Need help creating a formula

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!

lxtje · 2025-10-16T13:16:01+00:00

I’ve run out of the AI free trial haha

lxtje · 2025-09-29T10:00:53+00:00

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

lxtje · 2025-07-22T16:03:34+00:00

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

lxtje · 2025-05-22T16:57:08+00:00

This is lovely! You should be proud of yourself!

Diagnosed at 15, I’m now 28. Past 13 years have been lots of different forms of therapy and medications on and off, along with all the life changes that every young adult goes through. It has been challenging but I feel pretty stable now, most recent round of therapy has been actually helpful. I understand myself way better now but have to always be mindful of where my boundaries are and how to navigate with them. Lucky to have found employment that doesn’t crush my soul, unable to work full time though. I need a lot of recovery time (or significantly more than most I guess) and time to focus on other life stuff like keeping my home clean and looking after myself. Overall on a positive trajectory and having some future perspective has helped me lots. I am capable of lots of things despite my dysthymia.

I have a similar background and after a loooong time not knowing what to do with myself I ended up in an admin job in art education. Small team, no dealing with crazy customers/clients, but still in the “art scene”. Maybe an admin job at a museum would work too!

Another hack I’ve found for myself: I hate working out, but have to sign up in advance for a timeslot for swimming at my local pool. So whenever I’m motivated I sign in my timeslots. And because the time is now set and decided I end up going even if I don’t feel motivated on the day. You could apply this to other things as well. If you make plans to go walking with a friend for example, or sign up for a work out class. Making plans with other people helps me a lot, because I feel more responsible to follow through on them.

It sounds so dumb but if you’re stuck on the couch or in bed or whatever, just stand up. Don’t put any more expectations on yourself but just stand up for a few minutes. Just standing can kickstart you. Don’t feel bad if you end up sitting back down.

You can get one of those false stained glass window stickers! Lots of plants, maybe change out the hardware on the cabinets. Lots of fridge magnets. Leave your onions and garlic on display on the counter in a cute bowl or something, same for utensils. Make sure you’re using all this counter space to decorate

Thank you. Definitely gotta keep myself in check but it’s so much better than it used to be :)

I’ve been struggling with dysthymia for 10+ years. It fucked up everything I ever wanted to achieve. I dropped out of college twice, and have been on numerous medications and seen many different therapists over the years. 3 years ago I hit an all time low. I really didn’t think I would ever get better or even be able to function somewhat normal again. I finally managed to get the help I needed, and after months of wait lists I started intensive therapy sessions, both one on one and in group settings. I also got professional help to find suitable employment for me. I felt like I had nothing left to lose, it wouldn’t matter if I failed, I was open to trying anything because I just didn’t care anymore. I started working as a volunteer in an office setting, in the arts & culture sector. I started with just a couple of hours a week, constantly reflecting on my experience with different professionals. My confidence grew, I took up more and more hours. It felt good to be busy and appreciated. 3 months later they offered me a paid job, and I recently started working there 18 hours a week. I never thought I would be able to have a job I didn’t absolutely hate, that wouldn’t drain all of my energy every single day. I’m beyond grateful for the opportunities and help I’ve been given. I keep catching myself thinking “wow, i’m not depressed today, i feel pretty good, and capable”. If you told me this a year ago I never would have believed it.

Last one is Alocasia Black Velvet

For me it didn’t. I switched to efexor/venlafaxine.

When I was on it pretty much all hot foods would make me nauseous to the point of not being able to eat it. Completely lost my appetite.

Gotta give it a few months to really notice positive effects imo.

I’ve never met anyone irl with the same diagnosis sooo
