It's been a long time since I have had depression but I am starting to struggle

I am struggling with anger and feelings of emptiness...

I am getting angry more frequently where it starting to manifest for example I stomped on some beers in the stock room at work today also I am feeling empty a lot of the time like my life is just not enough, I find myself becoming more tempted to medicate with drugs just to compensate for the emptiness.

I know this exactly. I wish I could suggest you something better. I do suffer from the same and I end up drinking whiskey. However you need to get into a good company, try avoiding alcohol or drugs at any cost. Maybe join a gym and eat healthy. Get more hobbies and be active. I really believe you can overcome this and be a sober man. 🤓

@SW-User Some of them are plain annoying and others are a chore even my girlfriend can be too demanding at times which irritates me because I feel like I have two jobs but I love her

Mild drugs are okay occasionally just to unleash some fury, but it's not the long term answer. You need an act of meditation that gives you the energy boost at the end of the week that you need in order to continue for the next few days. For me that's making art. It makes me feel like I am doing something I am meant to do. It isnt it , but it is close enough that I can push on through with my hope for a brighter future.

Have you found a purpose ? your soul might be going round in circles

Misanthropic · 26-30, M

@revenant I'm definitely going in circles and I do struggle to find purpose in what I am doing with my life feels like I am going to work, helping around the house and wasting the rest of it on my phone in an endless loop...

I have started getting into art and am going to a tang soo do club each week but I still feel unfulfilled.

@Misanthropic your mind is at war. Outward activities would help definitely whatever form they take.

Do you think talking to a therapist could help you right now?

Misanthropic · 26-30, M

@Isthisit No, therapy can't help with this.. I need to find direction
