But my question is what motivates you to keep on going even though you feel so miserable inside and can't find what makes you happy anymore?



But for any who cares enough to read.. I didn't have it easy growing up, I know it sounds cliche. But to keep it short I moved out my parents when I was 18, constantly battling with depression, and was homeless for a year. I'm in my mid 20s now and I just feel physically and mentally drained. When I was younger all I did was work and get money because I thought that would make things better and make me happy. Now that I'm older I know money is very important but I just don't care too much anymore. Im on the pursuit of happiness but what's messed up is I don't know what makes me happy anymore. I'm at a standstill and I just don't have any motivation to move forward. I also just found out I supposedly have a warrant for my arrest even though I got out in Jan. and they didn't give me no court date and the charges were dropped. They told me I was free to go! I only found this out today because u applied for a permit to purchase. Sorry for the wall of texts I guess I just needed to vent..
Learn to accept your destiny, some of us spend our whole lives struggling to be what we're not, instead of flourishing in what we are.

To answer your question without reading too much in to your history-

What motivates me to keep going changes often, but the two constants that are always on my mind and driving me are... drumroll.....

Yambs.
Money.

Im older and wiser, and now have a young son, which is the new #1 motivation to succeed. Everything I do is for him and family now.

However, I never lose sight of what got me to this point, the pursuit of Yambs and money. Keeps me motivated to succeed at work, to work out every day and look good. You can never have enough yambs and money. Everything else falls in place.
 
You may not always have someone physically by your side to talk to, but there's always someone to talk to online whether here on NT or on sites like www.blahtherapy.com or www.7cupsoftea.com. As for in person, put yourself out there some to meet new people.

I'm not sure that there is a secret to happiness, but I've found that having a few weekly activities or goals is enough to keep you going through the tough times. Basically, have short-term things to look forward to while the long-term plans and answers sort themselves out.

Do you have any hobbies? If not, experiment with things and find something that you enjoy doing. If all else fails, going on a run or to the gym to get some exercise is always a good option because it helps you de-stress some and has you feeling great afterwards.

dont do drugs or alcohol to cope with deperssion waste of money and messing up health


what motiviates me is other people have it worse, WAY worse
 
Do something fulfilling like volunteer work at a children's hospital or animal shelter. Realize that you need to love yourself and be confident and others will always love you. You're a good person, leave the past behind you and strive to live the best present possible.

What keeps me motivated rn is graduating.
After that it'll be to cop a home.
After that hopefully to travel.


The thing about being down & losing motivation is that Hopefully it's a feeling that'll go away, it's only temporary. At least, imo.

Keep trying to find things that'll make you happy. It might be one or multiple things.
It might come today or a few weeks, the thing is to keep loooking.


Good Luck & Stay Up OPEE.

It could always be worse, I tell myself that all the time when ish gets rough. keep ya head up!!!
 
Hey bro i'm here if you need to talk.


Life is challenging. You seem very conscious. Right now you have an opportunity to find out what you came here for. You will find something you love to do and that something will involve helping others. You will come to a sense of fulfillment and go to bed each night knowing your purpose.

It's tough, but better times are ahead. If you wanna know more just message me.
 
This is a good first step. Being pro-actively open about whatever you're going through mentally should be beneficial. If I were you I would seek out some self-help literature. Don't be afraid to embrace any sort of instructional therapy.  

I would amazon "The Tools" by Dr. Phil Stutz and Barry Michaels. If you can't afford it just go to any used bookstore and immerse yourself in the "self-help" section.

I second this.

Try new things, meet new people.

Exercise releases endorphins and makes you feel good!
 
Try and find something you like to do. Or a lot of things you like to do. People who like to do those things too. When that depression hits just try and battle through it because it will come again and again. Just deal with it. Like if you force yourself to get up and do something you probably won't regret it if you look back on it that night. Yeah maybe you didn't have the time of your life but at least you went out and did something. That helps motivate me at least. I know sleeping all day and blazing on the couch isn't gonna help.

Idk sometimes you just gotta turn that depression on its head. It sounds corny but working out and all that helps. Hope you get what you're after man.
