You've probably got depression. I'm gonna give you a prescription for joining up with a group of revolutionaries and overthrowing your oppressors. Obviously, your body isn't going to be able to handle such a high dose just yet, but we'll increase your tolerance by first baby stepping you into some mutual aid and then some light arson. Basically just follow the directions on the package until you're standing on the neck of a billionaire. And whatever you do, don't stop taking that shit halfway through! We've got a real problem with revolutionary resistant billionaires because people keep getting released valve and assuming they're cured. You gotta complete the full course!
Not bad advice. early morning meetings, actions, pickets and other plans will test your body's resolve to stay sleeping.
But--- running on adrenaline to counteract depression might work for some, not all. It might shake up the internal as well as external status quo. Eventually, there is adjustment and back to homeostasis.
It's not about chasing adrenaline, it's about actively participating in their own liberation. Building a world they want to spend time in.
