Have you ever reached a point in your life where?

There just seems to be nothing exciting or motivating for me, like I have just pretty much lost everything worth striving for, I’m even starting to lose care in my health, at least I’m not battling, I earn a crust working a shitty day job, run a freelance photography/graphic design business on the side which was a struggle due to businesses being closed during covid and even I’m losing my interest in that along with my creative mojo, and I have to confess I have dabbled in a little coke this year but making sure that doesn’t become a problem. I feel like I have no one in my life, apart from the amazing people I have met here and EP over the years, and the most distant friends I have in this world are my closest because the connection is genuine with no perks.

But that being said, I feel like I’m starting to lose my way again and running out of flying 💩s to give, Ive even been drinking heaps, and pretty much only eating twice a week and only eat when the hunger pains get annoying. I haven’t even followed up on my health checks I was meant to get done.
Lately I’ve just been feeling like a prisoner in my own life and I just can’t seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel at all.

That is called "anhedonia" I get it sometimes too. It's hard when things happen and you feel overwhelmed and hopeless. When it happens to me, I watch Youtube documentaries about the millions upon millions of families who live and sustain themselves in garbage dumps, or the bloated baby human skeletons in the horn of Africa. It helps me redirect my thinking a little bit.
Still, sometimes I have to force myself to do the things I used to love to do, so I definitely understand.
