    Eh, I was tired and sad all the time as a kid too. At least now I have autonomy and don’t have to live with crazy people.

      I’m guessing you mean directly living because it seems a fair bit have become crazy.

        Musta meant share housing with crazy people.

        Because we all have to live with crazy people, even more so if you have to work services or retail.

            I feel that there’s language barriers on Lemmy sometimes. Very diverse group here. I didn’t think for a second if you meant “live on this planet with crazy people” or “live in a house with crazy people” - seemed obvious to me the latter is what you meant, but maybe this is expressed differently in Germany or other countries.

              I was talking about being a child with no autonomy stuck in a house with my crazy parents.

    I know, I know okay that there are many people in bad situations or going through acute events that are terrible, and people with physiological depression but for many other people this negative malaise is self-inflicted. So many people who could be happy are focusing on and amplifying all negative parts of life, doomscrolling online, and then not taking the initiative to socialize or do things that would make them happy. This is reinforced by a culture where it is in vogue to play up your misery, and it turns into a game of one upsmanship.

    The average person reading this can actually be happy, have friends, and do things instead of wallowing in a mental cage. I’m begging and pleading with people to make an effort to break out of this.

      Right, being sad all the time is not a normal part of being an adult. If you are, then make some time to find stuff that makes you happy. I recommend sex, drugs, and rock & roll.

    Used to be sad and tired as well.

    Ditched unhealthy food. Started running. Started losing weight. Started being active.

    I used to sleep 8 to 11 hrs. Anything less and I’d be a wreck. Now I sleep 6hrs a night, even on the weekends and I’m good to go at 6am. It drives my GF nuts.

    For me it was literally that “easy”.

      I’m sad and tired. I did what you did (not a runner, I prefer lifting, but the point is the same. Eat well and work the body), and physically I’m in the best health of my life but this world is shit and it makes me sad and tired. For me, it is not that simple. No amount of exercise and healthy diet makes me less sad or tired.
