You express your opinion by depicting religious people as mindless sheep that heed whatever they pick up out if their vacuousness.
And you ask what's wrong with it?
How about if you had rephrased it by not forming a caricature out of us.
Doesn't that seem disingenuous and really expose a bias
Not like i didnt notice it.

That's not what I did.
And I'm not going to read the rest of that post. Grow a thicker skin, mate.
I'm literally a bait account and you keep falling for it

No reread what you said
"Idk what to believe in but hey, some other guy already wrote a book about his beliefs so I'm just going to copy his opinions in order to feel peace of mind"
You can't say you don't have a stereotypical view.
Most people are concerned only with themselves, it's the reality
maybe it's not the best advice but it's better then sugarcoating it for him, Im sure the guy does not wish to get treated like he's a child
if he has problems with his life, it's likely his parents or friends which are the cause of stress as that's what is most often
Hence why it's best to focus on your own self intrest by making money before caring about others as that courtesy will not be recuperated

Dude, I have religious beliefs too
Don't take everything I said personally.
My initial point stands: religion alone is no replacement for therapy

Lemme ask you this.. Are you psrt of the stereotype too?
If you contact a specialist, be sure to tellhim or her about the daily fluctuations in the condition. With endogenous depressions, the condition usually improves by the evening (for someone in the early evening, for someone just before bedtime).
As long as you feel bad, don't become a judge for yourself. Be an observer. Merciful observer. Read Robert Leahy's books on anxiety and depression. He was the closest disciple of the founder of cognitive behavioral therapy. He writes books with self-help techniques. This is absolutely scientific, the effectiveness has been proven. But as soon as such an opportunity arises, still try to visit a specialist. And books will always be at hand.

Hello @haxxor
Glad you are reaching out and asking for help. there is absolutely no shame in that, I completely understand.
As a human who went through depression and went out, and as someone who lost a close friend because of depression-related su1side, I know what you are going through, I can guarantee you 90% of the users on this site has some kind of depression, me included, so you are not alone.
Here are some advices from me:
1- It's OK to admit you are not doing so OK, It's OK to feel you need help, It's OK to accept the fact you are not happy how's your life going, that's called acknowledging the situation you are in, and it takes hellva bravery to pull off, so never shy away from being vocal about it.
2- Be Honest to yourself, what's the thing that is troubling you the most? sometimes it's a single thing that is the real problem but since it's so complicated everything else seems like a problem and life starts looking dim, focus on that one thing, put every effort to try and help yourself fix that problem.
3- I'm probably the most privileged user in this entire site, no joke, have everything anyone would ever want his/her friend to have, yet I had my fair share of problems trying to find a "close friend" to talk to, until I finally decided I don't really "need" a best friend, I just need to Live my life independently and share "some" of my life stories with people that happen to be there and then, You can't force someone to be your friend no matter how hard you try, so let the tides take its natural course and don't think about it too much, eventually something will happen.
4- Take it easy on yourself, We all have our big dreams, but the truth is, some people get to live those big dreams and turn them into reality, other people just live standard normal lives, so don't stress yourself thinking about "what could have been" and instead think about "How I can make the best out of what I have"
My DMs are open for you, don't hesitate to message me if you need to talk to someone, I mean it :)

I'm so sorry about that, losing someone close is something I don't think anyone gets over and I haven't experienced it yet so I just feel that much sorry about your loss..
and yes, knowing that I am not alone in this gives me a lot of faith, I have no shame in speaking out because I was desperate but now it's because I am not alone in this
Your second advice is so real, once you have that 1 problem it feels like everything else is also a problem and like you said life starts looking dim.
another thing I've learned is, really no person has ever had an easy path in life no matter how privileged you are in life.
I've been starting to cherish the simple things in life and it's made me generally a more kind person, I was so egotistical and aggressive before
Thanks for the offer, I won't forget if I'm ever too overwhelmed I'll send over a message.
Thank you for the advice once again man, I don't think there's such thing as ever having enough tips in life. I've collected and took notes a lot this past week, even started meditating and looking for classes to put my mind at ease.
I can't give up, never, giving up is never an answer, especially now that people have took their time trying to help me out I won't let this experience go to waste, instead I'll use it to become iron sharp so I can enjoy life :)

Glad to hear you started cooping with life :)
We all have our down times, for some people it might take "Longer than usual" for the down time to pass and to finally breathe again untroubled by anything, but closure always comes, you just have to never give up, Life is unfair, sometimes so unfair, but I've seen and experienced moments where people who had these kinda lives suddenly change to better lives just because they endured.
wish you all the best.

I don't know if it help much but i will simply say , don't set the bar too high for yourself. Don't see others for what they are doing or compare your life with others, take your life as it is. I'm sure there must be some good in it still ....try to realise that and cherish it. Find what you love like boxing , if you need refreshment try some more things like other sports. It could be other things, life is long there just so much you haven't tried yet or may not even know about.
What i sometimes feel is today's world has become competitive we cherish and celebrate success and money but a content life yet small can also be great. Always remember it is you who is important just love what you are and how you are.
Hoping this phase pass soon for you cause it will in sometime.
