Real talk, here's how you get your shit sorted:

  1. Read 12 Rules For Life by Jordan Peterson.

  2. Take some time to figure out what you're actually good at. Go to a community college and try out some skilled trades maybe.

  3. Get your body and mind in shape. Stop watching TV. Work out. Read. Make a serious effort to eat right. Take some pride in your appearance. Learn how to project confidence even if you're an ugly fucker.

  4. Do not go into debt for any reason. If you have debt, pay it off.

  5. Tap your network. Figure out who you know who can help you get a job. A real job, not some bullshit like stocking shelves or being a pig or a teacher or some gay shit like that. Ask men in your life who are in their 40s/50s and have good high-earning careers what you should do to be in their shoes. I guarantee with a little looking you can find someone who's done well for themselves without a college degree.

  6. If you do go back to college, and you might want to, do not do it to be a teacher or a cop or some other poor as fuck profession. Let me spell it out for you. STEM, economics, a trade, or bust.

  7. Don't kill anyone, don't get anyone pregnant. Everything else you can recover from.

The real reason why he won't debate systems of Economics? Let us take a look at their educational & publishing backgrounds alone.

u/Longjumping_Goat · 2 pointsr/Advice

Wow that's quite the situation, but clearly you've thought it through and have goals and plans.

I think healing yourself (and not repeating the previous isolation) should be your first order of business. Improve your understanding of yourself, treat your body with care, improve your contentment and study yourself.

I do suggest that you read the book "12 Rules For Life", your local library should have a copy if you want to be frugal. I enjoyed the book and think it would help you.

Isolation and anxiety can be very harmful. I think developing a few close friendships will help you get the social connections and friendships you need but also give you the chance to get some space and time to yourself.

Daily incremental improvements really add up - just like interest (or debt) in a bank account. Each day, do little things that move you forward. A little exercise. A little extra kindness to your fellow humans. Save a few dollars. A little self-confidence.

I'm glad you have ambitious long-term goals, that's great! Not sure if my rambling has helped or not.

u/NanashiSC · 2 pointsr/getdisciplined

I know your situation. Been there myself. Still fall back into it more often than i'd like to admit. Here is what I have found helpful: Declutter your digital life to the absolute essence. Use HostsMan or HostsFileEditor to blacklist porn, news and all the other timevampires you can think of. Disable Autoplay for YouTube. Than install Improve YouTube! and set it up, so you won't fall into YouTubes traps (feel free to import my settings). I would also recommend to install Toggle YouTube Comments so you can choose to interact but have to make that decision actively. Try minimalism (the less you own, the less you have to clean up); Clean up your room; Make it beautiful. See if you can manage to meditate every now and than. Try to reduce the time you spent in the digital and increase the time you spent in the physical world. Choose one routine you want to build and focus on that task for 66 days. Read The Power of Habit if you want to understand how habits work. Work with Leo Babautas Essential Zen Habits if you need support implementing habits and routines. Detox your mind by creating, recording and listening to your own affirmations.

If you feel like WASTING your time: Watch How To STOP Wasting Time And Procrastinating Your Life Away. Watch, read, listen: Jordan B. Peterson (YouTube), Akira the Don (YouTube), Tidying Up with Marie Kondo or at least something that brings your mood up and motivates you to take up the fight (that life is): f.e. Haikyuu!!, Boku no Hero Academia, Days aso.

Or to tackle your situation from Alfred Adlers approach, why do you choose to live that way? What is the payoff for you sitting around and not taking care of your life?

And lastly, feel free to pm me whenever you want to.

I can recommend a few books that although really have nothing to do with divorce, will set you on a proper path.

  1. 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos
  2. The PMA Effect

    Here's a great clip from a Jocko Willink podcast that TRULY got me through it.

    Be thankful you don't have kids. You're 33 Years Young. Dude, you got this!

