I'm starting to suspect that something's wrong with me. I oversleep, I sleep very deeply, and I feel nothing every single day. Just... emptiness and boredom no matter what.

Been there, solved half of it,

Do you drink enough water? Hydration is necessary for serotonin

Are you eating enough calories? A severe deficit can slow down your metabolism and the rate of brain chemistry gets released

If you are eating enough calories, are you eating diverse enough? We need an wide array of nutrients and minerals to keep producing everything we need to keep content, check your iodine especially, and your vitamin d

Are you getting enough sleep? It's impossible to be content and see much hope in life if you're tired

Then you have to remember humans are social animals, make sure to eat at the same table with somebody and just chit chat and riff about life at least once a week, a shared joy is a double joy, a shared sorrow is half a sorrow.

There's more but my app is about to be blocked, because I try to not spend time doom scrolling, I found that spending too much time on short video format tires my brain
