Last time I really felt like this, maybe a month or so later I got hit with depression, so I think it was a sort of red flag for where my mental state was headed.
I do think it’s probably a result of vitamin/nutrient deficiency (especially Vit D), lack of exercise, and dehydration.
sounds like it's time to see a therapist i guess. thankfully i lack none of those
hmmm do you drink alcohol? Gotta be something causing some sort of imbalance
Maybe even consuming too much online content and screen time? All the news you see on social media nowadays seems to be extremely intense and can mentally drain you especially in vulnerable moments like when you are first waking up/going to sleep or while “zoned out”.
I’m sure that can’t be healthy and has gotta be depleting something from all of us and negatively affecting us in some way
no, i don't. Maybe i do consume too much online content, but i also do take breaks and try to avoid drama to the best of my abilities. I'm not entirely convinced social media is the source of my problems especially since i only use lemmy and youtube now.
