I find that I have absolutely no energy to do anything besides get high after work. I go to the gym, do like 1 pullup and I am fucking destroyed, and I’m not the most out of shape person in existence despite my job being a desk job (for the most part). I don’t go out, I have no friends partially because I moved to a new place 6 months ago.

Please no ‘you don’t’ or ‘welcome to life under kkkapitalism’, only false promises.

Idk. I’ve been fucked the last 7 months - which is ridiculous in comparison to people with actual problems- but 3 hours of commuting daily is getting to me, even if half is in the bus. Sometimes it’s asking myself if I’m actually “putting in the work” to feel better; which is a cheap shot, but works as far as getting me to go do stuff. Idk self-discipline is good, but I rode that for too long, and now it’s all just pointless.

Walking helps I suppose? And volunteering in the community, but that energy is hard to find
