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.
This is one of the core tenets of this forum, to stop ourselves from mindless consumption to fill a void in ourselves that can't be filled by consumption and wanting for more. We must be continually thankful for what we have, a necessary mindset to stave off depression and useless anger. God is teaching you a very hard lesson, but one of the most important ones. God taught me the same thing when I had on/off depression starting when I was 15.
The best thing that got me through the depression was finding someone I could talk to, to just listen to me vent. I recommend a male friend or a close family member.
Stay strong brother. I care about you, and I know everyone else here does, too.
