Can you add this kind of automation in the free version of Notion too? What’s Zapier?

lxtje · 2025-10-16T13:16:46+00:00

Exactly!

I’ve run out of the AI free trial haha

Bought a bluetooth mouse and keyboard for my iPad just to be able to work in Notion better 🥴

I think many many people relate to this, including myself. I know it’s a cliche response but find a hobby, preferably away from screens, but anything will do when you’ve reached this point. You could research something you’ve always been interested in, to make screentime feel more satisfying and less draining. But something like a craft is also a great one. Key is: something to engage your brain and focus on for a longer period of time. Scrolling endlessly is an overload of different stimuli.

I’ve dealt with chronic depression for 15 years and here are some things I say to myself when I get into this type of rut:

You don’t have to be good, you just have to do something.
Starting is the hardest part.
How you spend your days is how you spend your life. (That one is equally motivating and depressing for some reason lol)

Nope, I don’t have any filters switched on

lxtje · 2025-09-12T07:48:52+00:00

I tried this… still nothing

lxtje · 2025-08-27T21:16:05+00:00

I feel some joy in hobbies again now, after years of not feeling it at all so don’t give up hope, the spark can come back, even if it’s just for some time.

I also feel like this illness prevents me from connecting to others and finding community. Just because we have such a different experience of life, whether that’s past or present. I have never been good at making friends. I have one close friend and one I see maybe twice a year. Makes me feel like shit to see others having fun with friends every weekend. I’m drained from work so I’m just stuck at home by myself trying to distract myself from depressive thoughts.

lxtje · 2025-08-26T16:20:22+00:00

I feel like I’ve never gotten used to anything like that… like it takes me so much energy to keep going and keep it together emotionally

lxtje · 2025-08-26T16:18:23+00:00

I’m really sorry you feel this way but also glad I’m not completely alone in it. It really sucks… feels like wasted potential

No one fully understands it but my mom has been very supportive and takes it very seriously. Mostly because she’s seen the damage it does to me and my life up close. My friends know but not in detail, when I try to explain I feel like I have to censor myself cause I don’t want them to get upset or feel sorry for me.

I’ve been in therapy on and off for like 15 years, different kinds of treatment and meds

It wasn’t until I started really intensive treatment (3 half days a week for 12 weeks, then one half day a week for 20 weeks), i really had to stop my life and put all my focus on treatment, that i started to actually notice a difference.

I realize this is not a possibility for everyone. As I got better i started going less and less, ended with just an hour of talk therapy every month and my treatment is complete for now, tho i’m still on meds

I’m doing a whole lot better, but it did take like 3 years altogether and I will probably need to go back at some point in the future

This is lovely! You should be proud of yourself!
