"Bull. Shit."

I was studying computer science then, and I’m working as a software engineer now, so probably just as expected. Probably thought I would have gotten married and had kids younger but otherwise life has been…boring

Don't bother

What do you mean bitcoin?

Early 30s now. I've been on this path since I was 18, so I guess I'd be happy to hear that I stuck with it. I'd probably also be disappointed to hear that I'm actually kind of bad at it.

"Yeah you probably should have jumped off that bridge".

:(

Are you OK? Have you got access to some kind of therapy?

[–] MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'm fine.

I've been in and out of therapy most of my life. Therapists are useless (for me). Not once have they told me something I didn't already know. I know why I respond to things the way I do. I know where the trauma started. I know what copeing mechanism I've developed and how they can effect relationships.

Keeping a journal doesn't help. Meditation doesn't help. All the various other bullshit they have tried since I was a kid have been terrible.

Medication makes my brain feel like molasses which makes me wanna step into oncoming traffic even more so than normal.

It is what it is.

Things are going mostly according to plan? Can I give advise? If so it would be buy stocks as soon as possible bitcoin/doge with skyrocket so buy that as well as sp500. Sell everything the day trump wins the 2024 election. Then buy the big dip in late Feb

You read the question backwards (you weren't the only one :/ )
