      I mean, I don’t really read this image as describing clinical depression, it’s describing getting bored with a hobby and not taking a next step to make use of the expensive equipment purchased for that hobby.

      Don’t come to me with this you don’t understand depression shit, you don’t know my life. It’s a meme about wasting time with bullshit and feeling empty about it. Stop doom scrolling and make some art.

      Art is in fact widely recognized as being fantastically therapeutic. Personally, art has absolutely saved my life and pulled me out of depression spirals. Embracing it as a meaning for living when things seem futile can be incredibly helpful.

      What definitely won’t help is being self-defeating and snarky on lemmy.

        Wow, you sure did take that defensively! Maybe less doom-scrolling on Lemmy?
