The first step is to try to feel more like a functioning human being and less like a feral world-hating curmudgeon
This is where I am at and I don't wanna, I want to embrace my not so inner at the moment feral world-hating curmudgeon!
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

I'm trying to be more positive and work on that too.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Does fake-it-til-you-make-it work for this? Asking for myself.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Right there with you.

Like, imagine trying to write a job application letter, much less interview, while feeling like the world is shit and everything is useless. I'd need cocaine, I think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I know the meme, but I can't connect how ramen equals May.
Young JT's hair looked like dry ramen, with the bleach blond and perm and over-gelling. But I'm down with forgetting JT.
Yes and yes! (And the NSYNC song "It's Gonna Be Me" sounds like "It's gonna be May.") I am glad to confirm I shouldn't have tried this comment in any other setting!
Relatedly (?), Joss Whedon came up in my staff meeting just now, and I was like, "Historically, I was a HUGE fan of his work," but left it at that.

No, it's a nightmare. This is part of why I've often had trouble getting a new job because it's usually when I'm a little depressed, feel like I hate my job and I'm no good at it.... so I'm going to sell myself on something else? Yeah, no.

Very true, job hunting is intrinsically pretty awful and doing it when so much else is generally awful can only be worse

The first step is to try to feel more like a functioning human being and less like a feral world-hating curmudgeon, so I'm working on that. Starting with return to proper exercise
Um, I need this for several things not just work. So uh...if you have suggestions let me know. Exercise is a difficult one to enact when I’m feeling feral. But I’ve been watching tiktok and feeling like an ancient crone who cannot possibly plan to date anyone because I am actually a cave troll blinking in confusion at the light after merging to become one with my couch.

I was laughing this morning because a coworker said something about taking his dog for a walk and I was like, yeah, I took myself for a walk. I don't exercise but I always go for a stupid walk. [link]
