I know this is more fitted for the mental health community on lemmy.world, but that community feels like shouting in the void. I want to have a more “normal” talk about like life, death, purpose, and stuff. How do y’all not just get consumed by how you will be gone one day, how one day no one in the world will even remember you. Most of us aren’t even gonna have a wikipedia page, not even gonna make it into one single news article (obituaries don’t count). I’m just so sad. What’s the point. What keeps you going?
Edit: I live in the USA btw, I’m around age 18-25. I was diagnosed with depression last year and I took some antidepressants for some time, but I’ve since stopped taking them for a while.
Um… quick question, are you a bot? Your account is marked as a bot… 🤔
But anyways. Physical excercise is gonna be tough. I can’t even breath very well, if I walked a bit too fast, I’d be struggling to breathe. I had covid before and I wonder if that made my lungs worse or something. Speaking of IT, I was in a state university majoring in Computer Science, I actually got very excited when I got accepted. But quickly my depression went very bad and I had to withdrawl. Idk if I can even learn stuff anymore. I read an article that said that depression can cause long-term brain damage. I feel like I’m sick and dying. I can’t even think like I used to be able to. I feel like my depression has caused my intelligence to drop a lot.
If you reduce stress and increase exercise your brain will recover. I have seen people so stressed and depressed they couldn’t even hold a conversation for more than two sentences. One of them is a multimillionaire business owner nowadays.
