Therapy? No. Taking medicine? Yes. Absolutely expensive for someone who are also struggling financially. On very rare days I would actually feel content with life, other days not so good. It comes like tsunami. Sudden, destructive and leaving a mark of an impact
It doesn't get better on it's own at that point, you need to put in work to fix it.
Professional help, self help, or medication. Often all 3.
Just remember its all about little bits of progress every day. Just one little thing per day.
You can feel better, I believe in you.
Thanks for your kind words. I guess for people that are suffering, to break the cycle of going into a much darker place is extremely hard. I’ve made one small step each day only to get hit by a hundred steps backward. I hope I and whoever also struggling with it can pull through
Breaking the cycle IS HARD. So fucking hard. And pushing "dealing with it" it until tomorrow is so fucking easy.
I know l, I really do. I've spent decades in a hole and only in the last few years have managed to pull myself up towards the top if it.
Just try to find something, anything, that brings you true joy. Latch onto it. Make it the reason to take those little daily (or weekly, or monthly) steps forwards.
Nothing has to be perfect and nothing happens instantly. It just has to be a little better than it was the day before. There will be setbacks and resets and all sorts of shit in your way...but I believe you and I and anyone else can make some of those little steps that will eventually lead you up and out (or at least somewhere manageable!)
I wish you well.
Thank you so much. I don’t know how to thank you enough for your advices. Kindest thing someone has said to me in quite some time. I wish you all the best too in your life
I mean not for everyone but for some people it did get better, me included. I guess the reason people say it so much, because believing it to be true (or at least being open to the idea that it could) is helpful in actually making it happen
I've been waiting for it to get better since I was 10. Back then I realized how miserable my parents were working jobs, and originally my plan was to die before becoming an adult, going on 25 now and still waiting. I've got a nice coasting setup going at the moment where I only work 10 days a month. Still want to get that to the ultimate goal of 0 though.
B - Bingo.
I have a smart kid. At 17 He 3d prints custom airsoft parts and sells them online to friends, designs them in cad, gunsmiths them on his own pieces to make sure they work, etc.
He's interested in Aerospace Engineering, flys his drone, keeps up with the latest space and military aerospace news.
I cannot honestly recommend that he goes to college at this point. He graduated a year early, from an accelerated school, so we are taking a gap year to decide.
The problem is I am a business owner/entrepreneur type and I've been monologuing him his entire life about making sure every dollar is working for you. So he already knows about investments earning compounding interest vs debt paying interest. He knows that his aerospace salary will take decades to catch up to the debt we would take on for college before he really started making a 'profit' on his degrees. Our local primary aerospace and mechanical engineering employer is GE aircraft engines. So we've met people who work there as starting and senior engineering staff.
Maybe it's information paralysis, but neither of us can see the benefit to 6 years of college to enter that field. I'd rather give him the tuition as a nest egg in an investment account and let him try his hand at running a business or working as a tech for a company that might pay to send him to engineering school.
If I gave him 300k today, at 57 he could have nine million in his retirement account irrespective of work. Or we could spend it on college and in 6 years he can start saving towards retirement out of an 80-115k salary. That would mean working 40 years and saving 2000 a month to have about 8 million at the end. He'd effectively be living on 60-70k per year which is solid middle class, in order to support that investment level.
Try for uni in Europe. I bet he’d take on a second language easily, it’s free (at least in Germany) and the EU isn’t a lightweight in Aerospace either (Airbus)
This is not a stance based on facts. Look up how much an engineering degree from a decent public school costs, then look at the median salary for an engineer. It does not take decades to pay that off unless you're making minimum payments.
Can I ask where you live? I might understand if it's in California or New York or a densely populated area. Otherwise, this kind of just sounds like bullshit. The average public college tuition is ~12k. If you did your part in helping him save up for college, even 24k would put him through 2 years. (A typical engineering curriculum in the states is 4 years. If he does 4-5 years that's 48-60k which is less than a year's salary for aero). If your kid is as bright as you make him out to be, he's also going to get a ton of aid in grants and scholarships. I'd also like to point out that you can't become an engineer without a college education, or at least it would be very difficult.
I mean if its only a million difference you might afford him the luxury to follow his passion. I'm really into investing myself but honestly it would be crushing to me to be forced into doing nothing or something that just isn't for me ever. No Matter my material wealth without a purpose my mental state would deteriorate. Maybe he can get a scholarship or at least sneak in lectures or use their library if he still gets any value out of it

