What do you mean by contribution ? Cause I'm pretty selfish atm and I don't have the need to help random people.
Also, I think curing my anxiety is more important than depression, though I doubt it's even possible to be completely free of caring about what other's think of you.
But if I solved that, depression probably wouldn't be as severe. |
BlackWigger,
By contribution I mean using whatever talents or interests you have (or had before you spiraled into your current state) to create value, whatever that may mean to you. Creating value is the best way to create and sustain personal happiness. Ultimately if that value helps others, it will sustain your happiness at an even higher level. However, until you've secured your own happiness you'll be incapable and uninterested in helping to secure the happiness of anyone else. Of course, in your current state, you wouldn't recognize or believe in the truth of this, but it is true nonetheless. If anxiety is a bigger problem for you than depression then: 1) there are medicines that are
extremely effective to control it (klonopin or clonazepam works exceptionally well for generalized anxiety) while 2) you work on your anxiety's underlying cause. These problems really are solvable despite what you currently think.
