For the past maybe 3-4 months I’ve been feeling a lot better mentally. I was doing things that were keeping my mind occupied and I wasn’t thinking negatively. In the last month or so I’ve felt lost and down like there’s a heavy weight on my shoulders. I don’t really know what I should do to take myself out of this mindset because it’s been difficult for me. I don’t really know who I am and figuring that out has been stressing me out because most people know who they are or their purpose and I still don’t.
Would anyone mind letting me know how they coped or helped someone else get through times like this? Thank you HeartSupport.
Hey buddy, totally normal to struggle with existentials problem.
To me I decided that I am gonna act in the best way, I am gonna discern from right and wrong and I am gonna make my life and those around me better. It’s a constant decision, it’s a mindset, it’s a goal itself. I learned that if i’m gonna die someday then instead of don’t giving a fuck about life (I know already where this road leads, and it’s painful), I am gonna live properly to right values and to my own perspective of good. That acting “good” is gonna be worth it only because I am gonna make it worth it, you know what I mean?
I got these ideas from Jordan Peterson, I highly recommend anyone to watch him, he has countless hours in youtube videos, lectures, conferences, podcasts, etc. Man is a genius and has helped me so much.
