That’s one version of Camus’ “Image sisyphus happy”
Another interpretation is “Arbeit macht frei”.
Heh Nazis
Doing something physical is so much healthier than doing nothing. It’s not just an illusion, it can really help people to get back on track.
Yeah, usually if I get stuck in my head I’ll just go work in the garden. Bit of sunshine and toil usually gets me unstuck.
Living this rn
I think everyone is living this. You‘re not fucked because you live this but you have the brains to be aware of it.
I remember this episode of Malcolm in the Middle
What’s the point? Now my room is clean… Why am I even still here?
I need to move out of this box of sardines but because of medical bills and house prices I can’t.
What is the point?
Sorry… You guys caught me on a very bad day mentally and I can’t even clean to get this shit out of my head.
Can you… go for a walk/run or something?
Went for a 40 mile bike ride and a 10 mile walk. Cleaned my room, kissed my daughters good night. And yet I’m still here wondering wtf im doing
Sorry to hear that, my friend. Hang in there, ok? Don’t do anything sudden.
I would help you if I could but I am mentally in a similar situation.
Ahh you will have a clean room! Win win!
Some of those wikihow are hilarious 😂
In my experience exhaustion makes the dread spiral worse
another trick is to making cleaning actually fun by challenging yourself… try it blindfolded, or with one hand, etc.
Music helps a lot
And weed.
Does it? I usually forget to clean after smoking weed and get distracted by other activities
My “trick” is to put it off until I can’t bear the mess anymore and then it actually feels like I’m getting something done and I’m doing it because I want to as opposed to it being a pointless chore
