    Wussup? Do you know (of) me? I was pretty active at the end of 2016 then...

    I got a job.

    I lost that creative and joyful spark in my life and now I focus all of my time to complete tasks that frustrate me and waste my time. I have to lie to myself so I don't anger customers, I look at my computer where I used to save the little brain doodles of the many stories I think up while on the toilet with an unfortunate smile, and I have started to become depressed.

    I want to quit my job, I don't want to work, and I just want to be happy, but life doesn't work that way. I need to work in order to be happy, but now my work saps away at my strength, depriving me of my happiness. Why must I live such a contradictory life? Why must I submit myself to such torture?

    Because I am merely human. I have desires and urges, such as eating (I desire food a lot, as I should).

    But what can I do? What are the little things that can be done every morning that seems to not matter but make a large difference in the end? I tried writing again, but now I have trouble sleeping again.

    Please, give me advice.

    I understand your feelings but as long you alive, you need to swallow that pain in order to live...
    Money isn't everything but without it, it would be hard to live,
    It just how it should be (for this age)

    I hate working. It's a mind thing I have been working on. Designing things isn't so bad, but when I am forced to do it...blargh.

    If you like books why not become a writer ? If you like drawing why not draw and sell eg a friend of mine just made a desing for a plushed animal which a company brought , if you like helping people become a nurse or medic there are lots of choices if you will countinue to be like that you will remain just a former shell of what you have been so try to do what you enjoy :p brother and sorry for grammar is 12 am and i just finished cleaning the house tired as ........

    At the end of the day, there is no easy solution for your problem
    My advice is to try to sleep it off or watch anime or read novels or whatever
    Also, try to change jobs, maybe become a freelancer or something

    Just live for the small happiness you can get out of life. Be it from some youtube video or watching cat memes, it is laughter that eventually help.

    Hmmm. Personally, I have an odd issue where if I do things for free, I have no problems. But if its to get paid, I start slacking. If not for the fact that I run my own business where it doesn't sole depend on me, I'd be pretty screwed.

    How about trying to convert your life into a game? As long as you can be strict with yourself...

    Assign point values to things you like, and point values to things you have to do. Thus, putting more motivation into what you are doing to "earn points" to do the things you like.

    don't leave, just hold on... and soon you will forget about the pains..... but if you leave it, then getting another one would be a huge pain.....
    i had issues with previous one, sometime they would start arguing for random reason that doesn't matters, in the end..... i gave up, and quit it.

    then how about you think yourself as a robot? do a routine, like a continously running program, create a folder in your brain then put your desire to read or something in it, then store it away while you're working, set a reminder that will notify you right away when you have a free time,. fooling yourself psycologicaly is hard but when you start your routine, you only need to do is to excecute it, and try your best to perform it,.

    decrease your need for money, get a cheap apartment with like 3 others so its like 400 a month, at that point you can literally choose your job because theres not a high requirement for pay, just enough to pass by, choose a job you hate the least- that drains you the least and then channel your leftover energy to enjoy life

    Well if you're looking for extra enjoyment even though it sounds clichéd I would reccomend eating a bit healthier and working out. For some people working out is a hassle and honestly that's just because you try working out alone. Working out with a friend or group makes it easier and more fun to work out. Also healthy foods are cheaper as long as you know how to shop.
