Experiment Do you need to keep your mind occupied or can you LDAR doing nothing for hours?

[ColdLightOfDay]

When truly depressed I find sometimes my mind doesn’t want to focus on anything and would rather blankly suspend itself in stasis.

I have to focus on something to stave off depression.

I used to be able to do literally nothing but stare into the garden for hours just thinking but the older I've got I do this only for very short amounts of time while having a cup of tea or something and I need to be occupied to stay sane now. Even if it's just posting here it's good enough stimulation.

As they say, An idle mind is the Devil's playground. You will cope much better if you keep your mind active and concentrated on other things. I can say this as someone who has had depression most of their life, if you sit around doing nothing your mind will wander and before long you will start thinking negative thoughts. You keep doing that every day and it will destroy you slowly. I really don't know why so many ppl here advocate LDAR, as it's essentially just a quick road to suicide.

Society wants us to die. They want us to just disappear because our mere existance is an inconvenient truth for them that they don't want to confront. The best way to give them a middle-finger is to find happiness and keep living while shoving blackpills in their face.

Only in nature can i do nothing but stare at the trees and sky for several hrs. Inside i need to do something unless i light a chimney fire and stare at it.

I can easily do nothing all day, I did it for many years before I used this site.

I have no problem at all doing literally nothing, but I feel improductive when I do that, so I prefer being occupied.

 

[Joelossus]

I've to keep myself distrected tbh, even if it's just by daydreaming, it still keeps my mind occupied.

 

[Deleted member 14866]

[Baldcuecel]
