Current Events > I'm depressed CE

(+) Yeah! (+)

And being over-productive and trying to force myself to be positive isn't helping. I still feel really empty and lost.

Where do I go from here?

No $$ for one and it's quarantine related so it's temporary but still

Hey TC, all this quarantine stuff has got me drinking a lot lately. I was more of a social drinker before all this, only drinking at hangouts and such, but Ive been buying 1 liter of vodka everyday/every other day because of whats currently happening. I dont really have any advice, but hopefully we get passed all this because this isnt fun.

Aw man, well that's not good brotha - I can't judge, I seek my consolation through the bottle as well.. Makes me think too much or nothing at all after a certain point

Here might not be the best place to get help though TC. I struggle often but I find myself really finding that I should probably reach out more often to actual practitioners and doctors.. you only get one life and you might as well make yourself feel comfortable earlier rather than later. Loads of things that'll get on top of you, if not next to you.. More often than not I really do find the one thing I love (music) is what gets me down when I'm not making the sort of progress I want to see, but what really helps is knowing I have an infinite love for something that is totally mine and can do at my own pace.

I feel you bro, trust me I do. Its just very hard. Im in NYC, so you already know. Its sad to hear, but drugs is whats getting me by. I never used to be this way, but it is what it is. Im gucci though, no need for worries.

TC, we got this. The fact we acknowledge its a temporary feel kinda helps.

My heart goes out to you man, it really, really does - Im in the same boat and there was one point in my life where it just tanked me. I started getting these weird heart palpitations from overworking my body through junk and nowadays when I get stressed or dont sleep well I can feel my heart sinking deeper to thump.. its really weird. I was sleeping 3 hours almost every day and waking up just to roll blunts and smoke cigarettes, by midday I was drinking a bottle of cheap ass whiskey and at night with the homies I was just foolin around with other material.. just take care of yourself man, you owe it to yourself and while I might just be a stranger I hope you know my thoughts will wonder about the dude from GameFAQS who also has troubles on their mind from time to time

I think just managing your stress is probably the best thing you can do. If you can feel yourself working too hard, give yourself some space to catch your breath and do something that helps balance you out and puts your mind at ease.

I definitely get the quarantine depression myself, it's hard not to feel trapped in this sort of weird limbo, but I do think there's some things you can usually do to alleviate stress. (even sometimes as simple as treating yourself to take out)

Thanks man, lol. Kinda crazy a stranger could care. Not even gonna lie Im drinking that liter now and got money to buy an eighth tomorrow. This isnt me though, I used to love being active biking and playing handball at the parks, but thats gone for now. I hope youre doing good yourself, there are weird /odd pains I feel in my body at times that gets me shook cuz Im kind of a paranoid person, but Im pretty sure Im good. Last year my doctor told me Im pre diabetic and I was strict on that, but Ive been ordering so much food lately. No worries though, deep down I know this is not the person Im going to become. It sucks that I kind of need that escape to pass the time, but I know Im stronger than that. Itll pass.

If I care about random fiction in the books I read of the movies I watch then fer sure man, you as a person thats real and breathing are x10 more important to me for our conversation on here

From one homie to another; ease up when you can and take solace in the champions in the world of video games that we play - trial and tribulations through pressing X.. we can do the same for our lives and borrow from all these great characters.. literally just fatality that mfer yknow?
