I don't believe I have weighed in on this

I don't have children, but I would die for my family, doesn't matter which member of them. Same with my best friend.

But yeah, the thought of my family being without me, despite myself thinking I am insignificant, would probably be horrific. I am imagining a scenario where one of them isn't there, and it's just depressing

So, in my darkest moments, I push on, mostly for my nephews because they both seem to be very impressionable with me and I want to be the good uncle

Break the centuries long chain of alcohol abuse and cigarettes. Well, I mean, I still use a lot of alcohol, but I was clean for 4.75 years. Then nonsense started happening with my work/life situation that was just as frustrating as covid. Only thing was, I was more frustrated and worried about mandates than getting covid, because I already got it once, and proceeded to never get it again.

Point being, life is a shit show. Some parts of life are really great, sometimes it completely sucks and I've been at the tip top of the mountain and at the bottom of the deepest chasm, mentally speaking. Before I was put on ketamine daily (there was no other option for me with my psych), I was a constant wreck and I would have terrifying flashbacks of my ptsd that happened, about almost half a lifetime ago.

Now, considering the position I am in, I am perfectly content.

As long as I can just get enough scratch to get the hell outta my current living situation, get a well functioning car, and then find my real talent and monetize it will I truly be complete.

Journal. Write poetry. You'd be surprised at how well you can write it, after a few tries.

Drawing / sketching is also helpful. At least, it has been for me.

I would advise against any anti depressants at this time, because you're not in the best of mindsets, and ssri's and antidepressants by and large are mostly placebo effect, and I don't want you having more negative thoughts than you might already have.

The best thing that helped me? Aside from psychedelics, has been drawing, writing, playing video games, running/exercise,  meditation, and, when weather permits, sitting in the sunshine in a remote area by a trail, sitting and having the sunlight hit your face. Bonus points if birds are chirping as well and it's comfortably warm out.
