Comfort food and comfort activities, but:

[glowingfish]

I am the type of person who sometimes, meaning often, likes to do things like get a tray of microwave macaroni and cheese and watch YouTube videos. Take it easy, enjoy simple and cheesy pleasures! Read some comic books, and by comic books, I don't mean "thought-provoking graphic literature", I mean Spider-Man punches themed villains.
I like doing all of those things.
Especially now that we are in the cold winter months, totally time to hunker down, enjoy something simple and filling, enjoy lots of starches, and browse through simple reading and watching and repetitive gaming.
Except none of those things work for me. Like, I am trying to just enjoy myself, but they just don't register anymore. :(

I am also this type of person, and for a while I stopped being able to just settle in to them, it was like there was an underlying mass of anxiety over my life in general, and I couldn't enjoy anything. It did get better though, and I'm almost back to being that type of person. For me I think it was burnout related. Is there something that's caused you to burn out?

I mean, just about everything.

I feel I am in an unwinnable game.

I'm so sorry, it must feel so hard at the moment. I hope it breaks and you get to feels things again soon.

The problem is, I know I am not thinking 100% straight, but I also know that there are objective reasons for me to feel this way.

I think that in itself is a positive. Having the awareness that this is not normal, means that you're still there and you will be able to find yourself again.. situations permitting.
