Once you train your mind to seek out positivity then most of the negativity gets looked past

I find myself when I am in a low, at least once a day. Makes it difficult to stay motivated to do anything. It’s very difficult.

Thank you for making time for this thoughtful response. It’s a good reminder to think of the things I get to do not the things that I didn’t get to do. I get so stuck in the past and the future and it impedes me from living in the present. I’m attached to my past traumas difficult to move on.

Rock on, brother. Ride hard. Ride strong. (Secret handshake)

Personally, and I'm not a therapist or anything, but for me these little tactics help. As I said before, I thank God each night for today. It makes me think about what I'm thankful for. There's always something, even just the way I smelled rain, or the daffodils on the side of the road. The more I do it, the more I remember. I'm up to 20 or more things a day now. Like how beautiful that clerks smile was. I also find one thing each night that "I get to do tomorrow". Like, "I get to wash my hair, shave my legs change my sheets - it's going to feel amazing" or, "I get to make an amazing chicken dinner", or "I get to smile and make someone's day better". Anything. Then that's the first thing I think when I wake up - today I get to... I still have bad times. Sometimes I spend days thinking that my life sucks, and I'm trapped, and I get so angry and cry for hours and days, and then I wake up one morning and think, "I am so lucky to have a nice soft bed - not sleeping on the ground. I can take a hot shower, I've never really known hunger, my body works - I have my limbs - I'm so lucky, I've been such a sissy. So many humans have it really bad. I am so lucky. I need to appreciate how lucky Iam. And that helps me watch more for the wonderful beauty that god sets in front of me each day. And he does. If you just watch. Also, I decided once that I was just going to be happy. Just gonna be happy, that's all. Every time I started to be depressed or feel sad, I just told myself, "nope, I'm going to be happy". It actually worked really well, but after 2 weeks, there was a major family trauma that set me back and ended that experiment. But it worked for a while. Worth a try. Hope some of this helps. Love

Hmm how would the look for me?

✅ age 0.01 US CITIZEN (wow, cool! I did that!)

✅ age 26 college grad (dang I’m good!)

✅ age 28 married (oh wow, accomplishment!)

✅ age 38 divorced (that counts right?)

✅ still age 38 — father of nobody. (Winning!)

Actually screw this. That guys list is fucking garbage.

Huge connection between sleep deprivation and depression.

Ohhhh god, I'm doing today right now! I'm trapped!

Jesus Christ. As a fellow lifelong depressed only child you are giving lifelong depressed only children a bad name.

Hit me up if you want advice but you are too far in your own head.

Hey you got an unnecessary period in there but tomorrow is a new day. The fact that “easy” isn’t capitalized has me questioning you but hey.. today is almost over

I'm currently in this rut. I can't muster any motivation to clean, play games, read, take care of myself. I've gone on walks, went to the gym, drove across the country to the Grand Canyon. I've completely lost hope

That’s awesome 👏

Same. Like trying to claw my way out of the mud.

Thanks. I’m proud of y’all too.

i do. im just clarifying if its explicit. That means im asking if ppl have children with the intent to prop up the economy.

Who's proud of me? The pandering post? Fuck out of here with this bullshit

That good day can never be done again though

Mine will look a little different.

• 21 - Came to the US

Refer to: Wait times for green card for Indian citizens
