Depressed and Unmotivated

[Anonymous]

I feel so depressed and unmotivated today. I feel like my life has no meaning or purpose and everything I really wanted to experience is out of reach or not meant for me. 🫠🫠

Sounds like depression.

January is like one long Monday.

I set an exercise goal of the kind I set for myself 6 years ago where I lost like 50lbs by the time the pandemic set in

I'm doing the same thing because I know I have to change direction.

What I'm figuring out all over again is no matter what I do the rest of the day, that 1 hour of effort and work gives me 23 hours of peace of mind vs. 24 hours of feeling uncomfortable and anxious in my skin

January and February are the worst.

I don't know

Are you a former true believer who sees your former earth god Daddy literally shitting his pants all over earth in the name of lining his own pockets while you'll always be lucky just to go home with your regular bag of potatoes

Truth: if you're being paid to be here, this is the best job you can get right now

Your parents must be so proud

This is the best description.

Yep. Days are still terribly short but no holiday things to look forward to (or just post-holiday exhaustion).

Hydrate, do gentle exercise to get your heart rate up a bit (swimming, yoga), try to still get some of that meager daytime sun, schedule hangouts or calls with people whom you feel calm around, maybe schedule a warm weather beach trip, wear soft clothes and nice pajamas, consider an SSRI or therapy if needed, be good to yourself and know that once you start moving and doing things you’ll start to feel better

What does this mean? You sound insane.

Come sit by me, friend. I haven't showered since Christmas morning. I have been meaning to do a load of laundry since before Christmas and now need to do two loads. My tax stuff and holiday cards from LAST YEAR are still on my ottoman.

I want to hire someone to deep clean, but feel like I need to clean up first so they can get to things, but can't get myself to do that.

OMG, yes!

OP, you don't have the luxury of all this navel-gazing. What needs to get done tonight? What needs to get done tomorrow?

NP. You were being mocked. We all understood. Because whoever would ask a question like “are you a progressive democrat” in this context is both insane and terribly stupid, like you were either born dumb or dropped on your head as a child.
