'What if its not exactly a million-to-one chance?'

Prozac and Paroxetine were evil for me. Citalopram had no side-effects I could detect.

I thought it was short-sightedness over long term goals vs immediate gratification.

This is really bad advice if you are naked and freezing to death.

Except that's not discipline and will make people feel like shit when they fall short of their goals. Discipline is a muscle and takes work. Use whatever you need to motivate you but you aren't going to lift a car because that's "what you want most" lol.

From my perspective I see each rung of the ladder as youth and the ladder itself being opportunity. Don't waste your time when you're young and healthy. Work out, make friendships, gain skills and try new things. When you're old and tired you'll thank yourself.

>Citalopram

I haven't tried Citalopram specifically, but I've tried Lexapro, Prozac, Wellbutrin and Paroxetine. SSRIs make me feel decent for a few days until they really kick in, and then they just completely destroy my energy and what little motivation I have (even at low doses). Wellbutrin worked for about 2 weeks and then just made me really tired.

Look towards the top of the 2 sticks and then follow them down. The fire is made from the steps of the ladder.

Bitch we're all dying in under a century, just chill the fuck out and enjoy life. That fire looks comfortable enough.

Burn the verticals so you will get even more warmer

There, fixed if for you by posting the whole picture.

Wait, what opportunities?

Have you tried low dose 20mg of Citalopram, I noticed it lifted me a little. I don’t take any more because I don’t want to risk zombie-mode like the old meds.

Computer Science Engineering, and no I'm perpetually single. Add chasing women to the list of difficult things I've never had to motivation to really do heh.

I do have a therepist I see weekly, and I've been extremely depressed in the past, but I've been "good" for awhile, and I've never found a medication that improves the lack of motivation and general pleasure. Seems like this is just how I am.

To be honest, it sounds like you’re depressed. If you look at your life, is it a bundle of laughs? If not, you may have some baggage weighing you down, you’d be best speaking to a therapist.

I'd say guards is the best jumping off point, anything later and you tend to spoil things from other books.

> No, it's saying don't leave a good job now just because it's a tough time.

I can't second this enough... Obviously don't stick around for the hell of it if you don't have a plan, but sticking out a few years at a brutally miserable job pretty much made it where I'm set for virtually the rest of my career afterwards... Temporary misery can 100% be worth it

If an opportunity comes along that might be more difficult, don’t decline it just because your job is easy now.

Not sure I can totally relate but just wanted to point out that graduating college is an accomplishment. Just curious what was your major, and also do find any meaning in other persuits like relationships? Do you have a significant other?

Certified boomer post.

Where does the ladder lead to tho

technically he can make stilts out of those. he's ok.

Ok. So as long as I'm tall and lanky I can burn every other opportunity
