Times are weird. Change up the routine. Start a new hobby. Start volunteering at a new organization.

Go somewhere you never been, anything from a local hike to booking a flight to another country and bumming around for a couple or weeks. Get sendy. There's always something our there. You never have to keep doing anything because it's what you've been doing, or stay anywhere because it's where you've been living. Get sendy

Send me a bunch of money. Hell, even a few hundred. I'll tell you what I spent it on, how I'll use those things, and send you pics of the purchases in action. Live vicariously through me. It might just be the motivation you need. Trust me, I'm extremely good at converting money into fun.

I’m burnt out too but hey at least I don’t want to kill myself rn. Sometimes it’s good to be burnt out because it’s associated with numbness. If you’re numb and burnt out, you’re chilling. But if you’re in pain and burnt out, go get help.

What’s got you feeling burnt out? I only ask because I wanna help.

How about you quit social media which is the leading cause of stupid children feeling sad?

I feel like I get seasonal affective disorder until ski season starts. Once it's dark and cold by the time I get home from work I end up doing more indoor workouts rather than going out for a bike ride or whatever I do when it's warm. At least midweek I can sometimes ski at night or in the very least think about the next time I'll be skiing.

I feel like I'm always happiest in march-may cause I can ski sail bike skate fish etc depending on the weather and who is around.

What’s got you feeling burnt out? I only ask because I wanna help.

Idk, I’ve always dealt with depression and debilitating ADHD but the past few months have been especially bad once I stopped working and went back to school. My parents are old and bankrupt, I’m paying 15k a year for classes I barely even go to for a degree I don’t even care about, I lost my truck, I’ve lost all my friends, I’m fucked up on something at almost any given moment, I live off ramen and beer for every single meal, my roommate is an absolute boner of a guy, I can’t see shit because I ran outta contacts and my insurance doesn’t even work where I live, my buddy from work ODed on fent over the weekend, and as the cherry on top, I found out yesterday that the closest friend I’ve got who I’ve been skiing with for 10 years decided to shoot a porno with my gf. Like what in the fuck. I just feel so overwhelmed by getting gang banged by life everyday so I just live life on a drug fueled autopilot to get through what feels like the same day over and over again. I’m just so exhausted and over it. I’m hoping ski season will bring some happiness back into my life or at least give me something to look forward to besides shitty parties that smell like armpits because this ain’t it.

Vacations help immensely. GO somewhere by yourself and explore a foreign land. It's even more fun if you don't speak the native tongue and have to figure shit out for yourself.

This is just one part of your whole life dude, it'll pass some day, just stay strong until it does.
You wouldn't have good days without having some bad ones- in fact you need those bad periods of time so that you can know when you're in a good one, you'll come out of this a much better person- trust me.

Take up some hobbies, hiking alone worked great for me, or a solitary ski/skate sesh to clear your mind. Hell even arts and crafts can be good, I even started making a zine last winter when I was going through it and having those little things to take my mind off life was helpful.

Unironically, go to therapy. Dawg, that shit sounds so rough, getting an idea of how to mentally get yourself outta that hole is a damn good place to start.

Nah man, constantly being drunk is like the best thing for your mental health! Its right up there with having a girlfriend who does pornos and surrounding yourself with shitty friends! The only person I feel bad for is this goober's roommate. Imagine the shit he has to put up with.

Sound like you need to drop the booze, drugs and parties, get up at 7am and spend time outside. Leave the phone at home and experience nature.
Being alone in the wild always gave me time to think, reflect and plan ahead. Projects are the only way to actually beat depression. A long term goal that gives you self worth and that could benefit others. When I was at my worst depression, I worked on local bike trails all day for 3-4 days straight until my fingers were blistered. I met rad people, did meaningful work and got to ride it later.
Its so easy to bitch about life and how no one is giving you pleasure when you dont give anything back.

