That's one version of Camus' "Image sisyphus happy"

Another interpretation is "Arbeit macht frei".

Doing something physical is so much healthier than doing nothing. It's not just an illusion, it can really help people to get back on track.

Yeah, usually if I get stuck in my head I'll just go work in the garden. Bit of sunshine and toil usually gets me unstuck.

Living this rn

[–] Haui@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 years ago

I think everyone is living this. You‘re not fucked because you live this but you have the brains to be aware of it.

I remember this episode of Malcolm in the Middle

[–] Lyricism6055@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What's the point? Now my room is clean... Why am I even still here?

I need to move out of this box of sardines but because of medical bills and house prices I can't.

What is the point?

Sorry... You guys caught me on a very bad day mentally and I can't even clean to get this shit out of my head.

Can you... go for a walk/run or something?

[–] Lyricism6055@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Went for a 40 mile bike ride and a 10 mile walk. Cleaned my room, kissed my daughters good night. And yet I'm still here wondering wtf im doing

[–] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 1 points 2 years ago

Sorry to hear that, my friend. Hang in there, ok? Don't do anything sudden.

I would help you if I could but I am mentally in a similar situation.

[–] Catsrules@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Ahh you will have a clean room! Win win!

[–] Eylrid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

In my experience exhaustion makes the dread spiral worse

[–] nameisnotimportant@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Some of those wikihow are hilarious 😂

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

another trick is to making cleaning actually fun by challenging yourself.. try it blindfolded, or with one hand, etc.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Music helps a lot

[–] LemmyFeed@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And weed.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Does it? I usually forget to clean after smoking weed and get distracted by other activities

[–] recarsion@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

My "trick" is to put it off until I can't bear the mess anymore and then it actually feels like I'm getting something done and I'm doing it because I want to as opposed to it being a pointless chore
