>>54051243I'm sorry to hear that anon. I don't know what to say to you because I don't know you personally. What I can say is you are not alone in what you're experiencing. The one shared universal anxiety between all adults everywhere is that no one likes the passage of time. It's the one thing everyone on this planet is powerless against, rich and poor alike. Time does not discriminate. We all have our plans and expectations about what we are going to do and where we are going in the future, but in hindsight no one is ever satisfied with what they accomplished in the past year. There will always be that feeling that you could have done more.
Some people might tell you that "next year will be better". But you shouldn't do that. Setting arbitrary timelines about what you'll be doing next year, or what you should have done this year, is a mentally unhealthy way for an adult to live. You will end up living an unending state of apprehension. Instead, focus on what you should have done yesterday or the day before that, and what you should do tomorrow to make your life better. You said that you gave up video games to improve your life, but if picking up a videogame for a bit makes you feel better today then do it. Do what makes you feel better today, not what you think will make you better next year.
