I have some serious issues lads and I think it's all spawning from crippling depression. I simply can not find a purpose in life. Furthermore, I am horribly lonely. I finally managed to have a girl stick around for a few months but she left me. For those few months I felt like a real person.

I simply can't get motivated enough to pull myself from the pit. Consume Product and clean living kings turned my life around years ago but I am falling back into the abyss.

How does one cure crippling depression? God's trials are killing me.

Have you ever considered pursuing your artistic voice? Could be engineering, painting, making stuff with 3D printing, etc. Like have you considered pursuing gaining some sort of skill set you’ve always been interested in? I feel like a lot of depressive feelings come from a lack of action. So just pursuing learning how to make stuff and build is a good way out.

You should check out maker spaces/hacker spaces - it’s basically a non-profit where people pool tools together, woodworking tools, metal working tools, forges, ceramics, 3D printing. It just depends on what your local branch has. But basically you pay a monthly fee and you can go use all the equipment to make stuff. Lots of times people offer classes too to train you on how certain tools work.

Could be something to look into to help get you out of your rut. You’ll also meet a lot of high energy, high IQ people there so it might be a place to find some stimulation from other technical, engaged people.

I was an unemployed artist for a while which did make me happy for a while until I came to the conclusion that art is vanity.

The maker spaces sounds pretty cool though. I think I need new friends...

Do you not think that art can be a way to honour God by inspiring His children? I can see how one would come to the conclusion that art is vanity given the crass commerce which passes for art these days, but do you think art can have no merit at all?
