i'm reaching a low in life.

haven't been able to get a new job after going through interviews and companies saying i did well or saying the position is already filled.

don't have many friends IRL and haven't had any luck with dating (had 2 recent dates and they didn't go anywhere - girls weren't interested in actually talking during the date).

just feeling stuck and nothing good is happening in my life. how do i stay afloat besides working out?

Delete all social media

i only have IG and that's for promoting my photos. I'm trying to have that take off, but I need a better camera

You need to look at things from a different perspective. For example my main source of depression used to be the fact I never had a gf. That hasn’t changed but now I’m at peace with it and honestly that’s how I like it. Everyone I know has relationship problems or is divorced.

Id still like to experience that myself but I won’t let myself get down about it. I focus on the positives. You could be living in a war torn country starving to death. Look at what you have not what you don’t have

Walks

Exercise

Books

Deep breathes

breathing. like practicing breathing

essentially meditating

You can pull off a moustache like that yet your dates ain’t going anywhere?
Interesting

i don't have a moustache

Then grow one like this guy

It doesn't look good on me. I've been told I look like Mbappe, not Devin Booker

dont have any advice but in regards to finding a job, i've heard from a bunch of people that it's extremely difficult rn. its discouraging to continuously get rejected/ghosted but maybe it helps to know its not just you. having hobbies that get you outside like going to concerts, rock climbing, playing pool, etc. or volunteering for something you care about are all good ways to meet new people. i see a cross in your bio, do you go church regularly? could be another good way of meeting people

just do it tbh. its weird but sometimes when I'm at my wits end I just cry our of pure frustration and the universe blesses me with a new opportunity

appreciate the advice man. i do go to concerts and looking to do some martial arts soon.

i do go to church regularly too

Have a good cry and let it out

hug your mom

Brother that is Devin Booker

Accept that life is suffering and happiness is fleeting.

Maybe his dates don’t talk to him because he is putting other men photos as his profile pictures

What does Shiism recommend we do to avoid crashing out

Shias bottle it up all year and then let it all out during Tasua and Ashura by crying non stop for a couple of days.

We also got 12 Imams 11 of which were martyrd by ehhvull sunnis so we get a day off and do a mini cry session for each on their death anniversaries

meditation like actually

Lean into your hobbies and what fulfills you
