  • How to make a month go by as fast as possible other than sleeping

    Jump

  • I actually occasionally do volunteer at a shelter. It's a good idea, but I'm mostly asking about things to do once all the available "activities" are over. Let's say, starting at 9pm or so

  • I had been on zoloft for a while but stopped a few years ago. I actually just started again very recently. We'll see if that works.

    Weed doesn't help for me, it makes me more anxious. TV also helps for a little bit

  • I do a similar thing, melatonin but I'll put on TV. Simpsons, futurama, bob's burgers are all good sleep shows.

  • I played WoW for ages. I tried going back during shadowlands, but, it's just so different from what I enjoyed about it at its peak (wrath).

    Is there a current MMO that really requires teamwork, as well as the ability to find a consistent group? A month probably isn't long enough though, and I don't think I'm mentally in a place to grind to a level cap without already having friends in game.

  • If those are feelings you deal with chronically, however, and you have the means to do so, I highly suggest trying to find professional help

    It's a combination of an expiration date as well as chronic. I started therapy recently and I'm on meds as well. We'll see how that goes. So I just want to get this short period over with, because the combination is pretty unbearable..

  • This is what I meant by

    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.

    I run, and do activities to make the day go by. But that's not sustainable. I'd love to be able to do like a 7 day adventure race, or try to run a ultra marathon or something crazy like that. But I'm not physically capable of that at the moment (I'm in really good shape, but not at THAT level. I run like 5-10 miles a day at most) and I'd just end up hurting myself trying.

  • I actually have started therapy. But it's only once a week. So that doesn't really help the time aspect. That's more of a long game

  • I take melatonin, which helps a lot. But the issue is I just have trouble sleeping right now in general. I'd love to be able to sleep 14 hours a day all month. But I'm lucky if I get 6-7

  • I don't understand the hate for voyager. Sure it had some problems, but I thought it was great. Both at the time and looking back on it

  • How do you connect with people and make friends without social media?

    Jump

  • In the end, nothing matters at all; everything you and I do is ultimately going to fade into irrelevance when we’re dead.

    This is exactly why other people are the only thing that matters. I'm already depressed and have this nihilistic view. So doing hobbies that don't matter and I don't really care about doesn't mean shit to me. But making someone else feel good, and enjoying having a connection is the only thing that makes any of this worth it.

  • I'm planning on signing up for a couple of rec sports leagues on volo. I'm afraid everyone there is going to be like 20 years old though

  • She does. But it's a little complicated. And that also leads to my question. I talk with a couple people through her, but I don't know how to continue to stay in touch, or how to just talk with them except to plan an activity or something.

    Jump

  • That's how I've always felt. I've always been the friend of those people. I've only ever made 1 actual, deep connection with a person. And it's deeeeep. And I couldn't tell you how it happened. But I partly feel like I'm losing that, and I won't ever be able to get it back, or replicate it with someone else.

  • I think it's just so overwhelming to start from nothing with new people. I have essentially one person in my life who I've spent almost 2 decades with. I've always had trouble with balance. I have a few acquaintances, but I recently realized I need to have a closer relationship with more than 1 person.

  • I guess that's just not what I'm looking for. I have a couple people I do activities with. But that's not really a connection. I don't know. I guess I'm just depressed, but it's more than just that. I need some kind of lasting and consistent human connection.

  • How do you connect with people and make friends without social media?

    Jump

  • I kind of disagree. I have some hobbies and I've done some of those things, but what matters to me is the human connection. So at the end of the day you have your herb garden, who cares? It's just going to die eventually, or you'll eat it, and it regrows. An endless cycle of no one giving a shit.

    But having someone to connect with and share an experience with, that's what matters to me.

  • I mean becoming more than acquaintances. And especially just having people to talk to at random times without pressure of 1 on 1 texting or phone calls. Like just sharing stupid memes and being able to asynchronous chat and get to know people.

    I guess what I want is to get close with people and not just be acquaintances. Especially at night

  • I think it's more just that it's a low stakes way to "hang out" and chat without any commitment or pressure. At least that's how I see the value

  • What was the common thread from when you met the person? How did you hit it off with them?

    So I've been married for 12 years, and we've been together since college, where we met. And my wife's basically the only person I interact with socially. And I think I'm straining my marriage by using her as my crutch. I've kind of relied on her for literally all of my socializing, like tagging along with her and her friends. But I've recently realized that that's not healthy and I need someone to talk and interact with independent of her. But it's really hard.
