I am depressed, got distracted and procrastinated, didn’t study today, didn’t do any homework or tasks.
I didn’t hang today, I totally forgot to hang because I was drowning in my own sorrows.
Ah well, a day missed that I won’t ever get back. The train of life continues... Life goes on...
I am seeing an endocrinologists for my hormonal problems within 6 weeks or so, it’s something to look out for. I hope he can fix me.
Sometimes I just want to say fuck it, and doing another steroid cycle, just to be done with it. But I know that isn’t going to help me.
I feel hollow, shallow, empty, and hopeless, sadness, motivational problems starting to rise, but I have to continue LOL, I can’t drop out , i’m on the edge of a burn-out and I just started studying , i’m curious to find out where that will bring me.
It’s those times when you want to say fuck it that you need to dedicate yourself even more. Many of us deal with these sad and depressing issues and of course it takes a great toll on our motivation. It seems like you have a lot on your plate and organizing it into a very specific schedule I think will help you set aside time for things like meditation or prayer to help center yourself.
I have suffered with these issues my whole life and I can tell you that I have changed completely over the last 3 to 4 years using a variety of methods. Medication of course is a big piece and I can only advise on what I take and how it affects me, you would need a doctor to prescribe for you. Another big piece is keeping your mind in the moment. When we find ourselves living in the past we feel depression and when we find ourselves in the future we feel anxiety so keeping your self-centered is vital. A great way to do this is through a course called DBT, this works on bringing emotion and pragmatic work together taking advantage of both to keep you in the moment accomplishing what you need to do.
My biggest advice is not to give up because the miracle might be right around the corner. It took me 23 years to get myself to a point of peace and solitude. It was a combination of prayer, medication, DBT and therapy. I also came to the brotherhood with every issue I had as I still do today, and I was given great advice and support.
I really want to see you get better so you can really enjoy your life because I know what it’s like when you can. I will pray for you as I always do but I truly hope that you’re able to start to heal and keep yourself in the moment so you can live out in enjoyable life.
