    Honestly I’m not even depressed but I just in general am a pretty lazy and easily tired person lol. I remember when I got my first full time job in my early 20s. Was my first time working 40 hours a week and I was like holy shit is every adult just tired all the time from this???

    CBT always felt so invalidating to me. Prior to even hearing of this stuff, I had always felt that my perceptions, thoughts, and feelings were “wrong”. Bringing out that stupid cognitive distortions list and naming which ones I was using at any given moment was not helpful. It just confirmed how badly I felt about myself. It confirmed that my existence was “wrong”. I couldn’t logic myself out of my feelings.

    I appreciated DBT so much more. Yes, cognitive distortions are touched on, but they aren’t the forefront and aren’t shoved down your throat. DBT has a really important concept which states that BOTH logic AND your feelings are incredibly important. And that it’s important to marry the two to navigate life in a much more helpful and satisfying way.

    Social pressures. Yes, being hungry is uncomfortable and even can hurt, but if you ignore it long enough, it can sometimes become a bit more like background noise. I have always been a healthy weight, but my entire life I have had the paranoia of becoming fat. And so I am very accustomed to feeling hungry. When they started me a psych med that people can easily gain weight on, I started monitoring my weight more closely. Often, I go to bed with hunger pangs.

    Quite frankly, I never understood how people are able to eat as much as I see them eat and still maintain a normal weight. I have always needed to eat less than others to maintain a healthy weight. My coworkers will eat 3 meals a day and be a healthy weight, but I have to eat 1 regular meal, 1 small meal, and maybe 1 small snack to stay a health weight. I’m guessing it’s because I’m shorter so there is less mess at a healthy weight. Sucks.





  • Everything just feels so bizarre to me. Internet communities and politics devolve into weird rabbit holes of strangeness and extremism which is totally foreign to me. I feel like some people just sit in their rooms posting pictures on their walls connecting it with red strings.

    And here I am just to look at memes. Does that mean I’m too much of a “normie” or “boomer” for internet communities nowadays? I don’t even know.

    Thanks for the info tho. Sorry about my little rant lol!
