I used to do shit

Hormone levels change (drop) rapidly as you age. By 50, your testosterone alone is probably down 50% or more of when you were 20.

I stay feeling younger and healthier by posting on GLP, humiliating Democrats/homosexuals, getting plenty of sunshine, and shooting weird shit filled with tanerite.

Maybe it is because you are a prisoner and don’t even know it.

You’re right!

Also, Metal is pretty much dead; I mean, rock in general is dead, but metal even moreso, there’s barely even a metal indie scene anymore.

Sure, there are still old fart rockers cranking out decent tunes and touring, but those musicians made a name for themselves when they were young; it’s hard to take musicians seriously if they’re just coming into the scene as old people, even if the music is really good! You have to have a foundation left behind from projects in your young days, have a legacy laid out, if you will.

What you can do is create an animated band, where the band members are like cartoon characters or wear suits and masks the way Gwar did and jut leave your age and true personality as ambiguous as possible.

No one knows how much time they have left...You are giving up on crossing the finish line while others are right beside you...


I just did some shit!

No, its a sign of depression.
Forcing yourself to do different and new things may help.
If you really can't force yourself getting a prescription may be needed, but I would avoid it if possible.

If nothing else you might find other people you like hanging with, and perhaps you get a new skill or find a new interest that pulls you forward. Its normal fr you to exhaust old interests.. sometime temporarily, sometimes for the rest of your life. Maybe try to reconnect with the family and friends you neglected for your passions.

Personally I would recommend setting a goal to become more self-sufficient.. move rural- change jobs if you have to . I can't tell you how challenging and rewarding is has been for me - and every day I am learning something new. Putting yourself into a new environment you aren't well adapted to will force you to take an interest - in the same way your current job and need to eat will force it-- but unlike your job, you will be forced to tackle more unknown and unforeseen problems..because you have to.

I have learned to hunt, shoot, garden, weld, deal with livestock, cut and bail hay, run loaders and excavation equipment, learned how to best irrigate by ditch , got good at small engine repair, installed buildings of various kinds including a geodesic greenhouse and DYI walking fridge and freezer units, , installed my own solar.. and for fun built speakers, learned to jitterbug with my wife, raised children ( always an adventure) built steampunk Pipe Art and a MAME based arcade machine.. the worlds a big place - something will float your boat.. but you gotta keep trying new bodies of water.

Likewise.

I went through the same thing as you OP.

I had my Testosterone checked last year and yep, they were low.

I tried the shots and WOW! It was like a Fountain of Youth for me.

The 'head fog' went away and my energy levels were like when I was in my 20's.

Unfortunately, they wanted me to donate blood every month, so I stopped taking the shots.

I am currently taking a supplement called 'Weider Prime Testosterone Support'. At just half the recommended dose I am feeling almost as good as the shots.

Get checked ASAP OP!

Creating art is closely associated with ego gratification - you - or an aspect of you - seeks attention, praise and positive reinforcement from others and creating artistic work is a means to that end. When you stop giving a shit about how your creations are perceived by others (for whatever reason, and there are many-) "being an artist" or "being a musician" starts to seem like a pointless pursuit....

NOTICE HOW IVE NOTSAID SHIT ABOUT DEPRESSION ???

have another drink, rummy

Fellow musician here, take lots of breaks

Also try doing things you never have before, like collaborating songs with someone else or writing a song for an event
Smoke a joint with a notepad & pen

Last few years tons of inspiration for s

Lolwut?



Also I FINALLY read your OP: i thought this thread was about you being a bad boy and "doing shit".

HOW did you get this shit pinned? Your title doesn't accurately reflect what thread is about. Why do you people persist on these manipulative titling tactics?!

I feel ya man....Late 30s here, feel like life is basically over...I just play video games all day now living off what little savings I have left waiting for the doom

hope i can get out of this rutt

Steven Tyler, Mick Jagger, Bon Jovi, Axl Rose, and Tommy Lee would like a word with you.

Not exactly metal, but older than Jesus.

Probably low dopamine, it can cause a lack of motivation and depression.


Why low Dopamine is bad

Low levels of dopamine in the body can be caused either by a dysfunction in the body where the body ceases to respond to it or when there is a damage to the region of the brain involved in the production of dopamine. Whatever the cause, a low dopamine level is surely going to affect cerebral functions and even physical characteristics of the body. Decreased motivation, concentration and pleasure. 50%<

Currently we have one foot in one timeline and one in another. Doing nothing at this time is the best approach until we reach a point that's clear then we'll spring back full force.

