Trending @Infosys; 30+ depressed me
Hi I am working as software dev with 13LPA. i am not happy in my life, i feel like lost , 80% of my salary goes in EMI, single, I feel depressed and unsure of wat am going thru in my life.
If you are introvert then make friends,friends increases happiness many folds when you have their company,have some friend circle to share your joy and sorrows with them,being all alone sucks when you have no one near to you to speak to.Speaking from my own experience not fully recovered though.
thanks, i work alone with no team in DC, eat alone, not sure where i can make some frnds
Take a step back and plan your finances,also stop comparing with others in sm,it increases depression so u can reduce ur screen time.Gym or engage in physical activities or hobbies which relieves you of boring routine.Finally Spiritually connecting with God helps.
I can relate to it buddy. As @Navigator10 mentioned, take a step back and do those things and I know, sometimes, even after doing all these things, you will still feel the same or even worse but just know that, these feelings are temporary. Some days you feel happy, some days you feel lost, during that time, give yourself some time, don't go too hard on yourself. Find something like gaming, gym, any sports and indulge in it, give some time to it and see if that makes you happy. If not, try something else like reading books, doing some guided meditations etc. Also, please call your mom and dad, and talk to them sometime. Everything is temporary and I believe you buddy. Sending you good vibes, and more power to you! Never give up, and Conquer from within buddy! ♥️💪👊
thanks bro
try to cultivate a spiritual life and find a higher meaning in your life. and start going to the gym or be physically prime
Bro I am 36, soon to be 37, I am getting 12. Lpa ctc , I have 4 offers in hand. My family has some issues , my father is too old to relocate and my mother is too old to cook for herself, my wife is a house wife she doesn't earn . My sister has family issue and need to take care of that. Even if I want to i cannot move out of my home town. All other companies are paying me 20lpa/ 19.8 lpa. Which is a much better location.
Boy money is not the only thing that will give you peace. I know it's painful when u earn less. But be with your loved ones. Else work hard and smart to switch for better jobs rather than feeling depressed.
I have job but I cannot join. I have to live with that pain.
I am at the same boat man, most of the tome is spent in anxiety and depression and uncertainty about the future
If 80% salary going to emi either sell the asset and downgrade or work increasing you salary !! Very few people know their true purpose in life but just go with the flow. At some point they ask themselves this question!!! So don’t worry too much on it you have many folks with you. As manag suggested find / explore things and see what clicks/interests you.
Prioritize your career first as most part of salary you say goes to EMIs. Don't want to comment on why your EMI is so high, but please Plan your finances properly.
You might want to switch company and improve the salary package immediately from what I understood.
Once you have switched, start taking care of yourself. Your health and Personal time should always be the priority.
P.s. I am 30+, introverted and single too, used to be depressed during COVID. After they asked WFO, It was hell all over. No friends at DC, work life balance deteriorated even further. I was commuting every 15 days to my hometown and back to the city. Lost interest at a point.
3 months into WFO, I joined a PG near the office. in little to no time I made two rooms of friends every one from different backgrounds. Although I am older, They like me around, we go to gym together, we work together, roam , play Badminton and watch movies on weekends.
Sleep early. And wake up early in the morning. Just do this one thing and see how your life change. Just try this one step. The rest of the things will follow.
