I just found some Life Pro Tips post about mental health.
Fucking Reddit is the single most miserable ass website EVER. People just keep praising each other for not trying to do anything for themselves and it fucks me up.
I have my issues. I'm not talking out of my ass. I used to have this phase of multiple panic attacks a day, sometimes like every couple hours.
Those fucks are such lazy, miserable cunts who even encourage shitty, unhealthy behaviour. They claim they have no energy to do anything the first moment it feels hard, but then they bitch and moan about not getting free therapy indefinitely and not getting enough pills.
They seem to love pills so much and talking each other into getting hooked on them.
But you encourage people to go out for fucking walks? NO, NOT ON MY WATCH, HITLER. They yell at you if you encourage someone unwell to eat better, to get creative hobbies, to develop good habits. They just say it doesn't work.
Maybe it doesn't work because they don't want it to work. They will their own selves to be fucking unhappy.
This was a rant and probably random as shit, but I am baffled when people actively make each other feel worse like this.
I try to advise something that feeds the beast while breaching the outer shell:
Make some cookies. From scratch. Lots of super easy recipes online. Make a batch, and give a third of it to someone. No friends? Go for a walk and give it to a homeless. Do with the other two thirds as you will, eat or freeze or give away or throw to the birds, doesn't matter. Well, try one at least.
By wording it as cookies, you auto-defend against a lot of naysayers who fear the HAAS ("Healthy At Any Size") crowd, which is a lot of lefties. But it forces a hobby. Likely forces TWO trips outside, one for ingredients and one for the giveaway. It forces at least a brief in-passing social interaction. And for many of them, it forces trying something new. And it's hard to fuck up cookies, under or overcooked a bit and they're still fine, too much flour or sugar or egg and they're still fine, so the result is probably going to be palatable for them, some minor success which might jar them out of their funk if it isn't chemical in nature.
I love baking and cooking and even when I was at my lowest, it helped . My peanut butter chocolate chip cookies always win.
At my workplace we regularly bring food or even cook here in the lab kitchen. They love my gyoza, I even knead the dough from scratch. Then I bring a bunch of them and cook them here, so they are fresh.
