Besides hygiene and health, don't even want to attempt the rest

I'm freelancer and have a startup

But i don't find that fulfilling anymore

My entire life is making others rich, i'm tired being a cog

What made it better for you?

At this point i feel like it's bottomless

There is no light at the end of the tunnel, it's only getting darker and darker day by day

I contribute to open-source, that's the only thing i would be proud of, besides not hurting anybody in any way including myself

Instead of going through this and fixing my life, i'm outsourcing it on pills
Re:Ask HN: Please Give Me Advice on Sunday December 05, 2021 @12:38AM (#29447019)
But why should i be fighting? What for? More money? What's the goal of fighting?

The saddest thing is that nobody seems to understand having depression is not my choice

I don't want to be depressed no more than anyone else

I don't want to be that person of which everyone thinks as depressed, it hurts

This is honestly a good idea and it sucks to admit that my sleep cycles are a complete chaos

I've read that book and have recommended it myself

Yet i feel too anxious to go out of my comfort zone

Hobbies keep me distracted, but my motivation doesn't last very long

I've read Alan Watts, the Stoics and Buddhism stuff

I tried going to Church, to seek community, but i can't pretend i'm religious when i'm not
