I recognize that people that have life "figured out" and accomplish everything they set out to do in life can still suffer from depression and take their own lives. I think the feeling of emptiness we have is "normal" almost things considered, you just have to accept that life isn't sunshine and rainbows like the commercials would suggest (if you would just buy their brand of mouthwash/clothes/car/whatever)

Life is boring, most of us share the misery, accept it and be grateful for what you have

You are right, theres rich celebrities taking their own lives as well. I feel like Anthony Bourdains death was the biggest reality check.

I'll let you know since i move in saturday. Been pretty stagnant for a while despite "moving up". Space for myself might give me some ambition to fill the 'what do i do now' hole. Get back in the dating scene and have a meaningful relationship and try start a new career by leaving the old one. You feel this?

Yep, I live with two guys that just arent on the lifestyle Im trying to aim for in the future. Im addition, all my mental energy is spent working and dealing with roommate bs. I agree, its easier to date women when you dont have to bring her own for the first time to a literal frat house. The career thing is going to be the hardest to tackle because I have no idea what to do besides leave my current company.

What drives you TC? What interests you? You need something to focus and progress on outside of work. I know CE looks down on working with their hands but doing that shit gives you tangible product and its something you see yourself getting better at. Like Im talking pottery or carpentry or something. It gets that positive feedback loop going rather than the negative one so many seem stuck in.

Well,my father got cancer, passed away after a painful battle, had a rough go with jobs, and lost all financial security nets...

I just kept working and trying to better myself with school and work experience. I got my bachelor's (which hasn't helped with jobs), got married, expecting a kid, and a decent job now. I had many 60+ hour weeks, deprived myself of being comfortable, and still doing that.

Just get momentum working forward and keep it. It's rather easy after you start. Also have a really good counsler that doesn't sugar coat life.

In short,get some grit. Powq-pow cowboy

this is tangential to the topic at hand, but I remember working 2-3 crap jobs and in most ways I found it a lot less stressful than having a 'real' career

I didn't even think about it until I was 25-ish and by then it was pretty much trivia.

"Huh, I missed the quarter and now I'm at a third already."
