How Do You Guys Manage Everything

Hey folks, just wanted to know how are you all taking care of your mental health on a daily basis and stuff that can be incorporated in your daily routine.

I recently moved to Bangalore and almost immediately went into a zone of persistently feeling sad and hopeless. I refused to take antidepressants. I am doing slightly better after few sessions of therapy, but I want to know some other alternatives? Anybody experienced the same thing? What makes it better? Bangalore feels like a culture-less city tbh.

NEVER EVER Compromise on your sleep Its simply not worth it Messes up your mental health , energy levels, social battery, skin quality, digestion, and even hormones to a certain extent (cant vouch for female hormones as I am a guy, but I did feel the hormonal instability once I started neglecting my sleep) A few days is fine But the moment you let yourself chronically mess up your sleep cycle under the pretext of productivity, you'll start to realize how fragile the human body is. Trust me , I have been there and it has been a nightmare to get back on track. I hope you guys never go through what I went through :) As adults, we have very few avenues of joy anyway, and sleep I believe is one of them so fall in love with your sound sleep !!!!!!!!!!

Overall spending close to 16 hours daily on mobile/laptop/TV I have been trying to cut back my screen time. Thinking of not using phone/laptop for an entire day except for making and receiving calls. If you also been working towards detoxing yourself digitally, do share what you have been doing and is that working for you? Definition of digital detox - A digital detox refers to a period of time when a person refrains from using tech devices such as smartphones, televisions, computers, tablets, and social media sites.

Me and my wife are 30 years old software engineer with no kids. Draw 7 lac a month please some yearly bonus. We invest 2 lac a month combined into equity market through mutual funds. Expenses: 1.5 lac a month including everything, lives in Bangalore in good society, owns a car, don't thing much before spending. Still after everything left with 3 lakhs every month in bank account. Not sure how to use that. We both don't have any fancy "shauk" where we can spend and hence don't have an urge to earn more. Any suggestions???

Personally, I think the underlying factor for me has been being strict with myself. I try to work out 6x a week on a regular basis. Using my finances wisely with healthy meals. I mean, a burger from Louis Burger or a Pizza from Pizza Bakery is baller but in the long run that's a real killer. Finally, I have been trying to prioritize sleep which means don't scroll reels/social media for 30 minutes before bed if it is 1am already. What about you?
