How Do You Pass The Time?

[KafkaF]

Something I've been struggling with more and more as my depression has gotten worse is just passing the time. I get joy out of almost nothing and I am in constant emotional pain. And even those rare times when I'm not in incredible pain, I'm completely numb. I also barely have the energy to leave my bed most days and can just about manage to sit at my desk for a few hours every day. All of this is awful though because doing nothing stretches out the moments so much. Getting through every moment feels like hell.

So I just wanted to ask: What do you do to get through every moment? Anything in particular?

In my case I guess being on here is a way to pass time, I've used this place to vent about my wish to cease existing. But overall I'd see sleeping as the best way to pass the time as sleeping is the closest to not existing after all but of course it isn't like it's always straightforward to just fall asleep, I often find it hard to fall asleep.

For me only an dreamless and eternal sleep is really desirable though, I certainly understand that it's torturous existing as a conscious being, I hate how existence doesn't come with an permanent offswitch to easily just find peace from all the suffering.

Nothing much helps me really. I chat, play video game, watch tiktok but dont enjoy any of it. Just a temporary distraction. I am unable to do anything not even brush my teeth. It's been two years like this now so I just have to kill myself already.

Playing ARAM in League. It's sad to come to the realisation though that half the players arent even real.

Browsing SaSu. Talking to few online friends. Watching TV. It's all I do. Gets pretty boring quickly

Booze & erotica. Sometimes video games if I can muster the attention for it.

Skateboard, listening to music, or guitar

I play games, draw, watch YouTube videos or listen to podcasts. I used to watch a lot of shows and movies in the past too. I also browse social media platforms but those are getting more and more toxic so I try to stay off of them. Oh and I also cook sometimes and cleaning the apartment takes quite a lot of time and energy

Youtube addict here. I've poured thousands of hours into watching youtube videos like chill vlogs with cozy music and cozy imagery or cozy gameplay of the latest indie games. I'm kinda living vicariously through other people's lives. Sometimes replaying the same video over and over again if it matches my mood.

Nowadays I mainly use music and podcast to pass the time I used to play games alot but they suck now lol

Often i research things 24/7 which involves Wikipedia, Youtube, reddit and checking out random sites.

Sometimes i like to find out as much as i can on people, i try to find out everything about them. It's a fun detective game i play, harmless curiosity. Sometimes i "File a dossier"

Especially if it was a difficult one.

Other times i play video games or download a shit ton of movies, or read my daily dose of doom and horror.

Some days i create a fake identity and worm my way into groups online, i have many "Identies" stored and filed whenever i need to pluck them out, all anonymous and encrypted just right.

The shit and lunacy I've encountered from the above is unreal..