Holy fuck. All you fucks need to cheer the fuck up.

Be realistic, pretty sure that I'm not gonna ever travel to the moon

If you think the world is ending, maybe prepare some and then forget about it, so you're not dwelling on something that probably won't happen in your lifetime draining your own energy

A lot of you are Americans, how about emigrate to Nigeria so you can see how good you actually had it.

Maybe fucking exercise

Dito! Started about the same time Biden did! I always find a good Movie, this one's the story of my life! Good Luck things will get better! Mine did!

* Reduce/drop alcohol consumption (max a few times a month. serious drinking even less often).
* Reduce carbohydrates, eat healthy protein rich food (fish, meat, eggs)
* increase the level of physical exercise.

I did this two years ago and my body responded hugely positive (at age 40). Facial hair, energy level, everything.

Plenty examples of artists (or other types) having taken years off from their craft for various reasons (sometimes to go to war) and then coming back as good or better. We are at war, spiritually, and literally, considering what we know and how blatant "they" have become.

Depends on the individual.

Meh. Sounds like you just need some new pussy.

Wow, I could be the OP in this thread.

I feel just like he does.

I don't feel like I am depressed but my interest level in anything is just not there.

I have no interest in doing anything, going anywhere, seeing anything, experiencing anything, etc. etc. And I could, I am retied so I have the time and I have enough retirement assets I could do a lot of things if I wanted and had interest.

It just doesn't interest me. Everyday has turned into Groundhog Day.

I often wonder is this really me or is this the result of my body (hormones, chemistry, diet, age, etc.) and how it is making me feel. Maybe without the bodily influences I would still feel the way I do. I don't know.

reading your post doesn't make me happy, but its a bit reassuring knowing the same thing is happening to others who are older than me.. lets me know that whatever it is, is an enemy needing to be dealt with. 28 yrs here and loved playing heavy metal music and going to the river etc...

ive lost all drive completely literally in the last 3 years.

Bro, its an outside force affecting ALL of us. 5G? cosmic radiation? the trails? manmade lab stuff? I'm not joking at all, what is affecting you is affecting me too... I just want to go back to bed the moment I wake up.

Never had healthier habits than I do now and all I want to do is drop to the floor. I see it in my peers too but very very very few of them want to even discuss it or correlate it to something universal.

this is saddening to the max because I used to do shit too and I already feel old and dying

Don't despair, OP.
Your feelings of hopelessness; the loss of joy in your passions and interests are explainable. They are the result of a scientifically designed propaganda and mind control operation that has been run on you and the rest of the nation, since the Democrat (BLM/Antifa) terror attacks that burned 24 American cities, across an entire summer.
It's a demoralization operation. Using a stolen election, the Terror Attacks, a purposely made and released Biological Weapon, and the complete control of all of your media, including social Media, to gaslight, disinform, and confuse the populace.
It's all being done by foreign interests, in cahoots with traitors in our own system, several different, cooperating groups, who have infiltrated our government, educational system, and media landscape.
The WEF, the Council On Foreign Relations, UN agenda 2030--all wrapped up in the fraudulent "Climate Change" agenda.
To be brief, (you can research the details on your own--they're barely hiding it anymore), they are selling out the US, to establish a totalitarian World Government, the last step in a long planned operation, finally made possible through the advent of advanced computer technology, and the fruition of 50 years of institutional infiltration.
The immediate material goals will be to confiscated your arms, and then get everyone on a "digital ID." (Already announced this week in Canada!)
It's a complex and wide-ranging plan, that's fully underway, and coming to the last few years of implementation.

There isn't time here to unravel the full scope. If you desire, you can do the research and confirm all of the different aspects yourself--but right now, the most important thing is for you to break the "spell" of demoralization and despair that they've pounded into your mind.

Before anything else can be done, you must get your clearly thinking mind BACK! You must recover your passions, your hope, and your sense of agency.
You have to break their mind control--AND REGAIN YOUR FREE WILL!

I can tell you how to do this--the rest of what you can do, you can decide what to do ON YOUR OWN, after you recover your SELF.

