Au Rebours (Against Nature)
He doesn’t exactly just lie in bed but there is a considerable about of him just daydreaming while sitting down.

Damn bro. How did it get like this?

>>22300564
idk but things feel grim

>>22300528
that reads like clinical depression or some other major health issues

>>22300629
Who is supporting you financially?

>>22300528
Oblomov

Imagine the smell under those sheets.

>>22300528
Take control of your life. It’s incredible how things improve once you feel purposeful and motivated

>>22300677
the government

i've tried multiple times. i lose steam very quickly. what's the solution? am I just lazy? how do I fix it?

Colin Wilson, The Outsider

Read The Unrest Cure by Saki

alright i'll read this one

Start doing small battles anon and work your way up.

Remember if you're not moving forward, you're going backwards, so if you don't hit your KPI of what you deem a succesful, challenging day, then take 10 seconds to scribble down you did not hit your target and then try again the next day.

>>22301288
Please do what this anon says. It WILL matter. Don't get wrapped up in forcing yourself to have a complete paradigm shift, you'll only stress yourself out.
>t. struggling with bipolar II

>>22300528
I have been suffering from this too. Things that should be exciting or desirable are just relief that they're over for me. Don't know what to do.

>>22300528
Find a hobby, an honest hobby, and start doing it mindlessly. Even hiking or some shit. We need flow state to have a will to live not even joking.

>>22300723
The solution is to do it even if you have no steam left, even if you are in pain, depressed, anxious or unhappy. You just do.

bumping for my brotha OP

Why not just throw in the towel and KYS? That's what I've decided on

True definition of LDAR

>>22303211
Because so many greats in history get baptised through fire to realise their potential and change the world for the better - nothing to say that anon can't do the same

>>22303418
>nothing to say that anon can't do the same
>laying in bed all day everyday for 5 years and counting with complete anhedonia, no friends doing nothing?

>>22303427
Hope requires courage - It's too easy to let the past dictate the future. Anon will be who they are; if tomorrow they decide to sow their wheat despite knowing the weeds of 5 years of lost potential will grow as well, then each year they will harvest taller, stronger plants till the weeds eventually pale.

At which point he has enough to provide his contribution to society in a positive way - in which case the sky is the limit if he continues challenging himself - we are on /lit afterall

OP challenge your identity with min/max books on humanity - Biographies of the Greats then to something like 'Ordinary men', it'll help towards what you are capable of, and the cost of being idle and being dependent on the environment.

P.S Don't forget about functional medicine to mitigate the damage of your depression - if you have chronically been in bed I imagine your vitamins and minerals will be absolutely tanked - get on 4k Vit D + K2 asap, quit any booze / drugs, start eating high fibre veg like sweet potatoes, and know that you do have friends cause I decided that we are lol - and no doubt many in this thread will be your support network as well.

laying what in bed?

>>22303511
I'm not reading that. OP is fucked. Don't hide the truth from him. It's over.

>>22303523
That's alright man, you may not have faith in OP (or apparently yourself) but I do, and wish you the best of luck.

>>22303531
wow, a passive aggressive unfounded personal attack from an evangelizing fake optimist, typical. Kill yourself phony.

>>22303649
You're bitter because you have a fixed mindset, that's it - Everything I suggested OP to think about is constructive and pragmatic

>>22304199
You're delusional, not pragmatic.
