    Just scrolling and consuming content is very bad for body and mind. If you feel numb like this, try to find one or several forms of self-expression that works for you.

    Can be drawing, dancing, singing, petting animals, programming, staring at trees, knitting, gardening, making memes, recording videos. And even better: you’re permitted to do all of it badly and just enjoy yourself, no rules need to be followed.

      That’s rough. My family is the only thing in this world I give a shit about. I’d have killed myself years ago if it weren’t for them.

      If you really, actually don’t give a shit, you can bounce. Work out a way to split assets with your partner and go do whatever you want with your life. Your family will probably hate you for leaving, your blood relatives and/or friends might lose respect for you, getting another job might be hard, but you’d be free and none of that would matter.

      Unless you actually do give a shit, but just need something to change? Are you sure that giving up what you’ve got would be the change you need? What is it you want?

    “Nothing.” You know: memes, scrolling, YouTube. I mean if you’ve tried all three, what else in the world can a person do?

      They might have tried to do other stuff, but struggle to find the motivation. Like, you might try to pick up drawing, but all you do is to stare at a blank canvas. Maybe scribble a little bit and then you go back to bed.

      There’s not even motivation for the bare minimum, like scrolling meaningless stuff.

      Nah. Felt like this since I was 8 or 9. Now I’m a lot better and don’t struggle with my self esteem that much anymore and I haven’t seriously thought about killing myself in a few months
