I think TS depression might be linked to boredom.
Why cosmoscat say rich ppl are less happy cos they already spend their wealth
on things that poor ppl have something to look forward to.
The brain releases dopamine when feeling happy.
But overdose does not bring higher joy.
Instead once addicted to it, on its absence, one will feel empty. Hollowed out.
Its a form of withdrawal effects from lack of happiness.
Practice delayed gratification helps. Either you become a walking corpse without
a soul like me. Or each controlled burst of emotion release sends you to the sky.
Personally, I'll advise
@dereth on this.
1. Sell off 30% AVGO coz if you are getting depressed over life right now, what will you be left with if market crashes?
2. I'm similar to you, I cannot remember your age but I still have my business running purely online. So my last bit of self worth is my net worth, properties, wife, family, personal medical and physical health and business. Tried looking for job since last October, 4-7 interviews, 0 offer.
3. Just have to look at the bright side, what for making myself work 8-10 hours a day for a few k a month. Market fluctuations on a daily basis is by year of salary liao.
4. I also had many other fails in life. Like got attacked by health & fitness corner troll (whom I later know is who in real life etc), making me get away from online, be behind the scene to build up everything etc. Just keep pivoting.
If it helps, my daily routine is waking up naturally, workout before or after lunch. Netflix (amazon prime etc) till a bit tired and nap. At night, walk my dog with wife, or go out shopping malls to clock steps and enjoy air con, come home, YouTube and sleep when tired. Only 42, hopefully still many years to go.
And don't give a F to anyone else other than your immediate family. Keep everyone close. Extended family is also nice for gathering to have joys. Friends come and go, some go forever, so be it.
When I don't give a F, say I'm driving in my lane, a bike lane split within my lane, collied with me and whatever, it's not my fault and I don't give a F. When you can give up all these unnecessary worries in life, with the physical exercises, maybe got chance? but depression should always seek professional help, coz anyone else won't understand you also anyway. maybe if you want to talk here, talk. I also talk even when you don't ask for it. this is also 1 way for me to get "active". Oh, I also mahjong 3 rounds 3-4 days a week to pass time.
