My youngest son Is 28. I tell him (and his brothers), invest in yourself- you can’t go wrong esp since nothing else in this life is a given for you, or anybody.
You are your best asset. Remember that
Good luck! ✨
Piivot to something fulfilling to yourself. Invest in yourself and educate yourself on what matters to you. Find your purpose in life. For me, it's knowing that I am making someone else's life happier, better, or at ease. It's helping others. Life isn't about me, it's about helping each other. I too, have a son your age, and he struggles with the same life complexities. We all have our issues. Find the good in them to get you past the hard parts. Learn from the mistakes, and renew yourself from that experience.
Find something that you enjoy you are young enough to try out different things. Also start saving for retirement while you are young.
Do you have a Bible? Do you attend church anywhere? These are great resources. I have twin sons who are about to turn 31. I am a full-time caregiver to one because he has cerebral palsy and mental health issues. What gives me hope each day is knowing that God sees, loves, and wants a relationship with all of us. My future and that of my sons' is secure in Christ who died so that we who believe in Him have the promise of eternal life. He will meet you where you are. No matter what your background or circumstances. I'll be praying for you!
Why do you say that?
Identify the things that have triggered or worsened your depression. Analyze them and see which things you can mitigate. Is it a job you hate? Look for a new one (or leave if you have some money saved up). Exposure to toxic people? Cut them out of your life. So often depression is caused by things around us rather than just popping up out of nowhere. While we’re can’t always control the world around us, to the extent we can limit or eliminate exposure to things that trigger us ,we should. And I agree with all the other comments above. There is no silver bullet but several incremental steps can have a big impact in totality. And PLEASE call 988 if you are feeling suicidal. I say this as someone that has called them before.
