When you are completely, utterly, hopelessly defeated? Broken on the wheel of life? Old, broken, busted?
shareJust START.
Do, rather than think.
Make a list of small and larger things, organize the order for reality, starting doing it, one by one, don't multitask.
You will feel great about what you accomplish. Life is physical.
Go outside and do something so strenuous that afterward your so tired that when your head hits the pillow you go straight to sleep.
shareAll I can say is, I can somewhat relate to your story because of a former coworker I had for a while. He was new on the job and was perceived as sort of an oddball but he was really smart, especially with computers. You remind me of him because for someone that's supposed to be delusional, you come across as lucid, articulate.
His story was that his father was a wealthy, influential doctor who murdered his mother, got away with it, then had him institutionalized because of his suspicions. I know, this is the stuff of movies, but sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. He was finally released on a sort of probationary status and that's how he wound up working there. For some reason, he gravitated toward me and we became friends. And during that time, the more I listened to him, the more I came to believe his story. Long story short, he left the job and the last I heard of him was that he really messed himself up through a botched suicide attempt. Such a sad ending to such a promising life.
Just reaching out like you have has been the first step to overcoming defeatist thinking. Something inside of you told you to do that. Heed some of the good advice you've gotten here.
Look at you pretending to be human.
7/10, not a bad attempt.
Look at you, taking a typical, cheap, cowardly shot, displaying once again what a lowlife you are.
You're the complete idiot in this thread, suggesting he should be a raving lunatic like you.
Thank you for more evidence of your continuing stupidity.
That was proper advice I gave and it was given with good intent.
Take a step back and give yourself time to recover from the defeat. Don’t mull over the what-ifs and should-have-dones. Think forward…
Maybe take a trip out of the area just to get some fresh air and let your mind drift. I recommend hiking in nature and taking in the beauty of a peaceful, healthy, down to earth place.
Next step, set some simple goals. Repair something. Declutter. Make a nice, clean orderly place where you can sit down and organize the next steps after that.
