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

You gotta log off

This happened to me a few years ago my mind just snapped and i temporarily became a formula 1 guy. Took about a month for my brain to recalibrate

Car go vroom

I think I'll become a Sonic guy and play through all the 2d ones again

Yeah that's perfect. Go super into it, do speedruns or something. Just let something absolutely harmless eat your brain for a while

Ya this is why I've become super into ttrpg's again lately I think. I've been getting back into D&D 4e especially again during it's sort of recent "revival" and reappraisals.

It helps to have something to distract the mind every now and then. I'm still doing stuff for orgs and helping when I can, but when I can't, there's no point in worrying about it and I might as well read about rpg's and play Baldur's Gate 3.
