Hmm it's worth a short. Got a link?

Best I got is 8 hours

I can get you a 12 hour Oblivion review, or the infamous 20 hour Skyrim retrospective: Act I and Act II

Me, but instead of Morrowind it’s hbomberguy’s video on Pathologic.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Still waiting for Joseph Anderson's Witcher 3 video essay.

Kinda same for me, but instead os listening to Morrowind video essays I drink.

Idk how I could east sleep and shower all at the same time but I'm open to suggestions lol.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Iirc there was a subreddit called ShowerOrange. I suggest you use a seedless one and cut the orange into fourths first so you don't have to bite through the skin, but leave the skin on for that burst of scent.

Wash and rinse yourself first, then CHOMP into that orange while the warm water runs over you from the back. Squeeze the rind to scent the steam.

After eating the orange, close your eyes and turn facing the water, letting it wash the orange droplets away along with your cares and sins, standing there in a dream state until you start to run out of hot water.

No no, part of the magic of shower orange is digging your fingers in and ripping the orange in half, then mashing the ripped halves into your face. But yes, seedless works best.

Oh! Ah! You've convinced me!

I have to go pick out a couple large navels 🍊🍊 in case one is dry.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Take an apple and an eye mask into the bath

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I think you should just move into the shower and get yourself a plastic pillow.

You can come out when you've washed all your sins away

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You can certainly eat when you shower, ask George Costanza. Aand it's very therapeutic. You can sleep after

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Advocating for using eating as a coping mechanism during times of distress is a shitty idea.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't really think that's what this is saying but maybe I'm biased. For me, between depression and ADHD eating is something that's easy to forget to do and certain emotions definitely become stronger when you fail to eat.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

That's an interesting different perspective. See, I saw it and thought it meant like comfort eating - which I mean if you're hating people several times a day, you're gonna end up being perfectly spherical.

But, like you say.. It could be from not /forgetting to eat, like a hangry and eat a snickers "you're not you when you're hungry" situation.

Interesting, I can see it from both ways now - the beauty of good discussion.

I have both of those issues as well and I know how worthless this sounds for you right now: counting my calories and having a good eating routine helped me get healthy. It's nice that my hyper fixation is focused on my wellbeing right now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

That can easily spiral into an ED. Be careful. My gf went down that rabbit hole once.

These aren't coping mechanisms that it's trying to describe, it's a cartoon version of a checklist for those with poor interoception. Basically, it's saying if you're feeling the feelings in column A and you don't know why, it's likely you've forgotten to fill a bodily need in Column B: Fatigue makes you more sensitive to criticism, Hunger raises your aggression, a failure to do Self-Care can lead to lessened feelings of self-worth.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

I think it's more referring to feeling "hangry", not necessarily the general hatred of other people. It could be more specific to avoid confusion but it also is just a cute raccoon webcomic and usually there's some nuance lost in webcomics.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

100%. If you're feeling all pent up and you hate everyone - get some fresh air. Sit outside, go for a little walk if you can. Nothing massive, just up and down the street, around the block will suffice.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

...or rub one out. You're walking around out there with a loaded gun! That shit fucks with your head

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I don't think it's meant to be taken literally.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Man, I am going to get so fat. Eating 24/7 is going to be rough.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

When am I getting any shit done with all the sleeping, eating, and taking showers?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

When you're a raccoon, that is getting shit done.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Gotta shit before you can do shit. Even if you only did 1 hour of extra shit today, if you did it without burning yourself out that extra little bit, then you're winning. It's like regenerative/sustainable productivity.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If you eat every time someone makes you mad and you work in IT, you're not going to fit on that toilet before long.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

No, no, it's

When you feel like everyone hates you, murder.

When you hate everyone, murder.

When you hate yourself got murdering everyone, shower to hide the blood.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

i keep showering but the shame just won't come off!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What if you are not tired, hungry, or dirty?

There are few things more simultaneously difficult and satisfying as motivating your sick/depressed/lethargic self to get into the shower. But once you've done it, the feeling can be like night and day.

This also applies to being ill and having to force yourself to stomach food.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

everyone hates you? THEY DO!

you hate everyone? YOU IDIOT!

you hate yourself? AS YOU SHOULD!

(this is a joke ok)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I would try that, but I can't sleep in the shower. 😜

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When you feel like everyone hates each other?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Sleep while they eat each other

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Eat sleep rinse repeat

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I don’t get the showering part.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A bit of self care can often help a mood

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I always feel less anxious after a good shower, it’s cathartic!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm the opposite, showers make me more anxious!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'd say exercise and/or shower when you feel bad about yourself.
