Lonely Sundays suck.
Thus I write here something.
I just spent my day depressed not doing anything.
All I did was stare at my screen and try to look for something to do.
To no avail because I've grown bored or don't have the energy/motivation to play a game.

| Yep, I do this all day...... more often than not, it's not a Lonely Sunday exclusive. |
If you practice your stare, maybe you will beat the screen someday. If that's not motivation for you, I don't know what is.But yea, You probably need to find a new hobby. You like art, maybe crafts would be enjoyable? You could pair it up with watching anime/movies or listening to music. Maybe this would make those things interesting to some extent. And there can be a Pavlovian synergy where just doing those things triggers enjoyment (if that's really a thing).
ReplyDeleteI've become unable to watch anything alone.
ReplyDeleteAlso yeah I've been wanting to experiment with crafts but I never get around to do it. Or have the material, which could be obtained.
But still, no motivation/inspiration/whatever for anything.
Something I used to do when I was really depressed and on my own was to meditate. I created my own meditation techniques to relaxing with music while laying in bed. I mean, you don't usually tell someone who is depressed to lay in bed but I felt they really helped me. It's essentially focusing on a point, like my ceiling fan, while listening to music. I had two techniques. I dunno, they helped me defuse bad situations and moods, as well as relaxing as an alternative to just sleeping all day, if people even see the difference.

It's been ages since I wrote these but they COULD be interesting. And realize that the word "could" is conditional.
I personally don't think I'm the kind to meditate, as I would see it, I'd see it as a waste of time. Even though it's not a waste of time to a lot of people. Also another reason why I stay up late, to make up for the hours I'm wasting sleeping but I end up sleeping more. 🤦♀️
DeleteNot trying to push meditation if you aren't interested, but if you aren't doing anything productive anyway, what do you have to lose? For me, it was a new way to listen to music. I'd become a part of the music, or dissolve my ego into the air entirely, and disassociate entirely. But yea, definitely not for everyone.
ReplyDeleteSleep is something I value because I always have enjoyable dreams and it's a good escape from reality (not implying my life is especially hard at the moment). But I feel like it's lost some value lately, as I've been having increasing difficulty in remembering my dreams. Still, the experience is positive, so I try to get as much as I can. Even if I wake up and have a half hour to burn, I go back to sleep. It's kinda sad in a sense.
Sorry if the experience is not the same for you.But I feel that sleeping, especially dreaming, is a very important part of mental health. I recall when I had horrible dreams for many, many years. Maybe you'll get the remedy and your dreams will come back to you. I hope soon!
I'd be interested in meditation if I had an SO into it. Which will never happen. lol
DeleteMost of my growing up dreams were nightmares, it was not too long ago I had started to gain inspiration from good dreams but now I don't have them anymore. Admittedly that it's probably my fault for going to sleep late. 😑And my medication, they affect me a lot so....