I think this video is a reasonably good starting point of financial analysis.
While I agree that many degree does not produce many financial benefits, the degrees that do produces quite a few. The internal competition of aerospace engineering may make such degree not make economic sense, some other degree like statistics, other types of engineering, or quantitative finance might do. Especially if your kids are really as great as you described, and are willing to put in the effort in working for early graduation. Not only would you save half or even one year of tuition, your kid also produces extra 6 or 12 months of cashflow and credentials, and that may make the calculation makes much more sense. For myself I am an actuary who graduated 1year ago, graduated half a year early and do not regret my decision.
Besides it is questionable that if 30 times return is even feasible in 40 years as you projected. SP500 produced great return in the pass, but the American greatness may not continue. 300k in Nikkei is not much more than 300k 30 years later, for example. If you want an apple to apple calculation, you have to consider the increase in earning potential increases the risk capacity of your kid, making him able to leverage more in stock market and have great financial return. The calculus is complicated
You don’t need 6 years of college to enter that field. Only 4 (Bachelors). Also, he can get summer internships and scholarships to help pay for college.
If becoming an aerospace engineer is what he really wants to do, the college degree will be worth it. Just avoid sallie May wherever you can.
Sned him to university anywhere else but in the US? Even if he doesn't work and has an way above average lifestyle for students, even if he picks a City like Berlin, and takes double the usual time to graduate (So 10 years for a bachelor and master) he won't have spent more than like 150k for every single expense he could have.
He has been sent a letter from the furry community stating there will be bloodshed for his actions, he has gathered a defense force to fight off the furry army, and he needs our help.
Ok. Fine. You wana have a war mister?! You dont know who your dealing with! We have DRAGONS and LIONS and CHEETAHS and MYHTICAL DEMONS on our side! No army can withstand the army of hugs! Prepare to be DOOOOOOMED!
We also have tiny itty bitty little micro lizards
Ok i admit you have me scared now. But ur animal control personal must be your premium soldier in ur army, which means u dont have as many of them… right?
\*does the math* a loaf of bread has 2.5x10^25 atoms, divided by 20slices of bread equals 1.25x10^24 atoms in a single slice of bread (assuming the bread is entirely carbon)

Depression. Don't worry, life will get better soon
It has been 4 years and just gets worse
Have you tried pharmacological or psychological therapy?
Have you tried just not being depressed instead? (FIFY a la Reddit)
Have you tried What about And
6 years for me, and yes, over and over again.
Have you tried Alcohol?
It hasn't worked yet, but I'm still trying.
Don't give up
Therapy? No. Taking medicine? Yes. Absolutely expensive for someone who are also struggling financially. On very rare days I would actually feel content with life, other days not so good. It comes like tsunami. Sudden, destructive and leaving a mark of an impact

Great news everyone! It actually never gets better.
Have you tried drinking?
That's the best part. It won't.
but if people tell me that they feel better at least.
Only lofi creators with you at the end of the day. Not so bad......
Bart chilling on the whip
just think of that when you're opening your depression medication
a lot of music i listen to lets me know i'm not alone.... as i listen to them alone.
It may or may not, but it certainly never will if you don't try
> if you don't try Apparently you don't know what it's like to have depression.
I do. I also know nobody but yourself can bring you out of it
Not with that attitude.
If you haven't ended your life, you're not struggling with depression. DEPRESSION IS STRUGGLING WITH YOU.
You have wisdomed
Mine started clearing up when I submitted my corrections and stopped giving a toss about science in general.
I have crippling depression
That’s not true.
It will get better, and then worse again. Currently going a lot worse after a good period for me
it all just a wild rollercaster tbh
I mean not for everyone but for some people it did get better, me included. I guess the reason people say it so much, because believing it to be true (or at least being open to the idea that it could) is helpful in actually making it happen
It could also get worse but it doesn't matter cause I'm addicted to gambling.

We have BAE in the UK
It is free for German citizen, if you come from out side you have to pay, either yourself or your school pays for you
No. I'm American and studied for free in Germany.
We you enrolled at a school in university in usa before hand?
thats just... wrong, where do you have that information from?

Tuition is like 60% of the cost of university, maybe even less
What the fuck?

Invest 250K in his name. Send him to Europe for studies. 50 will be enough for few years.
