Hey, Nostr. I got depression. How do you all deal? The only way out I can see is by getting rich and the only way I know how to do that is by trucking and selling my inventions. Which may be years of isolation and suffering.
Can anyone suggest an audio book that can teach me gratitude and/or acceptance? Maybe share some wisdom?
Depends how severe and pervasive it.
Don’t isolate. Even if what you’re doing is isolating, find a way to connect with others and life. Find someone you can check in with regularly. Find time to get outside and move your body even if for a moment each day.
A lot of the best wisdom I’ve gotten from books are form Eckhart Tolle’s work. I highly recommend “the power of now”.
Happiness comes from within. It’s not, “when I get to this stage in life or reach this goal, I will be happy” or comparing yourself to others/where you should be. You already have everything you need to be happy, you just have to seek it.
I’ve been there and I’m here for you, truly🫂
Best advice I got was that if you're looking at the world through shit colored glasses, it's going to look shitty. Don't put on Pollyanna pink glasses and think everything is sunshine and roses, but wipe the shit off and things will look less shitty. Boiled down, look for the little things. Silver linings and whatnot 🫂💜. Find something or do something to bring a little joy. Sending hugs 🫂🫂
