Caring too much is making me miserable (hexbear.net)

CW: Mental health, depression

My life is getting worse because I keep flipping between here and :reddit:, refreshing and reading things instead of doing stuff. It's some form of deep depression I don't wish on anybody.

Sometimes I wish I was an NPC and could just tune all thus out and care about the local sports ball team or something. IDK, I've had a tough year and I'm just so out of it at this point.

IDK what to do

I can't offer you any help with depression, but I can say that what you are describing is not being made miserable from caring too much. It's being made miserable from being too online and not caring enough to go be offline. There is no such thing an NPC because life isn't a game. Everyone around you is full of their own thoughts and feelings, hopes and dreams. Go find the ones whose hopes and dreams align with yours and try to make them happen. Get off reddit. Forever. Seriously. It is a government op to eat people's time and attention and misrepresent reality. Full of racists too. Care more about yourself and your time than to waste it on reddit.
