    Motivation is nice when it's there, but it's fleeting and dumb to depend on if you want results and actual change.

    What you're feeling is called unfullfillment, and it can kill you long before you are dead. Consider all the things you consume. Now consider all the things you create. Guess which list is the source of your fulfillment, your confidence and well-being. Self-discipline and good habits will help you get these things done.

    The best tip I can give you is to never have a wasted day again. Exercise, get some writing done, read a book—work towards something a little each day. It will help you sleep better.

      Thank you! I'm having another concern, because I don't constantly live in one place, which means I never have a feeling like home, my appartmen is packed up like a box, so how can I reduce those insecure and anxious feeling if I don't know whether I'll be out again or not?

        That's a strange situation, but I imagine living cleanly and sparsely will help. There is a lot less anxiety about moving when it only takes you an hour to get everything packed. Good luck.

          Thanks again! Yeah I know it's weird, due to personal reason I don't have a stable lifetime, it's always on the run I sometimes feel like I'm a fugitive but just no one chasing after me. You light me up, I do have to clean my messed up apartment. I feel much more better now! Glad to hear it from you! U 2 good luck!

      Yeah, but I'm walking-depressed. I mean now I feel good for no reasons, but later I'll again walking into this vicious circle. I mean it's like for 3 months. I constantly changed my mood at home, if I'm out there I'm like a normal person, laughing chatting bit of energetic however I'm alone I'm suddenly off... I also don't talk to people about my life. What's wrong with me?

        You feel good for no reason because when you are depressed you lose most energy and life that is inside you and your mind reverts back to natural instincts that your brain has programmed to rely on. These instincts are based off of experiences you had when you were not depressed and also based off of natural human reaction.You don't talk to people about your life because your life is always changing and like previously mentioned your brain will not have the required information to talk about when you are depressed, because it is low on energy and has nothing to refer to from the past. Talking about your life also only triggers the pain and makes it grow from memories of trauma. You are happy around others because you know deep down you can be happy and be around others living a normal life, as a living being your entire person knows this to be true and you need to know this too.

        Try to solve the problems I have , no matter the cost. Feel the pain everyday and figure out what I need to do and force myself to do it. If you have trouble sleeping try sleep pills, if you have trouble eating, eat quick(20 mins before body knows to say it is getting full) Go to bed early at like 9pm or so and keep clean (shower ,shave etc) eat well(use a calorie calculator to gain or lose weight) Don't beat off or expose yourself to man made bs such as unfair games or quizzes. Most important thing is realizing to instantly accept facts and mistakes and realize that they hold no weight.For example say you just failed a test and know you are not good at math, think:so what, it is what it is and I can change it; it will only hurt to hold on to this thought and holding on will not help me at all. Realize you are worth it and can change regardless of who you are, I have hated myself before and put myself through hell and laughed at my own pain during and after.But I just accept that as me hurting and the past. I knew I could change and fought through the pain until I could love who I had become and forgot the past and enjoy the present. Good luck.

          Thanks for your support! I always feel guilty. Even if I was being optimistic, I knew I can't perserve, ended up in fail. I guess I need to change the mind set, but terrible thing is my thoughts are coming one after one, I literally just had something bright in my mind it all flushed out by another negative one then a new positive one popped up killed off by a new bad one.... It really drives me crazy... I can't stop thinking...

            The same thing happened to me. I thought about lots of terrible things, but just realize this is not the real you;this is the hurting you. You at your worst. The thoughts will only heal if you try to get down a solid, healthy routine.Until than you will have to live with the pain, but if you know someone in real life who has been through even some of what you are going through, then they can help. Best of luck.
