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.
Best thing for mental health is forcing yourself outside, building relationships, exercise, and achieving set goals. This requires actually doing something which is antithetical to authoritarian simps.
I'm not going to rehash my own depressive episode, but I wholly agree that what shook me out of it was accepting a heavily physical job outdoors that required me to learn quickly or be fired.
This is something many people don't realize as being far more helpful than it first appears.
Even just going out for a walk means your body is actively doing something rather than sitting curled up on a soft sofa with blankets surrounding you, whatever sounds playing, and comfort food nearby.
Getting the body working, your metabolism firing, and not wallowing are some of the simplest and relatively effective things someone can do.
Did you know? Sufficient exercise fixes most behavioral issues in dogs. It's not that much different with people.
A tired dog is a happy dog.
Don't get me started on this. At my old workplace we were talking about our dogs. I said I took mine (a very small dog) on a nice, long walk. The weather was pretty dang hot and when we got home she just drank some water and went to sleep.
Then someone told me I was needlessly torturing my dog and I shouldn't do that to her, because it's not good she passed out when we got home. Funny enough, this person had two extremely destructive golden retrievers that just destroyed everything because they were bored.
Idleness breeds issues.
