Tell me about it. It's kind of like the Somme right now for me. People keep shovelling too much crap to deal with, and the problem is, no one is the bad guy, we're all just normal people fucking each other up while those behind the lines laugh.

Remember to change your leg wrappings frequently, trench foot is no joke.
There used to be festivals that would go on for weeks on end. This "here's a 3 day concert that costs thousands of dollars" or here's only enough PTO to juggle between mental health days and a 4 day weekend. It's truly the worst.
I used to say that during covid, the economy should have just ground down to a halt, no school, no college, no marketing, no tv, etc. Just chill out on a monthly 2,000 check.
Just spend a few years dead for tax reasons. That's what the lead singer of Disaster Area did.
I was listening to disaster area the other day. Not by choice, it just turns out that if you're loud enough sound can propagate through the interstellar medium. Fortunately the damage wasn't structural.
I get more tired every year yet the machine won't give me a break till im dead

Get up solider, there is MORKITE to mine!
ROCK AND STONE!!!!!
Rock! And! Stone!
next time I'm feeling down I will try imagining that I am a dwarf and my comrades need me to get up and mine that morkite vein
WE'RE RICH!
Wish I could but there's work to do.
I feel like I actually need to start life. Working shitty jobs + recovery from all the surgeries means I've been in a semi permanent limbo for the past few years
ugh i feel this, both for health and transition reasons
here's hoping you get life back on track soon 
Sounds good! See you in a while
Sometimes I have fantasies that I can stop time just so I can have a few days where I just sleep and draw.
I think they call that a holiday
I technically do qualify for vacation days. Maybe some day I can use them. 
Yeah. I feel that so fuckung hard. I wish I could even take a month off. It's grind is Neverending and it's killing me
I feel like I'm trying to keep plates spinning on sticks and every few days someone tosses a new plate at me.
the children yearn for hibernation
I think this thought most days. If time could stop for a couple years I might feel like I could face the next couple months without popping.
I day dream about being able to step out of time and go hang out on what is basically a perfect beach where there are no sand fleas, no dangerous animals, the temperature is always perfect, there are never hurricanes, there's a spectacular one hour rain store every day at 4pm, and the atmosphere is just deep enough that you never have to worry about sun screen. Sort of just step behind the veil and go chill on the beach that isn't real. Maybe never come back.
There's probably somewhere on earth that's been like that for centuries. Having very dark skin gets you close to no sun screen.
God, I know what you mean.
I know I sound like a broken record, but I feel anxiety all the time and I've found that sometimes something as simple as going for a walk, hitting the gym, or cooking myself dinner can ease some of my daily anxiety. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't. But it never hurts.
imo president of US should be replaced with authoritarian commie mommy who tells us all to shut up close our eyes and put our heads down on our desks heads up 7 up style, then leave us like that for several years
that’s why I’m voting for Marianne Williamson 🔮🔮🔮🔮
I wish we were a hibernating species
Not to be get weird but imagine if we had a once child policy. People would still get unlucky so most everyone could have as many kids as they wanted. There would just come a day where there were enough toasters. Like, obviously there are already enough, but there would for real be enough. Just disconnection from infinite growth messes up capitlaism. So no. We really all can't just chill in the given system. However that is all it takes to makes things better
I think we tried it with covid but it sorta accelerated things.
Try meditation. A break from life is basically what it is for.
