Severe Depression
I've been battling severe depression and I'm starting to have trouble seeing a way through. Everything feels joyless. I have so many creative hobbies, many healthy relationships, healthy diet... I very seriously just want to go live in the woods and live off the land. I don't want anything to do with corporate life, spreadsheets, KPIs... The meaninglessness of it all turns me into a husk. I get deeply, deeply depressed about this. I just want to plant things and be a farmer. I want to feed people and experience real joy while living completely outside of the capitalist world. I've seen a therapist and nothing has changed. TC: 310k #burnout #depression #mentalhealth
Run for 2 miles, walk but complete 2 mile and then after 30 mins. let us know how you felt.
Get a pet, and learn how to take care of them. Then you’ll see that there is joy in life and you will want to take care of yourself also
So go do it!
Don't be afraid of talking to your regular doctor about this and if they think medication can help. For many folks, it helps a ton!
I think you nailed it. Your (work) environment is the problem. You need a change of scenery. Try to think more specifically about what you feel needs to change. Don’t try to make it work as-is.
thank you everyone for replying. sounds like i need to do some soul searching and make some big changes in my life. !!! some scary things are good i guess
See a psychiatrist, you might need medication to help you in the short term.
