Check your situation with a psychiatrist, it's the correct thing to do
I couldn't agree more I've always been the one who never wanted to settle for a 9-5.... however for the time being the stable *guaranteed* income is very well needed.Well, a job is fine... first months, depending on situation, person's psychology and other factors.
Our reality is built by our brains and so what we think is what we feel, then what we express.
So mental health is top 1 thing to work on, improve. Once I started doing that, I feel like a 10 year old person. Zero perceptions of being this or that... just pure experience of life.
Solving 1 personal problem is better than solving 1000 problems for a boss.
Hope youre doing okay bro.. honestly for you to post about this it already says a lot. i think that everyday and every second of the day you have a choice. weather you come from poverty or some other fucked up situation. or even if youre life has always been good. everyday you have a choice to pick the things to do that seem right to you. i think for you to come to this point you already missed so many red flags bro. be honest to yourself, thats what helped me when i was in this position. get your body moving if you can and if you cant try to do some form of exercise, no need for fancy gyms just any form of exercise is nice. keep yourself busy, link up with your family and friends, or people on the forum. dont stop applying for a job, money isnt everything but it sure is handy and can save you a lot of stress. just dont stop bro your next job interview can be tomorrow. it dont matter who you were yesterday because today you can be better!! i know you can smash everytihng thats coming on your path brother believe in yourself and do the work that is necessary to improve yourself and your state of mind.How do you guys deal with negative self thoughts?
Not gonna lie, been going through a rough patch the last few months and been trying to deal with it but its getting to a breaking point...
Financially not doing too well, my job search is taking its sweet time. I've gotten interviews but no positions yet and waiting for one more response from my latest interview.
Projects and responsibilities are still there with barely any financial means to cover those expenses. Big expenses coming up in the next few months too...
NGL kinda feeling locked in my head about the whole thing and not rly seeing a bright way out.
Just figured id share a piece of my mind on here and vent a lil.
Thanks for your time.
Push negative thoughts consciously away. It always starts with mindfulness, once you're awareHow do you guys deal with negative self thoughts?

We in fact are not separate from our environment. Remember that and you'll get some crazy revelations coming to you. heheThis is something that helped me a lot: You are totally different from your thoughts. They are there because they are there, but you have to live your life (avoid the what ifs). They appear, they disappear. Most of the time they're out of fears you don't even know about. Ignore them. Move on and be strong. You don't have to trust me, but I want just to try that.
Cheers!

You need more serotonin, less dopamine and the depression goes away. Plan something long term like 30 - 60 years long plan.Hi, there,
My experience is worth what it's worth, but here goes.
I'm a bit (a lot) depressive by nature and I've been through a pretty dark period in my life (several in fact).
It was during the last one that I signed up here - no, the two aren't related.
I've started to get back on track.
Among the things that helped me keep my head above water :
making a daily schedule of things to do. Inactivity is the worst enemy of anyone with dark thoughts.
So I keep busy: I clean (I'm very fussy and there's always something to clean in a flat).
I read.
I play online (I like Geoguessr and RummyKub).
When I've got time on my hands, I feed my blogs.
I do my accounts and tidy up my papers.
I do sport (there are lots of free exercises to be found).
I've made a database of all my films and TV series and the same goes for books.
I sort my clothes and shoes.
That's what works for me.
But I'm aware that when you're in a depression phase, you have no energy and everything seems insurmountable.
So I did little things.
And some evenings, when I'm having dark thoughts, I say to myself "OK, this day sucked. Tomorrow will be better. And after everything you've been through, you can handle anything".
I read after writing this that you'd found a new job: well done![]()
