Iā€™ve šŸ bee-n fighting for two years now. I have this Ā«Ā jobĀ Ā» that Iā€™ve been stuck with forever now. My inability to enjoy the little things of life is just another indication of my dereliction: hating the bitter man Iā€™m becoming, seeing myself in people I despise, being unable to think, speak, create.

Thereā€™s no future for me here. No way out from my work. No time to dedicate to what I love. I read the introduction of Camusā€™ Ā«Ā Lā€™homme RĆ©voltĆ©Ā Ā» about absurdism in other to be something else than a consuming shitty human, and I donā€™t agree with most of the moral dilemmas: killing yourself is not the same as killing another person. Iā€™m making a choice for myself and maybe, one of the limits of this argument is that Iā€™m imposing my absence on othersā€¦

But who might miss me? My family & friends? Itā€™s true, there are the ones that made me stay this long, but nothing is changing, and I need to help myself.

ą²„_ą²„, maybe see you tomorrow ?

I have been in the same boat. I have no friends, but a wife and kid. Life sucks a big one, especially work and the work-life balance, and finances, etc.

The only thing that helps me is medicine. Iā€™m on a cocktail of Dextroamphetamine for ADD, Lamotrigine for Bipolar Disorder, and Propranolol for anxiety. Iā€™m still far from 100%, but Iā€™m in the more positive side of the fence.

Talking about problems can help a lot of people, and thatā€™s great to have a therapist, but it doesnā€™t work for me. Talking about stuff doesnā€™t change my circumstances, neither does my mindset. Definitely discuss issues with a doctor and medicate. Nothing else has helped me deal with the shit in life.

I think Iā€™m gonna become a weed farmer then. Better life, better mindset and the music will sound fire.