Good call on dropping the booze, drugs, and parties... In my experience, using booze and drugs to cover up underlying negative shit in your life only magnifies it once you're coming down. It also fucks up my sleep which make me even more pissed off and angry at the world. And the lack of good food doesn't help either. I also spend a LOT of time alone. Not relying on anyone else to make me happy is sick. I love hanging out by myself. Don't have to deal with other people's shit



That's rough tho dude I hope good things are coming your way soon

From the wise mind of a brain dead 14 year old. If you get home from work or school and need to relax and always do the same thing after (for me it's watch a show or something.) Don't do that thing. Do something you've been procrastinating. Call a friend see what there doing and ask If you can go. Or fry some chicken idk man

connect with some old friends if you can. Or family. Workout. Eat as healthy as you can. Get off social media and immerse yourself in a good book. Things will improve.

Listen to the well thought out responses in this thread including the therapy ones. I’m sorry to hear that about your gf, what an actual piece of shit, I could never live after that honest to god, you’re way stronger than I’ll ever be. We love you, people love you, and people like you will remain in my thoughts and prayers. Things will turn around soon my man. Even though you don’t believe they will, you just have to have that thought of “what if they do turn around…” that’s a main thought that has kept me alive through the past year or so. Much love my man.

Wow just wanted to say found this unexpectedly informative, there are probably a lot out there burnt out in two different manners, I too am kinda burnt out/extremely bored and kinda developing add, so much stimuli and no desire but I’m quite mellowed… not liking it…but as you put, I’m not on the kill myself side but sometimes I wish I could just start my next resurrected life….f..I’m bored , feel like I’m perma bored, even skiing rn is just like…ok meh

Hey man I’m sorry you’re going through all that it sounds awful, I can’t quite relate to everything going on but I’ve been going through some similar emotions so I can relate to how you’re feeling. What’s been helping me get through is replacing desires to go get fucked up and do nothing with anything else, a walk, a drive, some stretching (sick grabs), a hobby, etc. I learned from my therapist is being burnt out on life is a matter of perspective and expectations, you feel you have to do certain things in life and you’re view on life becomes very rigid. There’s little play in things that are important and that are not and it’s a matter of stripping back that judgement and letting yourself do whatever. At the end of the day you’re gonna wake up tomorrow and the next day and the day after that, and overtime that wound will start to scab and heal. But in the meantime, you’ve still gotta find enjoyment in the day to day and give yourself space to process both mentally and physically. Things start to open up a little when you focus on how you can take care of yourself and enjoy yourself in this moment in time. If nothing else, don’t quit the things you love and value. They’ll give back in time tenfold what you put in in ways you can’t imagine.

hope some of these words in this post and this thread help ya feel a little better, sharing is tough so thanks for putting your situation out there, you already realized that you’re not comfortable living the way you are and some people never come to that realization or don’t until they’ve lived a majority of their life. Take care man.

oh buddy no. Numb is not chilling. Feeling numb can be caused by feeling so overwhelmed the only way your mind can get through it is by shutting down. If you’ve reached the point where you feel numb, it’s a pretty big red flag to be honest 😕

I hear ya, I know it’s tough especially when your at the “ I don’t know if there’s a light at the end for me “ phase, been there in a place where my fav things to do were like meh I could or I could not either way whatever….in between depressed and normal while being neither and still just being like whatever…
Life throws shit at ya and we all are coming out of/living in a stressful time of change and uncertainty, all new and it may be a natural human defense to just “meh out” to protect itself from anxiety, and this is an anxious time, so much anxiety to deal with… health, wealth, relationships laws and politics, will there be a ski season…. Just so much
not sure what helped me the most, I’d say primarily TIME, coupled with new interests, coming at old interests from new angles, manage stress thru physical activity, and doing what I can with sleep and nutrition to optimize the body and mind to handle, adapt and endure the life I lead and want to lead.

Maybe start by deciding what and where/who you wanna be and how you wanna live, then figure it out, or maybe just chillin and being meh will provide the answer, idk, best wishes

Preciate it my man. My meh -ing right now is honestly helping me, like anything negative that happens whether that be with relationships or school or whatever I just say Fuckem and move on. Like I’m starting to care less about the bullshit. Or maybe I’ll be skiing in two weeks at snowshoe and that’s what’s holding me over right now haha.

That’s exactly how I was I want into a highly de sensitized phase that I gradually came out of, and now that I think about it , that “meh ing” may have relaxed me long enough to allow me to move forward, idk g luck, have fun at the shoe won’t make it myself except around Xmas when I come home, if your not familiar lmk I’ll dm you some spots to watch for drops, side hits etc if the snow fills the trees in
