Here's what you need to do:
1. Find someone who needs help.
2. Help them.
That's it. It's not about you and your skills and your intelligence and your blessings and your depression and your inner psychology etc. etc. etc. It's about others.
They may need help in an area you're already familiar with, but maybe not. Either way, you'll learn something new, they'll get where they need to be, and your situation will profoundly morph into something else.
The sooner you start helping someone else, the sooner you will wonder how you could have ever posted this. A hundred ideas will come your way when you least expect them, along with the energy to do something about them. You will find that there's lots to be done and you're the perfect person to do them. You'll have a different problem then. You'll need help getting all of it done. So you'll be making a very different post to hn. I'm looking forward to that one.
- groaner 16y agoYou've struck a nerve here. I don't have a response yet... but thank you.
- bfung 16y agoSome more thoughts... Travelling: Go somewhere you don't speak the language, and where they won't be good at English. Don't do the tourist locations. Find out how other people live their daily lives and reflect upon it. Perhaps you will want to help people less fortunate than yourself. Perhaps you'll want to help people like yourself because you discover that you are actually less fortunate in some other sense. At the very worse, don't waste your life on video games and internet, unless you're going to create a video game that might need to be online. I had an even longer-winded reply, but it basically boils down to the 2 steps from edw519.
