Nothing in the world seems to help. I spent forever trying to find something to watch, but literally nothing felt good. Even when I eventually put something on it felt empty and I just ended up staring at the wall. I tried playing videos games, some of which I really love, and I turned them all off after a few minutes. I’ve tried other things too. Half the time I don’t even eat. Time passes in slow motion, like some kind of purgatory. The worst is I can’t even sleep. I have the next few days off and they’re going to feel like an eternity. It actually scares me. How do you get through this? I’m desperate.

For what it’s worth, I see a therapist weekly and I’m on a few different medications. This particular bout of sadness is caused by an especially painful rejection.

      I really struggle to maintain a routine, and it takes a lot of willpower for me to exercise. I’d be more likely to start that when I’m in a good place, but keeping up with it would be hard.

        There lies the solution to your dilemma. Also likely you have poor sleep hygiene.

        Have you tried simply just not giving a fuck? Maybe that works? Seems to for wealthy people just fine.
