of their life trying get back to who they truly are.

Sometimes, we have to make drastic changes to our lives in order to give ourselves a chance at happiness. Get rid of all of your gaming gear and games. Sell it and/or give it away. Then go out and get a physical job in the real world. Make a commitment to stick with that job for one year. Get involved in physical hobbies, too. Stay away from internet surfing and social media as much as you can. Volunteer to do physical things in the real world like food banks, etc. Invest yourself in your real world life. Interact with the people you work with, do hobbies with, volunteer with.

You aren't going to want to do this. Part of you is going to say you can't. Part of you is going to throw a tantrum when you try to do it. Ignore all of that and just keep at it. Consider all of this a course of treatment for your mind and spirit. If you aren't in a better place in a year, you can always try something else.

Oh yeah it's fully garbage. I'm fr gunna bounce from it soon lol. People expect to be able to find life's meaning in a single quote without actually researching the history of the person who said it or their beliefs. It's a sentence for crying out loud. If you don't know the context you probably aren't going to glean anything from it lmao, especially when it comes from complex thinkers like psychologists. And yet here we have all these folks (who don't even seem to know who Carl Jung is or what his incredible contributions were) saying he's spewing bullshit just because they don't understand the quote at face value. sigh

You can have more than you’ve got if you become more than you are; and unless you become more than you are, you’ll always have what you’ve got.

Invest in yourself the same way you would a company, a car, or anything else you own that you’d like to get the most out of. The solution to most of life’s problems is to simply become “more”.
