I feel like a prisoner in my own life
For as long as I can remember I have suffered from severe depression, about 6 months ago I took mushrooms and had a severe trip that ended me in a hospital, I can tell it changed something in my brain and I gave not been depressed since, for the first time in years I’m able to be happy but when I look at my life and whats to come I don’t like what I see, I hate concept of having to “go to work” and having most of my time dedicated to working, but I’ve been told my whole life I need money to live and the only way to get it is to get a job and work. I can’t deal with the stress and demands that a job brings, even part time makes me feel like a prisoner in my own life and in the free time I have all I can think about is that I have to go back. I can’t live like that so I quit my job about three weeks ago and am doing absolutely nothing, but I need to do something in order to live but I won’t sacrifice my happiness for it. I’ll give up everything to live happily
Please help me find a way to live happily
