I’ve been dealing with depression a lot since I quit drinking. I’ve found that exercise does help, but for me it has to be exercise that I actually enjoy. I’ve been going for walks. I like exploring different parts of my neighborhood and now that I’ve been doing it a while I can cover 4 or 5 miles in a day! Being in better shape gives me more energy and I actually feel like getting up and doing something instead of just vegging out in front of the TV for hours

I’ve also found that just cleaning my space has been really helpful. I let my house turn into a disgusting mess when my depression was at it’s worst, and the act of tidying it all up helped improve my mood a lot. Having actual space to work and everything where its supposed to be has made me much more productive artistically too. Seeing a mess every day was just making me more depressed.

Finding a new hobby that you have to learn about and get better at can really help with getting the creative process going too.

I hope this is helpful. I know the same things don’t always work for everyone, but I’m in a much better place than I was 2 years ago now

I watched this video earlier today and he’s technically correct that he doesn’t actually say anything that is explicitly racist in the lyrics. A lot of the imagery does heavily imply that he’s talking about liberals and minorities but very carefully avoids just saying it outright

What the lyrics do convey quit openly is his call for vigilantism, gun violence, and xenophobia. It’s basically an entire song threatening to beat up or murder any outsiders he disagrees with who show up in his “small town” of 150,000 people.

It’s pretty disgusting that someone who witnessed a mass shooting would promote such things

What is this? It’s from a video game?

Because when the world collapses we will definitely need a narcissistic disgraced CEO to survive the apocalypse… Someone should convince him to go live in his bunker now so we don’t have to listen to his bullshit anymore

I don’t know if we’re still doing the beans thing or not, but I’ll upvote the baked beans gaming dice because they are awesome lol

I’m like 95% sure it’s probably something I’m doing wrong lol

I was not aware there were designated cross stitch holidays like this lol! Sadly I will be out of town this weekend, but I will try to take part in the next one!

I’m still very new to this hobby, so I’m still just doing one project at a time, but I do already have like 3 more projects lined up and I’ve considered starting one of them already

Yes it seemed more difficult to do just about anything on Kbin to me, but that may be in part because of the app I was using and the recent influx of so many Redditors though

I’m pretty new to the Fediverse but I tried Kbin and Lemmy and so far I’ve enjoyed using Lemmy a lot more. It just feels more intuitive.

NSFW? Is this a porn sub now? I have to say some of these modern porn videos are getting very avant garde…

I haven’t owned an LG product since they made flip phones and now I guess I never will again lol

Imagine buying a washing machine for $800 and being told it comes with a monthly subscription fee… I’d rather go wash my clothes on a big rock down by a river

I remember my password but it won’t let me log in anywhere else besides this app on this one device for some reason

The theme from DuckTales. Also the song “The Moon” from the DuckTales video game on NES is especially good

I love David Mitchell lol

Why don’t they train them to fly there sober? That seems like the responsible thing to do…

Why do they care so much if the employees wear masks? Personally I’m completely fine with the person handling my food having a mask on!

The article says some bullshit about wanting to “show customers their smiles”… It’s fast food, you’re interacting with this person for all of 2 minutes lol wtf

It’s working fine on Jerboa

Sounds like a good deal to me!

I was banned from the Anti-Work subreddit for questioning why someone in a picket line was dressed like the wish .com version of Che Guevara. He looked ridiculous, nobody else was dressed up, and they were picketing a fucking Starbucks.

I thought it was just a funny observation but the mods banned me after it got upvoted to top comment on the post lol
