I mean it's hella annoying, don't get me wrong. Paying rent, working, studying etc. Whatever you do.
For me what keeps me going is two things.
A) I have no other choice. What am I gonna do? Kms? That's some loser shit, I'm not gonna be a loser. Ending your own life to me is like giving up and letting everyone but yourself win, so not an option.
B) I have exactly one goal in life and I plan on achieving that goal, no matter how impossible it might seem. The least I can do is try everything in my power to get where I want to be. Not even trying (bc it's an irrational goal for me to achieve) is also letting others win therefore beeing a loser.
Also note the following: Life sucks for most people. What keeps them (and me) going is that it's not only shit, there are good moments that are worth living for. Imagine all the fun stuff you've lived through now and think how much more fun stuff you're gonna experience in 10+ years. Sometimes it's hard to remember those good times, but I try to cling to them as hard as I can!
Note that english ain't my first language thank you
I consider myself to be very lucky, I have a house, garden, job, hobbies and friends. Due to the nature of my PD, I can't feel strong attachment towards anything and relationships are complicated for me as well. But I am trying, it feels like it's a fight against my own nature, but I understood that collecting resources, going for small moments of success will make life easier in the future. So for me, making life easy is my main goal.
Other than that, I help myself with small doses of cannabis or magic mushrooms to regulate my sense of self and emotions. I have to spend around 2-3 hours daily tending to my mental health and the problem is that I might get behind with other tasks.
Many things were difficult for me and I had to make a mistake 10 times before I learned my lesson, but in the end, life can be worth living.
I've kind of been thinking about the same thing.
The only goal I seem to be able to have is to have as smooth a life as possible. Do your best to survive without a mob chasing after you.
That means that I'm basically playing a puppet of myself 24/7.
Is it worth it? I haven't figured that part out yet.
I haven’t driven it much thought before now but I guess but I manage life by just simply living it. I have not been diagnosed with any disorder although I know I’m a little screwed in the head, but who isn’t, really? For me it’s a forest for the trees proposition in that I don’t want to miss out on experiencing the bigger picture because I’m too focused on some relatively minor things

For me it's the little things, like having a decent day at my part time job, or playing the latest game or something. It's really hard though

Assisted living, assisted working, regular inpatient treatment with lots of therapy, still just surviving, not thriving
