    Just scrolling and consuming content is very bad for body and mind. If you feel numb like this, try to find one or several forms of self-expression that works for you.

    Can be drawing, dancing, singing, petting animals, programming, staring at trees, knitting, gardening, making memes, recording videos. And even better: you’re permitted to do all of it badly and just enjoy yourself, no rules need to be followed.

    “Nothing.” You know: memes, scrolling, YouTube. I mean if you’ve tried all three, what else in the world can a person do?

      They might have tried to do other stuff, but struggle to find the motivation. Like, you might try to pick up drawing, but all you do is to stare at a blank canvas. Maybe scribble a little bit and then you go back to bed.

      There’s not even motivation for the bare minimum, like scrolling meaningless stuff.

      Nah. Felt like this since I was 8 or 9. Now I’m a lot better and don’t struggle with my self esteem that much anymore and I haven’t seriously thought about killing myself in a few months
