I’m having some personal issues causing some severe depression and anxiety. I’d like to get past this time as fast as possible, and my days are dragging on. I can’t sleep, which would be a good way to make time go fast. But I also can’t just play video games, I don’t have the motivation to play more than a few minutes and it also just makes me realize how alone I am with no friends or anyone I can connect with emotionally and I spiral into my anxiety and depression.
I can do stuff during the day, run, chores, etc. But as soon as I’m done, especially at night, I start freaking out and it seems like time stands still. Does anyone have any suggestions? Activities I can do that are mindless that will just kill time and get me through the night before I can just go to sleep?
I know this question is stupid but I’m looking for at least somewhat serious answers.
I used to watch favorite TV shows, long series, and try sleeping as early as possible. Watching shows is so passive and easy that it ends up working well. It’s really important to have fun and get good sleep, so I suggest focusing on that until you figure it out.
Ugh I wish I could fall asleep early. It’s sooo hard to fall asleep before 2am or so. And then I haven’t been able to sleep past 7am or so. Which is why I said other than sleep. It’s just really hard for me to sleep, even if I’ve been incredibly active during the day.
