I get depressed whenever I get home Anonymous 12/21/15 (Mon) 11:49:44 No.4736

Right now I have a wageslave job that takes up most of my free time (factoring in the time it takes to get ready and drive to and from work, as well as the shift itself, I'm left with anywhere from 1-2 hours of free time on a regular weekday). Obviously that in itself is annoying, but what's more is that I can't even utilize this free time to my own benefit. When I'm at work, I can dream. I can actually feel motivation to achieve shit. I think about saving up money and learning skills now that will help build a better future for myself instead of working in a goddamn factory and living with my family.

The only problem is, when I get home, I get depressed, anxious, etc. I become suddenly afraid of /improving/, and too lethargic to even attempt it. I've felt like this for months and while I don't know what actually causes it, it seems to only happen when I'm at home, in my bedroom. Even through the weekends, I still feel the same exhaustion that I did coming home from work.

What do you guys suggest I do? There's no way that I just can't go home (not like there's anything to do here in Bumfuck, North Dakota anyway).

Does this happen every day with the same intensity? How do you manage during weekends? Do you live on your own? How about friends, have you got any?

This guy here again. C'mon guys, I'm sure some of you have read this thread and answered nothing. Think of it like this: if you were in the shoes of this anon, wouldn't you like to have your thread replied to? Wouldn't it hurt to come back day after day to see 0 replies to it?

Well anon, I've never experienced something like you're going through now, but if you talk back maybe we can figure something out.

I don't really have any advice, I'm in the same position as OP except NEET, so I'm at home all the time.

Also the reason I think nobody replied is because some anon bumped a load of old threads right after OP made this one.

Could it be because you're used to a certain way of being in your home? That you just stick to your routines? Maybe when you leave the factory and you're suddenly actually supposed to do all these things you're dreaming about it's too overwhelming?

I know I've often got into a motivational dreamy mindset but in fact done mostly nothing but wanked mentally. Not saying that's necessarily you but just something to consider with the motivation stuff. Discipline is the key with these things.

I'm just reading into things here but yea. Do you usually do absolutely nothing when you come home? Try picking one thing that feels easy enough and then start with that. Are things with your family okay?

Just by reading the thread, I didn't promptly have good advice either. However, if we truly want to improve and help each other to improve, I think we ought to take genuine interest in each other's lives. Well, maybe I'm wrong, but I think that seeing that someone replied to your thread and is willing to discuss the problem is already helpful.

Granted, if we spend too much time here posting on a chan board, we'll take that time off from doing things that will help us improve. But given that we do lurk here occasionally, it's not harmful to give back a little, even if it's indeed very little, than just always taking. Maybe if more people did that, we could individually take more than we already do.
