I quit drinking and smoking the entire time, and I was able to re-read all 4 chapters of Kapital and translate it to Latin (which I also learned during the maintenance time)

For lack of a better term, I am giving myself "normal young adult" lessons.
I started listening to actual music instead of video game soundtracks, found that I like Lil Nas X.
Teaching myself how to actually take care of myself/pack some of my stuff up so I can easily move when the time arises
Applying to jobs like hell so I can try to escape the boonies
Talking to professors about finishing a degree in CS and how to apply to tech jobs so maybe I can fuck off to Los Angeles, NYC, or Seattle, which are three places in the country I would find to be the least shit. If I can leave the country altogether, great, but I'm not delusional enough to follow Twitter's advice to "stay and fight" in red states. I want to meet people my age instead of being left behind in this fashy, retirement home esque shithole where upper middle class old people LARP as cowboys.
Does anyone have any resources for recovering NEETs? My depression is on its last legs and I want to know how to slay the beast once and for all.
My suggestion is to make intense human connection once a week. Go to a show, meet up with friends, volunteer. For me, becoming idle let's the depression sink back in and keeping busy has been the key to getting over the last 10% of long term depression.
this is important. and trying to cultivate complex social groups so that you're not dependent on any one person or group for social interaction. with varying levels of buy-in and differing interests
Seeking out dorky bloomer music is nice. I like Gang of Youths for that purpose.
