I’m doing well. I have a good life. But holy shit, I’m so tired. The world is so terrible and I’m just fed up. I wish I could just check out and take a break, but it keeps going. Cheers.
This post is certainly outside of the norm of shower thoughts. I think in general people want posts that score a little higher on the scale of funny and interesting. Taking the sidebar strictly:
- Does this thought pop into people’s heads? yeah, probably
- Is it lighthearted? Not really, but its friendly.
- Is it clever? No
- Is it true? Yes
It doesn’t really vibe with the rest of the sub but idk what sub one would put this in.
Ah ok that’s a much better fit
I’m tired boss
Burnout.
Hello darkness my old friend, I have come to speak with you again…
Define doing well, and good life? How much free time do you have? How does your work/life balance stack up?
We’re all scared, it’s the human condition. Why do you thinks I put on this tough guy facade? Now, beat it!
I say find a hobby you can do and check out. Today I was flying my kite and tuned out
I love flying kites. I haven’t done so in a long time. Thanks for reminding me.
I just bought a prism synapse and flew it for the second time yesterday, it has been pretty fun. Also did some geocaching afterwards.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
I also think of overthrowing the oligarchy in the shower.
Exist out of spite. The terrors persist, but so do I.
Ooh, I like this. Thanks!
I like this. Let’s do it.
Thanks, idk if op needed this but I did
At this point I’m convinced that the terrors are persisting out of spite for me, personally.
That’s just the impending clinical depression creeping in.
Nah, I’ve had many depressive bouts (bi-polar). This is more like I’ve given up on the world post-Trump-2. I’m checked out to avoid the depression. One could argue this is still pre-depression, and I wouldn’t argue back. But it’s not yet depression. I note that you said creeping… I’m distinguishing between them.
You’re not alone.
Take a week. Avoid any social media, news, etc. as much as you possibly can. Try to get out in nature by going for short walks and just focus on doing things you enjoy (or try something new). Yes, the world keeps going - but you need to recharge your batteries, my friend. Take. A. Break.
This is the way.
A couple of years back I fell asleep at like 8 PM and slept through to 6:30 AM. Then I fell back asleep around 8 or 9 and slept until noon. When I woke up I didn’t feel tired at all. This had been the first time I felt like that in I don’t know how long
I slept nearly 12 hours last night, woke up, had a panic attack, then took a nap for four hours.
Woke up, put on The Elephant Graveyard Radio Hour, danced and cleaned my house happy.
It’s also been a long time since a nap like that worked so well. Sometimes ya just need to sleep.
I was only awake for nine hours of yesterday and it was great.
Same, fellow human, same.
I’m with you dude (virtual hug)
Thank you.
