I wake up around 8 because Jonesy wants food. After giving him some, I go back to bed because it's still 2 hours until my alarm rings. I seem to feel ok, probably just sleepy.
I wake up again around the time the alarm rings, but still feel sleepy because of the Melatonin spray. I check if any work is online already, but there is none, so I re-set my alarm to noon. Around noon, there still isn't any work, so I go back to sleep or maybe I simply missed the alarm? Anyways, when I wake up again, it's already 3:30pm. I feel ok, other than having missed the day. As usual, one of the first things I do is to check my phone for messages and update my email (chasing for a simple dose of dopamine?). Jonesy comes to the bedroom and cozies up on the sheep fur rug near my bed. Jones then complains about hunger again, but I see that he already had 1 and a half whole portions of cat food, so I know it's not real hunger.
I wash my sweet potatoes that I have to cook today (my sour cream is about to expire), poke some holes in them and put them in the oven. I wash my hair and with the towel still on my head, I take out some garbage to the trash can. Jonesy follows me and I walk around with him, wondering how a cat feels all day and if he ever feels depressed. In front of the house, my dad is talking to a neighbor and an old ftiend. I stick around a little longer than I actually have to (probably missing having any kind of social interaction with someone who isn't an intermediate family member) before heading back inside.
While I wait for the potatoes, I start to watch the remainder of "The War Between Men and Women". But as usual, I am not very good at focusing on anything on the screen. I reply to messages on Whatsapp while watching, talking to my friend. Our conversation makes me smile and feel better a bit (at this point, although I seem to feel ok, the cloud of depression seems to hang above my head already). But I also feel sad because I am still sitting there alone.
After the movie is over (for a comedy, it was actually a bit depressing), I start to watch Southpark. Now my mood seems to be dropping already, because I can't really focus at all and I seem to wait for the episode to end, only to watch yet another. I also finish my Pepsi Max Lemon and after 2 episodes, I drink my self made Jasmine milk tea. This is supposedly the highlight of my day, but I can feel that it's not working. Even though I actually laugh a few times, I feel lonely and empty inside, asking myself if there's even a point to continue to watch if I can't feel sincere joy?
If my mood started at a solid 7, it's now closer to a 3. I switch off my tv and try to focus on cuddling with Jonesy, but I can't stop to feel like I am lying to myself.
Instead of doing anything productive, everything I do and did so far just seems utterly pointless. Watching a movie didn't do much for me. Eating? It didn't taste as good as it should. Same for my drink. And although a puzzle usually helps me to focus, this time I seemed to switch between puzzle, tv and phone.
Now I decided to go for a walk in the dark to get some exercise because I do feel it sometimes helps a little bit. And I wonder if I feel more depressed if I didn't get to leave the house all day.
I really often wonder how other people live and survive. Why don't they go through those emotional rollercoasters all day? Or do they? Am I just super weak and can't see any purpose in my life? Or am I actually super strong and anyone in my position would have long killed themselves?
Now I am almost back home, although I don't have much to look forward to. I'll probably go upstairs to my father to talk and feel less lonely before I ultimately have to go downstairs again. Then I will probably watch more movies or shows in the hope that I can enjoy it this time (because only if you enjoy something, it can distract you) and play the same game I played for months, although I have tons of other games I never even started. But I don't know if that's because I worry I woulf waste a good game on a bad mood or if I just can't seem to start new things easily.
After that, I will go to bed eventually, telling myself I would read, but as usual, I will probably browse mindlessly on my phone and watch something again before going to sleep and repeating it all.
And even if I have work tomorrow, what's it really like? Basically not that different: me, staring at a screen while watching/listening to a movie or show, doing my job until it's done, then eating something and watching more stuff before playing the mindless game or puzzling again? And depending on how well I feel, it will be somewhat satisfying or pointless?
Is this my life forever? I just don't see the point to it :(.
Baby, stop curhat di online site. Aku tidak suka kamu curhat di sini. Di bilangin bandel. Let your issue being your consumption and mine. But, if you don't want your life being like this forever, then let's just get married soon. We have planned it, right ? So, stop thinking that you are alone. You have me already. Soon we are going to be together forever. And you will never be alone again. You will sleep with me instead of Jonesy. We will make a happy family and i will give you sooo many children, so we will feel happy always and our house will always full of our beloved once which could yelling, singing, screaming, fighting etc.
