You okay, OP?
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.

(I don't remember how to link to communities without hyperlinks like on Reddit)thanks!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.
I kind of had the same question
Sounds a lot like adhd to me but Im no doctor.
Yes, but depressive periods not normally.
aren't depressions fun?
Ah yes, me entire existence
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.)

You got it. Things happen and your experience is largely defined by how you react to them, which is arguably by varying degrees even under your control due to biology, the environment you are in and were raised in, and many other factors you are not personally responsible for.
You don’t have to assign a value of “good” or “bad” to things. When I say that I don’t mean things where people are harmed. I mean things like having to wash the dishes. 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. You can reprogram it if you want to. Try to make a habit of something that you think will be positive and I can almost guarantee you there won’t be regrets. Shit, if you’re gonna be depressed anyway you might as well get a dune popcorn bucket out of it.
Really hoping this lsd treatment becomes widely available because it’s just not as easy to get on the street as it used to be and it really can help with depression. Psychedelics saved my life, I promise you that.

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.
It's not going to be a fix for everyone, but if you feel like this guy, you should check to see if you've got the rare form of the MTHFR Gene, which means you'll be up to 80% deficient of methylfolate.
Methylfolate is what our body turns folic acid into. It's a base element that our bodies use to function properly. If you've got an extreme deficiency, well, things just aren't functioning properly. People affected with this will have lived with these issues their whole lives.
Now, up to 60% of the population has a mild form of MTHFR, so the gene itself isn't uncommon, it's the rare form you'll be looking for.
Anyway, getting on a high dose of methylfolate changed my life, life from night to day, I'm not kidding. I still take medication for anxiety and depression, but the methylfolate helps them to function like they're supposed to.
Again, it's not a fix for everyone, but on the off chance you have it, I'd check it out.
MTHFR Gene
For some strange reason when I read that I was imagining Samuel L Jackson reprising his role from Snakes on a Plane.
They do call it The MotherFucker gene, lol
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
yikes what the actual hell, it is seriously disturbing how many people in the comments feel this way
I like the art style of only having color on the edges of objects. Really sets the mood.
This reminds me of Sloth from Fullmetal Alchemist.
You are burned out?
I hate this feeling. I wish I wasn't so lazym I need to shower more but it's so much work
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.
I feel panel one the most, I hate waking up since my sleep quality is so poor that I'm tired all day, every day
Shot, speak for youself. I'm so damn tired all the time I can fall asleep any time, anywhere, if given the opportunity.
*except when I want to sleep. Then I'm awake until three at night.
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 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.
Life is what you make of it.
Get after it, then
Chores are chores and a horse is a horse of course, of course.

Wow, never expected to see a Mr Ed reference in this day and age.
If you’re addicted to a substance seek help for it.
This was my life when I experienced addiction.
i'm not addicted to anything yet this is me. (i have ADHD and insomnia)
and depression. This "comic" depicts depression.

One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Why wake up if at the end of the day you are just going to end up going to sleep again?
This is life
Incidentally if your life is actually like this it’s a result of nihilism.
If you focus on getting good sleep everything else falls in place.
This is not true for everyone. We all have different reasons for similar feelings like this. I sleep great but still feel like this. Oversleeping is also a sign of depression.
For me, getting my diet under control and truly understanding what my body needs has helped tremendously (more fiber/protein, less carbs/sugars). Introducing daily probiotics has helped too. It really is amazing how our diets affect our moods.
For some, regular exercise may help. For others, sun lamps help with seasonal depression. Sometimes you need medication. Sometimes weed helps.
Always talk to a professional. Try different things until you figure out what works and what doesn't.
