Under-stimulated -> depressed -> exhausted -> can’t move -> under-stimulated
Under-stimulated -> anxious -> isolate yourself -> under-stimulated
I must’ve been a real badass in a past life to piss off so badly whichever God created me.

Under-stimulated -> extremely irresponsible impulsive acts with negative consequences. Sometimes severe.
Stop it…stop reading my thoughts
I’m in this picture and I hate it here.
Feels.
Also: Under-stimulated -> anxiety -> Have To Do Something, Anxiety Driving Me Nuts-> DO ALL THE THINGS -> stress!! -> stimulation burst because of stress -> overwork -> over-stimulated -> burnout -> depression -> under-stimulated
The neurospice flows strong in this one
Having disciplined myself to break such downward spiral cycles helped. That is, if I feel stagnant, I force myself to do something, anything else. Maybe it could help you too?
Hey … I’d like to sign up for your newsletter
I do not have a newsletter nor I know what it has to do with the post.
I think they were joking that you give good advice. I probably need to follow it too. Good tip.
If it’s a joke, totally missed the point, so sorry to teamevil if I sounded too coarse. "<.<
Yep you’re correct…it was a (bad) old Simpsons reference when someone had cromulent information
Oooh, cromulent. Nice.
Also a lame Simpsons reference.
…
Excuse, can you please use the word in a sentence?
Very well, Cromulent is a hard word to spell

For me it’s: under-stimulated -> nap time.
naptime ⟩ missed alarm ⟩ late to work ⟩ fired ⟩ understimulated
I had this happen a lot, then I was zapping around the TV aimlessly for hours.
It turned out I was out of energy. Mental battery empty.
One of the biggest changes was - I trained myself to have rest days where I do “nothing” every week (that is “nothing which taxes me. mentally”, so also no meeting with friends or so). As long as I have enough energy left, I can compensate for a lot of stuff - so I make sure I have enough energy. (Playing on the console is fine, watching TV is fine, cooking is relaxing me, even doing a limited number of chores)
Those undestimulated days are rare now, compared to 4 years ago.