    Go forth and be your best self.
u/RaquimJackson · 1 pointr/relationships_advice

Also would highly recomend 12 rules for life by Dr. Peterson, I just went through a bunch of shit in my life from every direction and Ch.12 would help you a lot. I always recommend audiobooks too you can get 30 days and this audiobook free trial if you don't have an audible account already

u/2underrated · 0 pointsr/Veterans

You are loved, cared, about and wanted beyond what you believe. Speaking as a veteran, Your discharge doesn't matter to me. You are a human first, and you deserve to be helped. If it was up to me, the Va can shove it. That being said; It can still be a cruel place for both veterans that get out honorably, and civilians in general who need help but can't afford it., and I'm saying this because I can relate to your struggles as I wasn't able to go to therapy for months when I was going through it. But I just want to say this....It get's better. It always gets better! No matter what you believe, in or how you feel now. The present you isn't the future you, and all though the present you doesn't have the answers the future you does. So don't get caught up in the lies your mind is telling you now. They are all lies, none of it is true. You have a future, you are loved, and you can find happiness again. Don't compare yourself to others either! This is a journey. Your Journey, but some people never get past the first part of it because they don't reach out for help. But reading this post I can see that you want it. So I'm going to tell you everything I did, and I pray that you do the same. Keep in mind, I was at the bottom of the bottom, I was 4,000$ in debt, no job, and living with my parents. So there's no excuse for you to say that I was gifted. Because hope was all I ever had to begin with. I tried something, and guess what I don't consider myself depressed, anxious, or anything anymore. I found PEACE. So listen to me EVEN if it sounds stupid, even if it sounds ridiculous, even if it seems pointless. Please if you would rather, grow than be destroyed when confronted by evil. Start doing some of these things, and I promise you, you'll find what I did. Inner peace, and a gifted outlook of the world.

  1. Take adult vitamins, and magnesium. (40% of people with mental disorders, lack magnesium.)
  2. Work out (This increases dopamine described as runners higher.)
  3. Write about how you feel. (This is another form of introspective thinking, which is basically You studying how you truly feel because of something you said, wrote, or thought about causing you to find the root of your problem.
  4. Introspective thinking. (Question why you see the world the way you do. Do you think the world is evil, or are the things that you are thinking as evil now as the evil thing?)
  5. Educate yourself on psychology. (Don't have a therapist be your own therapist.)
  6. Change your diet. (Increase fiber, and add more vitamins to it.)
  7. Go to church! (This no joke saved my life. It opened my door to a community that loved me for who I am, and it can give you a higher purpose.)
  8. Direction, and gas to take us there. Don't have an answer? Make God your direction, and his love for you, you're gas.) (I mean it. Look at it from a psychology perspective. When we don't have Direction, and gas to get there we find ourselves suffering because we are stagnating in our car in the middle of nowhere. We have no higher purpose or plan that gets us nowhere.)
  9. Have you ever heard of r/NoFap? Give it a try.
  10. NEVER STOP TRYING NEW THINGS TO GET OUT OF THIS.
  11. Talk to a family member.
  12. Meditate (Even if it's for 5 minutes.)
  13. Know that meds, therapists, and a solution exists. So you have hope ITS THERE. Go to these things, and if you use them can get out of it I promise.
  14. Wash your teeth, and clean your room whenever you can.
  15. Separate your mind from who you are. Our mind can go haywire, and 9/10 we listen to it. BUT BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THIS. The reason why it does is that we let it get oversaturated with all the wrong things. To replace the bad things with the good things, challenge those thoughts. If it's negative; Say something positive. don't just stand there and take it. DEFY what you think is wrong, and stand up for yourself. YOU your soul deserves it because it's there.
  16. Learn to love yourself.
  17. GET A SLEEP CYCLE. A healthy one that gives you 8 hours of sleep.
  18. give yourself grace.
  19. Drink green tea.

    ​

    Challenge your thoughts. Challenge your beliefs. Look at things for what they really are, and not how they make you feel. There is no place you can go were you can't go back from again. Because if you examine it truly. You'll see that it really isn't all that bad. All you have to do is do this or do that. Nothing is unfixable.

    ​

    Here's a song I want you to listen to. The reality is that life is beautiful, and it's worth living. We just need to find the reason why beyond our perception because perception isn't forever. It can be changed like a pair of glasses. We just need to give the time it deserves.

    I'll pray for you, things will get better. I'm proof.
