How do I help friend
| Most simple solution: make an excersice routine (for both of you). It will make her release dopamine and keep her brain occupied with the days and time you will go to do excersice. But this requires that you go with her for a period of time, so she can't skip the routine.
Try dping the jogging routine to prepare for a 10k marathon
The other solution is to go to a psychologist...
| I wish exercise wasnt so hard as a lazy agoraphobic fatass :(
| >>414009 well... a lot of the problem with starting to excersice is that they start with the wrong routine. The idea is to do light excersice in the beginning and escalating it little by little. That's the reason I recommend the training for running a marathon: it's easy to find and start really light, just waking a little fast for a short amount of time.
So yeah... do it at your own pace
| She's already doing some excercise. But it's not helping. Aren't there any answers to her existential questions which will ease her mind? Also psychologists are way too expensive rn.
| Check out exurb1a channel on YouTube. It kind of helped me to overcome existential crisis.

The first is bait and others for motivation. But I think all of his videos are equally good.
| Avoid "A Dictionary for Your Twenties" though.

It's good to see another watches Exurb1a as much as I do here.
Honestly the man has motivated me more than anything else in the world.
| Routine doesn't help, if it's forced. Maybe it will with time but if she has, her mind set agaonst it, you won't have much luck.
What she needs is hope. And the way to get hope is, well, very convoluted, but I personally found it through philosophy and a great deal of introspection. If I were you, I'd try to understand her mental state and find the root cause. If I caneliminate that, then recovery should be easy.
| Bear in mind that what you're asking is a very complex issue, and I doubt anyone here is qualified to solve it, much less within 500 symbols

| She has existential fear and depression or something? She has no dreams, fears space, universe, human nature, unknown stuff, universe itself and all these stuff ppl usually think about when they're depressed and have existential dread? Everything from small things (people's psychology, hypocrisy, futility, money, job) to big (god, society, universe) is bad. How do I help my friend?
