More like zerotonin.

So how long do you mentally prepare in order to leave the house and deal with people?... 24 hours? Cool me too.

For those that don't wanna socialize for the next 340+ days.

To say life isn't fair would be an understatement. I'm currently juggling a million responsibilities, the existential dread of the era, and trying not to absorb the pain of everyone else and everything else that currently surrounds me. It's really difficult to keep it all together. Add that to the prohibitively high cost of therapy and a psychiatrist, and the cocktail isn't one that really makes one feel loosened up. The depression gives way to anxiety, which makes me so tired that it turns bac…

And for my next trick, I'll be breaking my own heart by exaggerating my place in other people's lives

In the words of the popular rock band My Chemical Romance, “I'm nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot okaaaay, I'm not okaaaaaaaay, I'm not o-f*ckin-kay!” Yeah, I might be writing this at the end of a long weekend, but long weekends are just more free time to think about your problems if you're depressed and/or having a total existential crisis . Just kidding. Long weekends are the perfect time to try to ground oneself. While some people may turn to wordy self-help books, therapy sessions (expensiv…

Hahaha, as I write this it's almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon (evening?) and the sun has almost set. By the time I finish this listicle, it will be dark. And I'll feel as though there's nothing left of this cursed day. What will I do next? Well, that depends on my depression level . If it's low, I might actually work out and feel okay about my life. If it's at a medium, I'll probably eat dinner and watch one of my British detective series. And if it's high? Well, you know I'm taking the bong t…

Could you just send a text pls?

FIGHT!

Not me spending 2 months recharging my social battery after one Friday night out...

It kind of feels like ADHD discourse has been at an all-time high. Everyone on Twitter seems to be discussing the disorder, and our advertisements on other social media sites always seem to do with acquiring medication for the issue, or receiving counseling for it. There's a reason for this. Over the past few years, it's become clear that attention deficit disorder manifests itself in many different ways - it's not just feeling fidgety or having a poor attention span. I recently was diagnosed m…

Every battery needs to recharge sometimes.

I'M TOTALLY FINE.

We all have mental health, but some of us have less mental health than others. Conversations around mental illness often focus on more socially acceptable diagnoses. Anxiety and depression are not only extremely common but also widely discussed. In a way, they've almost become completely destigmatized conditions. It's kind of wild how much more socially acceptable to talk about these things now. Back when boomers were growing up, it was incredibly hush-hush. Nowadays, everyone's on Lexapro, and…

My seasonal depression is in its final form.

Does it always feel like you're just hanging onto your last shreds of sanity by a thread? Do you feel like the tiniest change in plans could just send you absolutely reeling and over the edge? There's also the possibility that you're so used to the lack of serotonin and dopamine that you feel nothing at all. Well, these memes are for you. Between the seasonal depression that's building as every day grows shorter, and the regular depression, ADHD, anxiety, and other mental afflictions, life can…
