It’s just I get so bored stuck at home all day apart from hospital appointments, and what else am I supposed to do? But it’s so stressful, why is everyone so horrible there? Even seeing other people get bullied stresses me out. I always tell myself I won’t look at it any more, but then I always find myself browsing it again.
This time someone asked a simple question: Why is a fictional character in this book so poor when he has a full time job as a teacher? A couple of people explained that teachers are badly paid in the USA but like 400 other people jumped in with rude nasty comments to the OP about how stupid they are for not knowing american teachers are underpaid. The OP had clearly stated they weren’t american and was just asking a simple question.
On another subreddit someone was waxing lyrical about how poverty is a choice, if you’re poor, you’ve chosen that and the government should not give benefits to anyone as it just encourages them to be lazy.
How do you feel about podcasts? There’s a lot of really nice and even affirming listening out there made by comrades. Maybe do some doodling or stuff with your hands while at it if you need something for them to do. Adult coloring books for example are pretty nice, no need to learn anything new.
Good ideas, thanks. I’ll see if I can find some that interest me.
Personally been meaning to take up journaling, into a real book with a pen again. Used to do it a lot back in the day.
Your post gave me motivation to actually start that, because I too look at reddit way too much even though I don’t even have an account. There’s just a lot of my spesific medical stuff related subs there, but it really is so depressing and toxic.
I used to keep a dream diary and really enjoy going back and reading them, maybe I’ll at least try that again.
