sometimes i canāt tell the difference between sadness and depression but usually i make a gut-wrenching playlist with beautiful sad music specific to my situation and then i listen and wallow for a while LOL. but then if it continues past a few days i try to repair my sleep schedule (bound to occur), force myself to journal, leave the house, meditate, do fun things and listen to happier music, etc. cuz i know if you keep wallowing you just get Stuck

i find that hanging out with friends helps me a lot, like the people that really make you laugh and feel good about yourself. that being said, it is totally okay to wallow in the sadness and feel it, because that is the only way it will ever pass. i would play sad music from a playlist and allow myself to cry for the duration of the playlist, then when it was over i would get up and try to do something else. this helps set a boundary while allowing you to feel the emotions and still be productive. also, find things that you love doing. for me, it was anything creative. making art that reflects how i'm feeling was a great outlet. eat good food, cry, hangout with friends, go to bookstores, cry, go to art galleries, redecorate your room, treat yourself to some new clothes, cry, do some yoga, go on an outside walk/hike, cry. and then wake-up every day and do the best that you can. it really does get better, i promise. sending hugs, you got this!!

Whenever I am really sad or torn up honestly I let myself bask in it and look at sad quotes on twitter. Though, I always find going for a drive and just letting myself go and do whatever I want in my car or walks! I just love seeing the beauty of nature. Also anything tedious that is creative like hand sewing so I can focus on something else and usually my mind doesn't wander. Hope all gets better!

iām stuck at this period of stagnation (too much to explain, but itās been 4 months of feeling like iām stuck and i still got about 3 more months to go) and to be honest, really not a fan of waking up and feeling like this is just another day iāll have to power through
in the past i give myself these days where i just consume sad music and watch melancholic movies and just curl up on my ownāand iām just upping my dosage of that.
itās not a depressive episode, itās not that grand. itās just accepting how you feel and it actually will make the feeling of stagnant feels a bit more tolerable on the next day. combined with tea & coffee, reading and yoga, it helps me for the time being

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and itās actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic youāre passionate about

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining peopleās attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends -
fake words that people now use IRL (āunaliveā), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, āalpha maleā podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche thingsā¦ the list goes on
