I start my day thinking that I'm worthless. As I try and start anything, there's a constant feeling of dread that follows me wherever I go. When I try and be happy, through forms of meditation and other stress relieving activities, I end up feeling worse than before. There's a thought that I'm only running away from my problems by only band-aiding the issue through therapy, instead of actually solving the root issue: my lack of overall job satisfaction.

No matter how I think, I just can't seem to get rid of the thought that I'm living paycheck to paycheck. I don't have any savings. I'm not married and have kids. Like...how the heck am I supposed to trick myself into having positive affirmations? I feel forever enslaved to this never ending debt cycle; I only feel like a fool by pretending to be happy.

Anyone who has only positive thoughts is a delusional psychopath.

Seems like psychopathic traits really attribute to "survival of the fittest." In 1000 years from now, I bet neuroticism will die out and everybody will be a lifeless robot with a less developed prefrontal cortex.

What is the debt from? What is your job?
Credit card debt to pay off bills just to sustain. My job only pays me $20 an hour. My rent is $1600. I don't drive either.
The world is telling me to die or something right?

You can change your mood to some degree, but anyone that says you can entirely be in control of your own happiness like it's a light switch is being... probably a little dishonest. Although I think some people with this attitude really do mean well and that's cool. There are times we make ourselves stressed out too.

In my experience realizing you didnt make it is when you want to start faking it. By that point all your dreams are pretty much dead.

Shit, man. That's rough. I have no clue why you're doing things this way either, have you asked yourself why? We already know one of the answers, but what about the other answers? They're equally as valid and require your inspection. The world isn't telling you to die, homie. It's telling you to wake up to the idea that no one is doing things the way you're doing things for a reason. It's not your fault and I can tell you're trying, but man, you need to really think about a second job. You'd be surprised how much better you're going to feel having more money.

Hell, you may even fall in love with it. You can always organize a better job structure/routine later too.

But you need to get rid of that debt. You need to stop dipping into the credit card to pay your bills.
How do you work a second job when I'm working 8 hours a day, 5-6 days a week? I barely have any energy when I'm done. I don't think I'll have the mental capacity to handle a second job without fainting from exhaustion at some point.

I wish I was a hot a girl with an onlyfans. There's no place in this hyper-capitalistic society for guys like me.

Alcohol helped. Now that I'm in a alcohol rehabilitation plan, I'm not sure I can fall back on old habits.

Yah. And the slight chance a negative thought starts to show up I just think about something else. Surrounding yourself with stuff you like and enjoy works wonders.
