I’ve been pretty lethargic for some weeks. I expected this to happen last week; because I am about to escape the U.S education system for good.

Junk food makes the lethargy worse. I need to stop eating them; but I can’t resist and family keeps buying them anyway.

I want to dodge the capitalist mindset (“I need to work more.”, “I wish I could put more effort in”, " I need meds", etc.)

    I totally get you, it’s hard to get out of that cycle.

    Doing some sport of physical activity tends to help me, and it also makes me not want to eat junk food, but eventually I eat some, I try and eat peanut or some other dry fruit since it has a high fat percentage which makes my brain think it is tasty and it looks like junk food but it’s kind of healthy.

    You honestly can’t truly escape that mindset because it is not a mindset, but an unwritten rule on how you need to behave to survive, unless of course you have a good accumulation of capital which allows you live without working.

    Regarding medication, I don’t know why you think this is capitalist, if you have grounded beliefs to think you need medication by all means seek psychiatric help, it can do wonders for those who really need it.

    Doing something productive and which fulfils me, though, helps me to avoid that kind of estate, reading a book, learning a language, something like that, but yeah, is hard,

      Yep. Currently living with my family that can pay rent. I’m mostly stuck on what to do; because everything feels so boring.
