how satisfied/fulfilled are you in life?

[arthurfish]

Title. I'm curious to see how responses differ.

Me personally, I'm really dissatisfied and unfulfilled in life I wake up, shower, attend my classes, scroll Org, get home and shower, eat, Org and sleep. I'm not really going out anywhere unless I'm invited. A big reason for me being on this forum is to read about the lot of your guys' thoughts + the sense of community. Whenever I'm not distracting myself, it really dawns on me just how much of a damn loser I am and how my life will almost certainly amount to nothing. I don't think even magically waking up as chad would help me feel better.

in december i will be satisfied & my life will be good

for now

it’s not

Id say the path im on im fairly satisfied
I like the journey more than the finish result
But at the end you will just create more and more paths
And continue a cycle there is no permanent fulfillment
Its always created

Same. My life will probably get better some time early or mid next year but the wait is killing me. really hard to get out of bed every morning knowing that the finish line is so far away

Wise words, Thodian. May I ask about the path you're on? What makes it satisfying to you?

My girlfriend (kind of, it's complicated) is supposed to move to LA around that time so we'll be able to see each other way more often. Right now she lives 6 hours away which is causing a lot of distance between us. She was supposed to move to LA mid June of this year but that had to be put on hold which really felt like a punch to the gut. We don't talk as much as we used to because she's way busier which I understand but still really frustrating. A lot of our plans involve each other so until then things are on pause for the most part.

Rn im just in college for a finance major
Im bettering myself everyday
Getting lean, roiding, gaining knowledge
Considering im a 10th grade dropout and was able to get good grades on exams to get into college
Makes me pretty satisfied knowing im doing better than I was a year ago
The fact I keep making good progress makes me satisfied
And seeing the progress makes it more worth it
Even tho I have had a couple bumps in the road like ending things with my ex
It still taught me things yes it hurt but its best to learn than to dwell on the bad of it

No, my mental health is a mess unfortunately, as for looks I LOVE the way I look, so no issues there. Just suffering from bipolar depression a lot lately which is frustrating as hell to deal with, since it literally is "for no reason" lol.

I feel it I was recently diagnosed with chronic depression
And getting a full diagnosis on friday bc I was told I have symptoms of bipolar
Bc I have very high highs and rock bottom lows

That's rough I'm sorry. I've been pretty depressed too these past few years and really the only thing that keeps me going recently is that things will probably get better. The wait is fucking torturous though. I've been debating on trying to get on antidepressants but I don't want to zombify myself + my girlfriend is also moderately against it. Hopefully things get better for the both of us

Damn, sounds like textbook bipolar disorder.. sorry you have it too my man. Horrible thing to live with. For me it is the depression that messes me up, hypomania is good for me, positive even. Do you make crazy stuff during your highs or are those mostly positive too? What sucks about bipolar too is that the depression is generally much harder to treat than with regular chronic unipolar depression.. I hate this shit so much.

I see, I see. At least things aren't overwhelmingly bad, so there's that.

My lows usually consists of me bedrotting for days
Barley able to brush my teeth
And going on drug binges
And my highs feel like im god himself
I usually use that time to brainstorm and create far enough to pass when i do get at the lows
