I realize now that I'll never be able to afford my own place, my job is a dime a dozen retail job where if I get fired I can just get a job at some other store making nearly the same amount of money(nothing), my prospects for education in the future are non-existent since I'm not particularly smart or bright and I just.... don't care. I don't want to put in the work. I've pretty much become everything I use to make fun or or hate so now I'm just kinda going through the motions in life and I don't see a way out.

And that's to say nothing of my physical health(very poor) which I also don't want to put the work in to change.

Yay!

Why don't you learn how to code, start making $80,000 a year, and put a down payment on a house?

Why do you people feel the need to be dicks to someone who's having a hard time?

Edit: Wish I knew something constructive you could do. At least you're probably getting $1400.

Donate plasma for around $400 your first month. Depending on how good your veins are you could be done in 8 thirty minute trips.

Been listening to this a lot lately.

I'm not suicidal by any means, let me be clear. This song is just resonating with me a lot recently.

You might get locked.

Why? I've made topics like this before that didn't get locked. Maybe even with that very song in them lol.

I guess if it does get locked then whatever. I'm just some loser venting his frustrations.

Carry on.

I actually do donate plasma! It brings in an extra $300 a month for me.

That was me almost 8 years ago.

It gets better, but you need to get out of your own way and start making and achieving goals.

Find a new job you like. Pick up a hobby. Work out. Eat healthier. Meditate or do yoga. Take out some money on an online course to get a certification in as little as 6 months. A life partner will also come into your life along the way.

Plenty of options.

Imagine a depressed dude trying to make it as a brand new tradesman. Those guys are some of the most politically incorrect, macho guys out there. They would be bullies.

I have the opposite.

I have a great job and am already looking to buy my first house. I just can't find a decent woman to save my life and when I do I tank the relationship spectacularly. It's starting to grind on me.

OP said he isnt depressed. He is an apathy mode. Apathy =/= depressed.

Who said you're not smart enough to learn new things? They were wrong. Remember the old adage, Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

Seems like a shitty gig tbh. $400 for a month ain't shit, even if it is only 4 hours of "work" (though that's apparently best case scenario and doesn't include transit & waiting times)

I never said I wasn't depressed. I definitely am. Also very apathetic.

I said I wasn't suicidal.

I just don't have the drive to do the things I want to do, which makes me depressed/apathetic which continues the vicious cycle that I don't know how to break.

And I don't have the drive or smarts to be a carpenter or any kind of tradesman. Or maybe I do but I don't want to do the work and just want instant gratification and money? But I know better that that isn't a realistic thing and I should feel bad for thinking like that, and I do.

I'm just one torn up motherfucker.

Around $400 is the first month. $300 is the usual which takes 41 hours on minimum wage.

Sorry to hear you're down. Depression sucks, especially with how it has a snowball effect.

Try setting smaller goals. Goals too large can feel insurmountable which hurts motivation to get started. Instead of focusing on a larger career, try excelling in your current job. Could you possibly handle being the head of your current department? Or maybe just focus on getting a raise for your next review.

Personal health is huge. When you're healthy you just feel better. What's going on here?

Have you considered medication, TC?

I know seeing a psychiatrist might be expensive if you don't have good health insurance, but mental health is absolutely vital to have, especially now.
