Keep moving forward.

I was way worse off with much less hope and turned it around through not giving up. Channel that depression into hard work and let the satisfaction from that drive you. Make sure you're on a good sleep routine too

Yeah, but should we REALLY be taking advice from a creep like Sam Levenson?

I feel like this is a homage to Stoicism.

Personally, I function better when I have deadlines. Even if I make them myself, put them in my calendar. Being accountable to someone who is going to ask you what you've gotten done is helpful If they aren't obnoxious about it.

Proud of you for wanting to grow… I’ve struggled for awhile, some of it unknowingly to myself. But struggled with relationships. Recently had a girl in my life who I thought maybe things would workout with but it didn’t. We weren’t ready and there was no budging her to maybe try again which threw me into a depressive state
I’ve struggled with living for myself, but I just started to make a change as well. Wish you nothing but the best

Good for you, self improvement is always important and you have realized that while you are still young which is fantastic. Just remember, that in life there will be ebbs and flows, it is not a straight forward path and no one person will travel it the same as another. So try not to compare your situation to your friends, you aren't behind, you are on your own unique path. Keep that mindset you have, hold yourself accountable, and continue to try to be a better person every day, and you can't fail.

I've been through depression, I know what it's like, i belive I can go through it again if that's the case, the thing is, after my ex left me, I became obsessed with psychology, how our brain works, how we can become better as lover, friend, son. I think I have a very clear idea of how people "function", that's why most of the time, I'm like the" psychiatrist " for my friends, I can give great advice, but I won't apply them for myself (ironic). My biggest problem right now is the path that I want to follow and stick to it, I don't want to procrastinate as much as I do now. It's a constant battle with my brain, and I have to take control over it. I wanna thank you for your advice, and at the same time, I hope you have an amazing life

it sounds like you may have some situational depression...consider communicating w ur health care provider about this...maybe short term depression med will give you the sustained boost u need to make this positive outlook a reality...either way, one day at a time...u got this

In the ~6 months since I've turned 23, I have lost around 30lbs myself. I was heartbroken from a woman I liked leaving me and turned that into the gym. If I can do it (and boy did I believe I could not do it), there is nothing stopping you from doing it. It is not easy, boy is it not. But man, it is WORTH it. Seeing the number tick down is so rewarding. I hope you can find something similar in your journey.
