LifeChoices #NewBeginnings #SelfCare
Hey there! 💭 Have you ever thought about what it would be like to just drop everything and start fresh? To leave behind all the worries and responsibilities that weigh you down and pursue something that truly excites you?
I know it might sound a bit drastic, but if you’re feeling hopeless or stuck in a rut, why not consider taking a leap of faith and following your instincts? Here are a few reasons why it might just be worth a shot:
-
Freedom: By letting go of the things that are holding you back, you can experience a sense of freedom and liberation that you’ve never felt before.
-
Passion: Pursuing something you’ve always wanted to do can reignite the spark within you and bring a new sense of purpose to your life.
- Adventure: Embracing change and stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to exciting new experiences and opportunities that you never would have imagined.
And hey, if you’re feeling lost or overwhelmed, it’s okay to seek help and support. Consider talking to a therapist, joining a support group, or reaching out to friends and family for guidance.
Remember, your well-being is important, and taking steps towards a happier and healthier life is always worth it. So why not give it a try? 😊
I would love to hear your thoughts on this. What are some steps you could take to start fresh and pursue your dreams? Let’s chat! 🌟
Wherever you go there you are.
For real, If you’re so convinced everything sucks and it’s not worth it to do literally anything, YOURE RIGHT! It’s all pointless. Screw it. Now what? Shall we go do whatever we want to do! Or stare at the wall waiting for eternity?
Usually the person you want to escape is yourself.
Dare I say most people would say money, lol. I’d love to not work and go travelling and do things I really want to do instead, like working at different museums, or opening my own food van. But with what money? I’m trying to save money to move abroad and it’s pretty difficult as it is.
Its a crime to be poor. Why would a financially well off person be depressed if he can travel and have fun or have ability to change places.
This sort of sentiment occurred to me as well before I started experiencing depressive episodes
Short answer, you just don’t fucking want to. Could not be less interested. It’s hard to understand unless you experience it yourself, but I think of it like a really good book in a genre you don’t care anything about. I’m just not gonna read it my dude
Can’t afford to move … Poverty is more than deprivation of funds, it’s deprivation of a positive human experience. You can move locations and bring all your sorrow with you because a network of people is what’s really needed and you don’t need to move to find that.
Personally, on my income, I can afford to live a week out of every month, for the following 3 weeks, I’m suffering and can’t afford to get an ice cream at a park, how tf am I going to afford to move to another province? This just makes for easy victimization.
I want to sleep and do anything
1: the reason I’m still kicking is for family and friends. If I leave them behind there goes the reason to live
2: moving and taking risks involves excess money
3: there IS nothing I’ve always wanted to do (nothing cheap anyway)
4: as somebody else put, sometimes people don’t like themselves and you can’t escape that
the depression that can hit you when you attempt to live this way is a solid 3x worse than just the ‘same-old same-old’
There is upside potential if the route causes your life to really improve, but the downside is pretty damn high as well, because its not just “oh well my life sucked and I still think it sucks”
Maybe an outside observer would look at it that way, but to the person going through it the feeling is “I was right to ignore/suppress my instincts and desires, but now I definitively know* there’s no way for me to keep going”
*=this is probably untrue objectively, because life isnt perfectly consistent, but its a hard feeling to shake especially if youre having issues connecting socially
Changing your scenery is never gonna do anything. All that causes is moving from one place to another, because your problems aren’t tied to a place, they’re tied to you. Life isn’t greener over the next hill, you gotta water the grass under your own feet.
It’s hard to change anything in your life if you’re jobless.
> Why can’t you do this instead?
Money. More specifically a lack thereof.
I’ve never really been interested in traveling, it actually makes me more depressed.
All I want is a stable happy life, filled with a job that pays enough to live, friends, and modest hobbies.