1.) Remove Yourself From Their Programming.
--The first and most important step. You have to realize how big this operation is, how complex and all encompassing it is, how far ranging.
Suffice to say, there is NOTHING you hear, see or read in the mainstream, communication channels that is not being used to influence and program your mind.
TV, Radio, News, sports, all entertainment, Internet Searches and Sites, and ESPECIALLY Social Media, are all under their control and are an interlocking system of scientifically designed brainwashing.
---So you have to remove yourself. Stop giving them access to your mind!
a.) You must eliminate, and/or severely limit your exposure to communications tech.
---Get rid of your TV. Yes. Entirely. Just sell it, and get it out of your home. There is nothing there, that's currently produced, that is truthful. Nothing.
You are being exposed to a false reality, that is three steps removed from actual occurring events. Exposure to this false reality changes your mind, even if you are aware of every trick they use.
So dump the TV.
---You will experience actual "Withdrawal Symptoms" after you do this. Confusion, loneliness, depression--a feeling of loss and disconnection. These will last 3-4 weeks. This withdrawal is real, it's your brain repairing itself, readjusting to the state of constant endorphin overload that you currently live under.
After that time, you will be amazed to discover your actual, natural mind again.
To help get your mind back--exercise, eat healthy, go back and read books, and listen to music from your youth, (from before the time they took control) cultivate calm engagement with close friends and relatives--and embrace silence and silent meditation.

2.) Along the same lines, get rid of your cell phone. Any benefit of having a computer and communication device in your hand at all times is completely erased by the way they manipulate the tech to control every single thought you have.
a.) Get a land line for communication. You need nothing else.

3.) Limit computer usage and eliminate ALL social media.
a.) Computers and Internet could have been the greatest thing to ever happen to mankind. But the power of the tech has been fully subverted. And re-purposed for evil.
b.) Limit your usage to the absolutely essential.
---Keeping track of their constant stream of disinformation so that your reclaimed mind can "read between the lines," to somewhat determine their level of progress, and how you will be affected. DO THIS IN A VERY WARY AND LIMITED WAY. (what your trying to do here is "read" their lies, and get closer to actual reality.)
c.) No social media! I could go on with pages of science to explain why, but there's no space here for that. You just have to eliminate it. Even harmless posts to "keep up with grandma and family," are being weaponized against you algorithmically.
--Make direct phone calls and emails to "keep in touch" and "in the loop," with family and friends. Talk with people, FACE TO FACE.

3.) Stop eating all processed foods.
a.) This is very important. Recent changes in FDA regs now allow all sorts of noxious ingredients to be added to the simplest foods--many designed to slowly poison you, and to make your brain more receptive to brainwashing.
---Buy fresh Vegetables, meats, eggs, and grains from local farm markets, or better yet, FARMERS! Eat NOTHING that has been processed. It's a lot easier than it sounds and you'll save a fortune too!
---Zero restaurants, zero "Take Out," and especially "fast food," which is literally poison!
Sounds difficult, but after you start, you will find it's much easier than you ever imagined--and without the constant barrage of advertising that makes you "want" things you don't need--you'll be happier and more satisfied with what you do eat. Rediscovering natural flavors! And natural, whole nutrition!

4.) Exercise and silent thought.
a.) These two go hand in hand. "Strong Mind, Strong Body" is REAL!
---Begin with walks and hikes in nature, away from crowds. "Touch grass," beneath your bare feet, work up a sweat. Breath fresh air. Reconnect your body, (and mind) with the natural, unmediated world around you.
---Progress to calisthenics, Pilates and other "body weight" strength conditioning. doesn't need to be drastic--do what you can do comfortably--and go as far as YOU feel you need to: Weights, Martial Arts, Running... whatever YOU feel suits your needs.
b.). At the same time, cultivate calm, interior thought and meditation. Prayer to your God of choice is preferred, as this type of connection to truth is the most valuable thing available to you. But if you are agnostic, silent thoughtful meditation will also work.
---As you regain the function of your mind, this prayer and meditation will be quite fruitful--you will naturally see the truth of the world around you, working through the natural anxieties and doubts of every human, and naturally finding workable answers to all of your difficulties--on your own.

DO THESE THINGS, and I promise. You will again discover your passions and purpose. You will be able to make art again, and you will see a real reason to do so-- YOU will get YOUR humanity back, and they will be unable to take it from you again.

All of the other things that you will need to do will become clear, and you will be strong enough to do them!

Don't lose hope, if there were no hope left, all of their evil propaganda would be unnecessary!

I'll pray for your deliverance--good luck!

Absolutely! And 98% of them never make money doing it

Shut up big pharma shill.

Thi is what I felt inside after meditation. Part of me felt guilty for being lazier the past couple of months, so I prayed and asked within what is going on? And I got back a message of... things are in transition, this is the time for figuring out what you really want in your life to experience and for things we have outgrown to let go of. It's a bit of a breather, but not to worry, its temporary! I felt this message was for many people.
