Surprised nobody has mentioned depression as a possible cause. Do you have health insurance that would cover a therapist?

If not, I agree with the suggestion of exercise. It doesn't have to be much. Walk around the house a few times in the morning and evening. Walk around the building after you clock out at work. Take the steps down from all of your classes.

Oh that's definitely depression.

Or, imo, what OP describes is a totally normal response to this current unsustainable consumer-centric phase of human civilization.

I think the term depression merely attempts to pathologize a properly calibrated state of awareness, especially of that within middle or lower class society.

Deep down, you KNOW sooo much of what we do is a total fkn waste of time and life. But we do it anyways. Because the machine has too much momentum. Some people successfully deceive themselves into believing there's a point.

Others struggle to get out of bed.
