      Kind of you to ask! I am okay thanks, I just thought I’d share a moody comic (it’s a moody day, I guess) but it’s not a big deal or anything lol

      Appreciate the sentiment ^^

        I feel this comic. I think it’s a mood a great many people are having these days. Our society is sick, and the ones on the bottom are being disproportionately exposed to the worst of it.

        It’s a very good idea to ask folks the question above (are you okay?), but I also can understand and really appreciate that someone drew this for the sake of dark humor, and/or societal commentary.

        In short, I really appreciate it.

        Type a “!” then start typing the community you want to link to, at least the beginning part of it to and you’ll get:

        Link worked for me but that’s my home instance so that might have something to do with it. I’m also using Sync for Lemmy so the dev might have accounted for community links in the code.

    could be depressed. Personally working out helped me sleep. good sleep instead of exhaustion sleep helps the other stuff. make sure you are taking a multivitamin too just in case you are deficient in something (iron or vitamin c are possibilities if you aren’t eating vegetables.)

          I like doing it now, because I stopped thinking about it like a bad thing. Your brain is just a big overhyped pattern-based machine.

          Except not all brains are wired the same, nor do all bodies work the same. You being able to “think” yourself in to enjoying doing dishes is good for you, but really not the answer and definitely not a “guarantee” for everyone (because there is a large range of mild to serious mental and physical illness that mean “thinking” barriers away isn’t an option. Also sever poverty and daily subjection to things like racism, more things that people can’t think away, have a big impact on everything in life, including processing and coping with the world).

      What 👏 is 👏 the 👏 point 👏 anymore.

      You climb the mountain because it’s there. Or for the journey, and not the destination. Or for making it to the top. Something, along those philosophicallysmarty lines.

      MTHFR Gene

      For some strange reason when I read that I was imagining Samuel L Jackson reprising his role from Snakes on a Plane.

      Ah, you mean one of the many genetic/biochemical abnormalities which are heavily associated with ADHD/MDD/Schizophrenia/Bipolar/Parkinson’s/Alzheimer’s/etc., sweet… it can join TAAR1, SORCS3, ST3GAL3, DRD4, DRD5, rs4680, rs6265, FXS… I think that’s enough “let’s see what kind of fucked up genetics can cause your mental disorders” lol

      I kinda struggled with this. I wasn’t able to get up and shower unless I had to be somewhere. The shame overrode my broken brain and that’s basically how I survived university.

      Have you ever checked for hypothyroidism? I was feeling exactly like you described for 2 years. Then, with a blood test, I discovered I had hypothyroidism and started treating it. Feeling a lot better now.

        I’m pretty sure it’s actually delayed sleep phase disorder. I have a naturally nocturnal sleep cycle. I feel energized at 2am. But I have to work during the day.

        But also, I work 60 hour weeks, which is draining no matter what your sleep cycle.

          I have a naturally nocturnal sleep cycle. I feel energized at 2am.

          Some scientists say we all do, and trying to sleep just the one eight hour cycle is actually not the best way for us to sleep, but instead two 4-Hour cycles works best.

          That’s why a lot of countries have an afternoon break, and then they work into the early evening after the break.

            Nah, most people are energized by blue light, 9 or 10am is peak productivity. At least from the research I’ve seen.

      I’m fairly sure whoever made this was speaking purely for themselves, and for anyone who feels the same and could use knowing they aren’t alone. 👍

      Glad you don’t have problems falling asleep though. I’m the same mostly.
