This post is certainly outside of the norm of shower thoughts. I think in general people want posts that score a little higher on the scale of funny and interesting. Taking the sidebar strictly:

• Does this thought pop into people's heads? yeah, probably
• Is it lighthearted? Not really, but its friendly.
• Is it clever? No
• Is it true? Yes

Exist out of spite. The terrors persist, but so do I.

I'm tired boss

Hello darkness my old friend, I have come to speak with you again..

A couple of years back I fell asleep at like 8 PM and slept through to 6:30 AM. Then I fell back asleep around 8 or 9 and slept until noon. When I woke up I didn't feel tired at all. This had been the first time I felt like that in I don't know how long

Burnout.

Same, fellow human, same.

He hears the silence howling

Catches angels as they fall

And the all-time winner

Has got him by the balls

Oh, he picks up Gideon's Bible

I said, God, he stole the handle and,

The train it won't stop goin'

No way to slow down

No way to slow down

No way to slow down

I say find a hobby you can do and check out. Today I was flying my kite and tuned out

That's just the impending clinical depression creeping in.

Take a week. Avoid any social media, news, etc. as much as you possibly can. Try to get out in nature by going for short walks and just focus on doing things you enjoy (or try something new). Yes, the world keeps going - but you need to recharge your batteries, my friend. Take. A. Break.

You’re not alone.

I was never one to analyze dreams but I thought it was comical a couple weeks ago I told someone I have repetitive dreams where I am just hanging out in an empty parking garage at night. Just grey cement, don't really know what floor it's on, not the bottom, not the top. Throwing a ball around with a couple people I don't know or can't even see. The ball rolls down the ramps when someone doesn't catch it and we spend most of our time running back down to fetch them. At no point in time am I ever trying to change what's going on, the conversations are just blurs of nothing worth noting. Yet I still don't want the dream to end and have to get up so I keep pushing it forward.

Not till they mentioned that interprets to feeling worried/ stressed, stuck, and unmotivated did I ever consider, well yeah... Of course that's what that means. I haven't had that dream since, but it was comical to take something I was blatantly ignoring and putting words to it.

Not saying any of it has real merit, just conversing

Wrong sub, but I agree with you wholeheartedly Every single word of it.

This belongs in !casualconversation@lemmy.world or !shootingthebreeze or whatever, not here. Like 1 in 3 other posts, yes. Literally breaks rules #1 and #2.

The "mods" in this community are asleep at the wheel. Might as well not have them.
