Honestly the way out of that rut which worked for me was to start something new. Do cool stuff, find neat things!

Been there, done that. Now I have too many hobbies that I've started, wasted money on, then dropped. Doesn't make me feel any better, just makes me feel like I've failed more things and don't have enough time or motivation to pursue all the "neat things" I want to.

Not hobbies or new novelties or something. Novelty only keeps working for a while. Something legitimately different. Change the norm, alter your routine, rather than fitting new things into it.

I went from not doing much of anything for years on end homeschool to college. It was stressful and exhausting and almost entirely removed my free time, but it mostly broke me out of the rut I had found myself in.

Yes, let's dismiss suggestions and say they don't work. That sure is productive.

I've tried that already, man. Doesn't work. Not very productive at all.

_{^{sorry. I didn't realize I was doing that until you snarkily pointed it out.}}

Sorry for being mean about that but it's kind of my pet peeve. I even made a Life Advice thread about it. Which I then proceeded to dismiss the advice in because hypocrisy FTW. :v

No need to be sorry. It's not mean to point out some helpful criticism. _{^{Nothing wrong with snarky banter between friends, right.}} pretty sure we're internet friends

I definitely appreciate people offering suggestions to help me out, and I probably don't imply that in most of my responses because I'm focusing purely on the pragmatism of answering "does this suggestion help or not". I mean, I assume that's why people would respond to me with suggestions, to help, so they would be primarily interested in whether or not their tips help or not, rather than some kind of emotional feedback or gratitude from me.

I probably definitely do need a change of pace, yeah. I'd like to change things up but it's just hard to find the energy to start. I'm tired almost all the time, either emotionally drained or physically drained.

I definitely have a to-do list of things to change in my life, like going out more, getting exercise, going to sleep earlier, etc. But it's tough to start any of that. I keep procrastinating. I'm sure this is why it's called "stuck in a rut".

I found a spider, but that didn't make me sad, I then lost track of her, and that is frustrating but I hope that she'll be somewhere I can find tomorrow.

I hope she shows up unharmed.

For whatever reason, I find not doing very much to be exhausting. You start to feel tired constantly if you don't do things, but at least in my experience, rapidly perk up when stuff goes down. You aren't necessarily actually tired, you're likely just feeling drained cuz weird psychosomatic shenanigans.

Yaaaaaaaas

Starting what will likely be a shitty weekend by hitting an insomnia roadblock.

Fuckin' yaaaaaaaas

Got home from work at 1:30 AM, didn't go to sleep till 3ish, now it's 8 and I had to get up to take my sister to work because her ride bailed and she's already late. Get halfway there and surprise, now that I'm awake for good I get to turn around and go home because ride un-bailed. FUCK

Weight couldn't possibly go down fast enough.

I lost a drawing that I was working on and hoping to show you folks.

Also, my arms and hands occasionally have aches and pains, probably from playing computer games too often.

In all likelihood, the WORST it'll be is repetitive stress fractures, but then that'd probably be much more painful than aches and pains.

Repetitive stress fractures from using the sprint key (shift, I usually set it to hold rather than toggle) too much?

TAKE A BREAK FROM GAMING, or at least find a way to change or lessen the stress. Good lord, i cannot emphasize this enough; i've had pains for over a year because i didn't let my hands/arms recover properly from a repetitive strain injury. However important you may think gaming is (and i completely agree that it is very important), it's not worth the pain. It seriously is not. If i could go back to right when it began, i would take two weeks off of computering entirely if it meant that i wouldn't have to deal with pain for the next year to come. It has affected almost all my computering activities, some physical tasks, driving (some of you may fear for the world at the notion of a nutter like me behind the wheel) and also just sitting around because that can hurt as well, so yeah, it's worth trying to counteract.

I called in because I'm actually feeling terrible. You're supposed to call out at least two hours before you start. I didn't think a few minutes plus or minus would be an issue if you're actually sick but I guess it is lol. I hate this job, I'm probably sick because I ate there dammit.

[Kot]

I am still kinda sick but it's okay.
On the other hand I have noone to talk to and I feel really fucking alone.
