when existing feels like a full-time job

Okay, real talk, does anyone else feel like just existing in this economy, with all the societal pressures, is like... a full-time job? I'm talking about the mental load, the constant pressure to *do* something, *be* someone, plus just keeping up with basic stuff like groceries, cleaning, remembering appointments, not doomscrolling too much. My energy levels are nonexistent. Send help or coffee. Or both. 😭 #BurnoutIsReal #GenZStruggles #MentalLoad #Exhausted #AdultingIsAScam

OMG literally me. I spent an hour today just staring at my laundry pile trying to gather the mental strength to put it in the machine. Executive dysfunction is hitting different these days. It's giving 'too tired to function'.

Felt this deep in my soul. And then you open TikTok or IG and everyone else seems to be effortlessly 'thriving,' traveling, building empires, having perfect aesthetics. And I'm just here trying to remember if I brushed my teeth. The comparison trap is brutal. 🫠
