seriously though, i can never seem to feel happy or spirited for more than like half an hour with the help of caffiene during which i can maybe get one (1) thing done before returning to general lowness for the day. i’ve dealt with this for years and can just about get by, but like, i need a job at some point. however, as i am, i cant even manage part-time (yes, this is from experience). i don’t want to go full learned helplessness but what do u even do about this? am i stupid? hm, billions must ponder. also i’ve got to collect more nice nature picrels she so cool giwiwh

      it’s a snowball effect kind of thing. Also unironically delusionmaxx and pretend to be productive and happy and you might just sorta be productive and happy.

          Of course. You’re not actually trying to get better though, it’s delusion. Forced smiles and that kind of deal.
