how old are you anon?

Hey op, I've been trying to get my life back together and get back on with my hobbies for the past two years. I haven't got everything figured out by any means, but I have met some of my biggest goals recently. I would say my biggest take away was that having things laid out in front of me was one thing, but being an environment where I felt like I could manage it was more important by far. After experiencing more and more frustration, I realized I was placing massive pressure on myself, which made things infinitely worse and only held me back more.

I put my hobbies and projects on hold for over a year to focus on recovering mentally, just doing the bare minimum of working and slowly turning my living space into a place that made life worth living for me.

I also realized a lot of my frustration was coming from feeling powerless and out of control, so I made a lot of changes and did some things for myself that would help me feel I had more control in life. I finally did some things I had been hesitant about for a while, and dove into reading stoic philosophy. I rigged my whole apartment with rgb lights, and it may sound silly but even something as simple as that helped me feel like I finally had control over something in my shitty life for once.

Best of luck and hopefully there's something to glean from the retarded ramblings of a JBP fan on /doomer/
