Volunteer work. It makes a tangible difference in other people’s lives and reminds me of all the things in my life that are going ok

Time spent with family/friends, time spent developing my self (learning new or honing skills) and helping others. I run a youth focused non-profit and even on the days I’m feeling tired and down, I always come out of the program sessions feeling reinvigorated. I also find purpose in peacefulness and nature so getting outside and watching a sunset/sunrise can also really help. All the best.

Living for eternal purpose. We only have one brief stay on earth and forever in the next. I want to invest my time in the great commission that Jesus told us to undertake, and that is to share the gospel and minister to others. There’s nothing more important than that.

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)

Yesterday I officially got diagnosed with ADHD and MDD. I knew that I was feeling depressed but somehow getting diagnosed made me feel worse. I feel like I am a big failure.

I’m so overwhelmed and lonely. Have no friends or family in the US. Don’t know what to do.

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)
