I'm really confused with myself. I should feel horrible. Things are going downhill for me for years, but I don't seem to hit rock bottom. I wonder how much worse it has to get for me to ... idk what - break down, learn from it, realize or something. I've been diagnosed with depression a couple years back (had a couple therapy sessions too), but I don't feel as dark as back then. I'm somewhat numb and apathetic. Lots of self-pity, I guess, but I don't seem to learn anything from it and that is really weird.

When was the last time you tried something new? I've been through some traumatic experiences and trying new things is what helped the most. I don't have depression, but my spine is broken, so maybe relatable, maybe not. 3D printing was what I picked up a few years ago, but it can be anything really.

I'm sorry to hear that and hope you're better now! 3D printing sounds really cool. Someday I want one of those devices as well. Are your printing projects more on the practical or creative side?

I'm in my late 20s, so the exposure to new things is there. My life has been rather unsteady in the past few years as well. There is also a big change ahead (dropping out of uni). My hope was that my interest carry me, but that didn't happen. My next step is to take the save route and start a trade (in IT).

Late 20s slump is really common. Nah I don't print anymore. Point is to get out of the slump, so feel free to jump from interest to interest when you're down because doing anything is better than being down. Stay up, build, and don't stop learning. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Thanks for the kind words! :) Wish you all the best!
