I want this place to be filled with useful information and kings helping each other, people trying to get YouTube views will just be banned from now on if their videos are spammed to lots of other subs and don't interact with the community here.

Keep up the good work on improving yourself lads!

So I had been with a girl for a month, which isn't long I know but still her and I knew eachother for a while. She had just broken up with another guy. He wasn't the gentlemanly type he'd done a myriad of things. Sne always said "I'm not that stupid. I'll never get back with him. I know my worth.", Well anyways literally a day after the worst Christmas of my life this girl dumps me. Hurt for a bit, but in the end whatever. Well come to find out, she went back to her ex. I feel like less than garbage. I mean I never hit her, I gave her all the attention she wanted, never yelled at her, always supported her and look what happens she goes to him of all people. Sorry if this is a long read, I just can't talk to anyone I know cause they'll either not care or think I should just get over it.

Hey Kings. I've been depressed for a long time, and have been steadily trying to keep myself away from breaking down and feeling completely despondent. But recently, due to some problems in the family combined with recent turn of events with how "closed down" things have begun to be due to quarantine, most of my life has felt like it's fallen down, if that makes sense. I am twenty years old and I feel like my life is over before it has even began, and I'm not sure where to go from here. I went from being a college sophomore, to pretty much dropping out, getting a job and trying to get into community college, to feeling too despondent to do anything other than work. I'm not sure how to get my hopes up or even begin to start thinking on how things could get better. I had little to no male role models growing up, and I thought I'd start making things right for myself once I got out of highschool, and now I find myself shut in, as much as I was in high school, if not worse.

Kings, what do you do when you've fallen and have a hard time getting back up?

This thread is to state your commitments and goals for March.

How does it work?

Simply leave a comment stating what your goal for the month is. If another king has already left a comment outlining the same/similar goal as you, simply leave a child comment underneath that one instead of making a new parent comment. The aim is to allow kings with similar goals to link up, share tips and give confidence to other kings by showing them that they're not alone in their struggle.

How can I help other kings?

You may leave a comment below stating that you're willing to be an accountability partner for anyone who needs it. If you come across kings with goals that you have mastered already, it is encouraged that you help with advice.

Any rules?

Just one for now: be honest. If you fail, admit it.

1. Don't watch porn.
2. Avoid debt.
3. Invest 20% income.
4. Feed your body with the right food.
5. Lift weights and do yoga.
6. When you NEED to buy something, don't skimp on quality.
7. Invest more in experiences than material items.
8. Don't put anyone on a pedestal.
9. Meditate every day.
10. Sleep 8 hours every night.

There are loads more that'll come to me.

What would you add?

I don't know if this is the appropriate place to post about this, but I just want to get some things off my chest, and this is really the only subreddit I can think of. I was hospitalized in a psych ward for six days back in December because I was suicidal, and while I was in the hospital I was given a one month injection of a drug called abilify (kind of by force, because they threatened to keep me their longer, and get a court order to force me to take it if I didn't take it willfully) that made me feel like shit. It made me very uninterested in everything after I got out of the hospital, and went home. Nothing peaked my interest that much, and when something did (like a video game or tv show), it was only for a little while, and then I would go back to being bored again. Not only was I bored, but the medication made me feel constantly jittery, and like I needed to do something, which also made things worse. After a month, I had a meeting with the doctor who prescribed me abilify, and I told her I didn't want to take it anymore. My parents wanted me to take another drug called risperidone that I used to take a year ago, so I did, because they insisted I needed to be on a medication of some kind. Risperidone made me very emotional, so I stopped taking it as well.

Another problem I've struggled with since I left the hospital is that I relapsed and started watching porn again, after not doing so for a month. I relapsed after a long 3-4 month streak back in November, but recovered after maybe a week or two, and then held strong for a month, until the day I left the hospital, which is when everything went downhill. I'm now 3 days off of porn, and am starting to feel better, but am not sure how long I can go before I relapse again.

The reason I say that I feel like I've been lobotomized is because I can't get super motivated to do anything, and nothing makes me feel that happy. Work at my part time job, which was always enjoyable to me before I went to the hospital, has become less enjoyable for me as well. My school schedule is also terrible, because I am stuck in classes with people I barely know, and can't change them, because they are the classes I'm required to take to pass Senior year.

I guess that the reason I'm posting this, is because I want to know if anyone else has experienced this feeling of hopelessness that I have, and I want to know if there's anyone out their with any advice for me?

Happy new year and sorry for the late post.

Music has a way of rhythmically influencing you and when used in the right moments can really make an impact on you for years, something big may happen you will relate a song to that moment and it will stick with you forever.

I worked with a group of Guatamala's for four years, they become good friends to me and many of my co-workers, there was something about their familial nature and looking after each other that really inspired me.

Roughly 30 of them were fired under some new ICE enforced law after Trump took office (not here for politics.) It was really somber their last few days, some of them trickled out and some stayed until their last day and I had some good times with them and some really teary-eyed moments. My shift had ended and I was getting ready to leave on their last day of work and it was so hard to walk out that door.

As I'm driving home, my aux cord breaks and I'm forced to turn on the radio, Wish you Were Here by Pink Floyd played and I just broke. If you're not familiar with the song, it was written about a man who was so lost with addiction that the band was unfamiliar with him, however the lyrics can generally relate to anyone who has lost someone. I will remember that moment forever and that song will always remind me of them. I miss my brothers.

Just made the switch from android to iOS, can’t find any of the productivity apps I used to have. Most important would be one that locks certain apps at certain times. You kings know any?

Happy new year and sorry for the late post.

I struggle to say no and stand by it. Are there any books that can help with this?

Howdy Kings,

There are lots of different paths to improvement, and everyone in this subreddit is here because we want to see you grow. If you feel like you might not belong but you still want to improve, then you do belong.

No matter your race, age, nationality, religion, sexuality, or background, we want to see each other succeed.

Go ahead and comment who you are and what your background is like so we can see some of the diversity we have in our kings.

For me I want to leave my kids with more of a head start than I had, my father did a lot for me, and I'd like to do even more for my kids someday.

Any and all suggestions are welcome. Doesn’t even need to be a shake. I’d just prefer it’s something easily obtainable
