Deep fog of depression

I'm beginning this war in a deep state of depression, without motivation or any kind of drive whatsoever. It's an interesting place to begin when this war is so synonymous with self-development and change. When I've struggled with depression in the past the first step for me is to let go of the negative habits, then a lot of the negative energy often dissipates by itself. So maybe this is a good place to be, or at least a good place to start. Letting go of PMO could be the first step I need to remove myself from this pit of depression that I've found myself in.

I find myself reflecting now on how PMO is like alcohol for me. I find alcohol sucks the life out of your future. If I go out my next day is bad. I think PMO is like alcohol where you literally suck the life out of your future. It’s like being on borrowed time always. I have kicked it previously for 3 weeks and seen so many benefits but keep going back to it. However it has been better, I used to rot in bed, but weeks where I abstained, I felt more energy and life just felt a bit better.

I feel this. What can you do to bring yourself some joy today? Go fishing or for a walk or something else that helps you feel peace and calm.

Recognizing the problem is the first step. Taking action, I find, is a bigger step. Be proud, you’re doing something many lack the resolve to begin

I’ve been depressed this whole year. I’ve just had to take things slowly day by day. I just try to build a base of good habits—working out, meditating, sleeping a good amount of hours, etc. It’s been really slow with many setbacks, but doing better than I was a couple of months ago. Hang in there!

@Xeo I managed to do some positive things today. I cleaned my house as I really hate clutter, I find the state of my house is often a reflection of my mind and so having a clear living space is a good first step. I signed up to a free 30 day trial of Kindle as I want to start reading more again and replace some of the Netflix and Youtube I've been watching a lot of recently. I also attended an appointment in town that I could have easily canceled, then as a treat I picked up some sushi on the way home. So pretty pleased with myself overall today.

@Nofaptastick those are some great habits. Those are habits I also have when my mind is in a slightly better place. I'm going to see if I can make it to the gym tomorrow, I want to get my exercise routine back. Glad to hear you're doing better recently!
