How do I stop being a lazy fuck?
I'm currently suffering from depression and I'm taking 50mg of Sertraline every day. I'd surely say I got better if I'd have to compare my current state to one year ago, but it's still not enough. I want an actual change into my life, and I know that I'll have to get to work in order to achieve it. But my indolence is overwhelming and it prevents me to do any productive task. Also, even if I accurately plan my day, I always feel too tired to performe the most basic and fundamental thing to get started. Furthermore, I think I might be suffering from a minor case of ADHD, since my attention span is quite short and basically useless, but I haven't told to my psychiatrist yet.
I need to act now. Recommend me any way to get my ass off the bed so that I can reach a successful normie life. Supplements? Meds? Life-coach books? Anything that would work or that have actually worked for you.
Let's also start a /climbingtothetop/ thread, I guess.
>how do I stop being a lazy fuck?
I too need an answer to this question. I might just off myself because living takes too much damn effort.
You want to stop being lazy? Call your internet company and have it shut down.
I lived without internet for 9 months. All of a sudden i had lots of time to do everything. Most important, when i wanted to use internet, i had to leave the house and go to the public library or some coffee place.

>50mg
Max dose is 200, so you obviously haven't tried everything. Personally I hated it when I was on it (mostly because my parents forced me when I wasn't depressed) but it could be great for you and you just aren't taking enough. Get your psychiatrist to up the dosage.

Step by step guide on: how to be depressive but productive
>1. raise blanket
>2. leave bed
>3. Do task
>4. return to bed feeling great because you did something
>5. want to continue it tomorrow and the days after
>6. don't do it because step 1 - 3 actually take tremendous effort and aren't worth
>7.???
>8. try again 2 months later
Every single time. Why, why must I be like this.
even leaving the bed takes hours to do because I'm just not motivated enough to actually do anything.
>>27494907
Don't do this.
it made my depression far worse and i nearly offed myself.
the whole " internet is bad" meme is a lie made up by frightened soccer moms
>>27494907
>purposely removing your only reason to live anymore
I don't think this is a good idea
I personally am jumping back on testosterone (steroids). Its the only time in my life where I felt like a human being and a man. It got me my first girlfriend, everything.
I tried coming off and Im like you OP. Lazy, lethargic, couldnt be fucked with anything.
For any robots reading this and considering it, make sure you know what youre doing. If you dont its a recipe for suicide. The negative hormonal effects of steroids are catastrophic, it ruins lives faster than any rec drug
>>27496016
Yeah, it's not.
Came real close to killing myself when my internet was down for a month a couple winters ago
>>27496136
>steroids
My dick and balls are small enough as it is, I can't afford any shrinkage.
>>27494348
This is truly the worst problem. If you don't have self control you can't force yourself to do the things you need to do in order to improve your life.
>>27494907
This only works for normies who have lots of shit going on in their life that they need to attend to. If I didn't have the internet I would have nothing at all to do.
>>27495606
>4. return to bed feeling great because you did something
Yeah, that's not how depression works. You don't get satisfaction or enjoyment from doing things, the only minor pleasure comes from being able to stop.
>>27496136
I wish I could do this but I'm too worried about fucking up my hormones. I seriously think low testosterone is one of my main issues.

You guys are wrong. All the time you spend on the internet is fun, but it's a waste of attention. If you get rid of it you'll probably just watch a lot of tv, or hook up your old ps2.
What you need to do is get rid of all distractions. Cocoon for 6 months, read shit and better yourself physically and mentally (meditate/psychedelics/therapy)
If you spend the last 4 months not looking at porn when you get out you'll get a gf within weeks guaranteed. And if you use the momentum to keep going you'll blow your mind with where you end up.
>>27494348
Quit taking antidepressants and go get some adderall fag
Antidepressants make you apathetic and stagnant..
>>27497858
But if I get rid of the internet, that means my socialization goes to exactly zero. Isolation is not good for people's minds. There's no way you could do that without becoming severely depressed. People who are too inept to socialize in real life use the internet as a replacement. Again, this is only an option for normies who have enough of a social life to do this without going insane.
>>27497988
There's a fundamental misunderstanding in your logic brother.
Internet communication isnt the same thing as real interaction. Internet chatting is to social contact as jerking off is to sex.
>>27498232
My point is youre basically isolated already. And youre putting a bandaid on a deep cut by whatever shit youre doing online.
>>27494348
There's a thing called micro habits. Because motivation doesn't work, the key is to build habits. Micro habits are really impossible to fail. Just two pushups a day, or write 25 words a day, this way you can change brain chemistry.

>If you spend the last 4 months not looking at porn when you get out you'll get a gf within weeks guaranteed
Doctors hate this, for only -1 internet you'll be receiving a free gf in a few weeks

>Yeah, that's not how depression works.
DUH YOUR'RE WRONG OMG KYS FGT ATTENTION WHORE YOURE NOT REALLY DEPRESSIVE OMG
veri nic sherlock
of course you don't feel great unless you binge antidepressants, but you feel kind of different if you've done something you liked earlier in your life
I'll be rude and say that you indeed feel a little better, because it's sometimes relaxing, like drawing and stuff, but you don't feel great. excuse my englando. I'm not a native
>>27498522
It's not like you'll instantly become a casinova you pleb. You'll lower your standards and finally talk to a fatty or an uggo that's beneath you if you follow the other steps. Their neediness and awkeardness will teach you, plus you'll get experience with women.
Start with a 1. Fuck your way up to a 10.
>>27498636
>implying I'll want to spend this much time, effort and energy for this
I can't even be bothered to leave my room for more than 10 mins, who do you think I am?
>>27498712
Youre someone who's unhappy with your life. Youre someone who at one point believed they would accomplish something. Imagine dying having spent 50 years as a neet.
>>27498926
>Youre someone who's unhappy with your life.
I already know that
> Imagine dying having spent 50 years as a neet.
50 years? you've set the bar really high
I never want to get that old, worker or neet life aside.
Max 28 -29 years I guess, desu

Wow, I came in here hoping for an answer as well.
I don't know what to do in your situation OP, mine is very similar.
Tell your doctor everything you just mentioned at the top of the thread, and see if they have any suggestions as well, as they have a lot of experience of helping people in that same situation.
It sounds like a textbook case of depression.
Before you go to sleep, shave, brush your teeth, nails, shower, so you feel like you have accomplished at least something at the end of the day before sleeping so you can feel more at ease and relaxed.
Set 9 hours to sleep, and do so as comfortably as you can. When your 9 hours of sleep are up, brush your teeth, shave, shower, etc, so you feel like you have achieved something at the start of the day.
Lots of baby steps, take control of something I think we can all agree upon that is doable in your life first. Once you got that mastered it will spread into all other parts of your life.
I can't recommend any self help books or anything, I don't find they help.
Keep talking to your doctor, and take control of everything you do before you sleep, how long you sleep, and what happens after you are done sleeping.
That is already a huge part of your life and a huge amount of health you will have mastered. If you can do that, you will have the foundation to do anything.
