  • Is there anything I can do?

    Yes, lot of stuff that you can’t even think about.

    Your mind is playing tricks on you. It manipulates reality into an image that seems hopless and for you its the true state of the world.

    Step 0 is to find safe space.

    For starters I began with walking out of the house as much as possible (walks, riding a bike, hanging out in the libraries and malls to not freeze during wintrer)

    Find minimum wage job that you can hold for a longer amount of time so you can earn money to try and rent a room somewhere to escape from your house.

    Then you can proceed into step number one, where therapy and medication begin to work as you have safe space to go back to every day.

    There maybe a possibility to convince your parents to send you away into the university and to live in cheap dorm rooms where you could escape from home and back in your healing journey.











  • Can you judge a work of art by it’s virality? Should you judge by virality?

    A lot of times in history artists got recognition they deserved only after their death. When they ware alive they lived in poverty struggling to make ends meet.

    There is a lot of internet 1.0 preserved by internet archive that I didn’t get to experience. There are flash games that I would love to preserve and show the next generation.

    We wouldn’t have known how Scotts Cawthon games have looked like before he made FNAF if not for the preservation efforts.





  • It’s hard but doable.

    There are couple of things that can synergize with each other, so you don’t need to do one thing perfectly, you can make some progress in one and move one to the next one.

    step zero: (eat sleep exercise)

    eating well will help you sleep and exercising sleeping will help you exercising and eating at regular interwals exercising will help you sleep and burning the food

    step one: (become hobbist psychologist)

    Read some books: “What happened to you by Bruce D. Perry and Oprah Winfrey” - you can download ebooks from piracy sites

    Youtube lectures: “heathy gamer gg” was particulary helpful for me but it has some (IMO) minor controversies and innacuracies. Still VERY helpful to get started.

    Seek profesional doctors as the likes of Andrew Tate are also targeting depressed men (all people on the internet are men until proven otherwise)

    step two: (emotional awerness)

    Develop emotional inteligence. There are couple of techniques there that you will discover in step one That will help you train your inteligence.

    Journaling, meditation, etc. are some of them

    step three: (discover life and who you are)

    this will come naturally after step two. You will need to seek new experiences.

    step four: (build life worth living and build your purpose)

    [I am at this stage so I can’t really help you much, but everything that I have learned is helping me immensely]


  • The day I exercised my freedom and freewill.

    I have decided to clean my room and actually went through with it.

    The trauma crippled me for the long time and I couldn’t do anything from my own violition. That day it has changed. I am in charge of my own life from that point onward.

    (I hoped that it would be better. It’s still murky and gray but at least it’s not pitch black. There is a long way ahead of me)
