THIS is your lucky day.

The ONE thing you need to do is let go.

Except letting go is never easy.

In order to do it, there is no choice but to face everything.

My favorite method is pen and paper.

Write down EXACTLY what is making you feel depressed.

Visualize your demons.
Once you write down everything, it is time to think about a very simple question

What can I do about each of these stuff that is bothering me?

If you can do something about it, put a check.

If you can't do anything, leave it blank. We'll get back to this.
Now for all the stuff you can fix,

Define exactly what you should do to get it done.

Explicitly write what you need to do to stop worrying about this and that.

Fix a deadline.

You now have goals.

Achieve them.
For the things you have no control over,

Ask yourself:

Is this temporary or will I never be able to fix it?

If it's temporary, work on being ready as soon as you can act.

Long term goals.

If it's not temporary, then cross that line and never think about it again.
It takes WILL to truly cross things out of your mind.

If you've reached this far in the thread then it is clear that you are determined to do what it takes.

Get a pen. Get a paper.

Do as I say.

I've been exactly where you are.
It's now time to build your new routine.

You know what you need to do but you need to build discipline.

My friend @Caesar_VICI can definitely help with that.

Start taking care of your body and you will instantly feel satisfaction.

Make yourself feel better.
Dont wait.
Food.

If you're depressed you're having a weird relationship with food right now.

Pen. Paper.

Get rid of what harms you.

Make your new menu.

Take care of yourself.
Here is a bonus:

Include selfish routines in your daily life.

Go for a walk.
Get yourself a beer when you're back home.
Smoke a cigarette or better (only if you already do)

Again, MAKE YOURSELF FEEL BETTER.

The little things in life are the best ones.
Here is another (dumb) bonus:

Drink coffee.

Energize yourself to be able to get shit done.

Force start your brain and fuel it to never stop working.
Last bonus:

Get @DejaRu22's Terminate.

It will help you.

I'm going to do two history threads on Ethiopia, one on its ancient history, one on its modern story (1800 to today). 🇪🇹

I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 (sub-thread):


The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC 🇪🇹


Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹


References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹
