    It was a year of comfortable complacency like most of my years, but the cracks from me refusing to pick myself up by my bootstraps are already starting to show. I’m a gigafat hamplanet to the point I have trouble moving, all my friends and family my age are getting married and having kids while I’m looking more and more like a genetic dead end, and I still live with my parents like some sort of child.

    If I keep up my path I am guaranteed to end up with a life of 100% self inflicted emptiness.

      hey, just want to reach out a hand of solidarity and say I’m right there with you. Still live with my parents, all my friends getting married, can’t seem to leave my childhood home - although I’ve lost so much weight that I pretty much disappear when I turn to the side. Severely underweight right now, can’t seem to put any weight on - probably because I’m so depressed I don’t even really eat at this point. Just want to let you know you’re not alone

      I think it’s important to remember that we live in hellworld so most of this shit is not your fault. Especially living with your parents, which is caused by the economic conditions for most people. As leftists, we understand that a lot of individual problems are caused by systemic issues.

      That being said, I think it’s still possible to improve your life on an individual level. I think the most important thing in life is to make progress, no matter how small or slow. And it’s also important to have self-compassion. That’s how I pulled myself out of the abyss
