I need to get out of my depression. I didn’t realize I was depressed until I had a dream, just now, where I ran into an old college classmate. She was telling me how depressed she was and I was just thinking “but your life is like mine”.
I just self-administered the IHQ-9 and it indicates me as having “severe depression”. So I need to get that figured out.
In the past I’ve taken medication for it, but I can’t seem to find any arrangement that allows me to take the medication continually. This really worries me. My life is a total failure including financially.
A family member has been helping me financially but it’s ruining their finances to do so.
probably to do more action, volunteer more(at homeless shelters, tree planting) and go to more protests
More psychedelics
I have a few, but the general theme of 2025 for me is “cultivation.” Ignoring personal life milestones as goals, my biggest areas of work will be to improve my fitness and start a training regimen (I know, typical lol), going vegan once and for all, accelerating my language learning journey, and finishing the 30 or so works left on my “essential Leftist theory” personal reading list I set out for myself, including Capital Volumes 1-3. I want to go into 2026 a more well-rounded individual that is more knowledgeable and broadly skilled.

This is the first time I’ve ever felt the coming year isn’t going to be great. In fact, I’d rather stay in this one if I could.
To get my book published and travel more. I want to see Hawaii, Fremont Street, Big Ben, Akihabara, and a tropical ocean.
I published using the Kindle store. It’s not for everyone, but it scratched my itch. I framed my first cheque as a “published author” … I didn’t make any money, but that’s not why I published.
You don’t need anyone’s approval, you don’t need to pay anyone you don’t want to and you can do it from anywhere with an internet connection.
That’s a great list of places to go

Actually starting to learn music production. I’ve had this passion for so long yet laziness has prevented me from developing it.
Less YouTube

The Odin Project
To get a better job than the one I have now. But the effort required to study for interviews is rather daunting…
Take it one step at a time. Practice makes perfect and it’s likely that you’ll fail many times before you succeed. Keep ar it. You can do this!
Thank you for the encouragement!
