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
I doubt it’s entirely your fault. People love to herald effortmaxxing, but how much effort you can put out not entirely within your control. Environment, circumstance upbringing all control your ability to put in effort. The thing to do to improve your ability to effortmaxx is do your best to improve physical health and fix your dopamine as according to your means.
i’ve been doing my best to eat well + exercise etc and it does help a little but the impact is so… ephemeral? i feel better briefly and go back to how i was, kinda sux but i should be thankful im able of that much
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.
i have only been at it for a week or so, so i suppose it’ll be a matter of wait and see. however uhh… i cant exactly will myself better y’know?
Of course. You’re not actually trying to get better though, it’s delusion. Forced smiles and that kind of deal.
extremely real and i hate it i want to get better but i dont know how
apply for unarmed security license (if in us, dunno how it works outside of shit), get approved as long as you arent a federal criminal, night shift. its not supposed to be fun and happy but i dont see anyone for hours and get paid.
i will give it a look at some point but im not sure theres much of that sort of thing around where i am
no hurt in trying :). it takes a while to get approved too so it gives you time to search, and all they really need is someone who wears the uniform and follows procedure, which is basically given to you straight up. application process sucks sometimes, but if you look at ur state or municipality dps, they usually have instructions.
