I'm the same. I read super slow, and I just don't enjoy it really. Audiobooks are hard for me too. I like podcasts sometimes, and I read a lot of articles and stuff like that. But books are just too much for me.
Opiods and benzos help. That is something that will likely happen this month but I only have so many. And it only helps because it's a change. If I took them every day I'd just need more and shit. So, those will come and help me sleep when I need it, not an every day thing.
I'm a software engineer. I make really good money. I'm off work this week, but then next week, and also the weekends.
Go touch grass and walk
I run every day
Work out doesnt need to be much.
This actually is the problem for me. Running and working out actually help. But it only kills a couple hours, and then if I do more it's not healthy and I'll injure myself.
As Jordan Peterson would say go clean up ur room and make your bed.
Are you shitting me? You're quoting jordan peterson?
Ugh I wish I could fall asleep early. It's sooo hard to fall asleep before 2am or so. And then I haven't been able to sleep past 7am or so. Which is why I said other than sleep. It's just really hard for me to sleep, even if I've been incredibly active during the day.
I actually occasionally do volunteer at a shelter. It's a good idea, but I'm mostly asking about things to do once all the available "activities" are over. Let's say, starting at 9pm or so
I played WoW for ages. I tried going back during shadowlands, but, it's just so different from what I enjoyed about it at its peak (wrath).
Is there a current MMO that really requires teamwork, as well as the ability to find a consistent group? A month probably isn't long enough though, and I don't think I'm mentally in a place to grind to a level cap without already having friends in game.
If those are feelings you deal with chronically, however, and you have the means to do so, I highly suggest trying to find professional help
It's a combination of an expiration date as well as chronic. I started therapy recently and I'm on meds as well. We'll see how that goes. So I just want to get this short period over with, because the combination is pretty unbearable..
I can do stuff during the day, run, chores, etc. But as soon as I’m done, especially at night, I start freaking out and it seems like time stands still.
I run, and do activities to make the day go by. But that's not sustainable. I'd love to be able to do like a 7 day adventure race, or try to run a ultra marathon or something crazy like that. But I'm not physically capable of that at the moment (I'm in really good shape, but not at THAT level. I run like 5-10 miles a day at most) and I'd just end up hurting myself trying.
I take melatonin, which helps a lot. But the issue is I just have trouble sleeping right now in general. I'd love to be able to sleep 14 hours a day all month. But I'm lucky if I get 6-7
In the end, nothing matters at all; everything you and I do is ultimately going to fade into irrelevance when we’re dead.
This is exactly why other people are the only thing that matters. I'm already depressed and have this nihilistic view. So doing hobbies that don't matter and I don't really care about doesn't mean shit to me. But making someone else feel good, and enjoying having a connection is the only thing that makes any of this worth it.
She does. But it's a little complicated. And that also leads to my question. I talk with a couple people through her, but I don't know how to continue to stay in touch, or how to just talk with them except to plan an activity or something.
