Just scrolling and consuming content is very bad for body and mind. If you feel numb like this, try to find one or several forms of self-expression that works for you.
Can be drawing, dancing, singing, petting animals, programming, staring at trees, knitting, gardening, making memes, recording videos. And even better: you're permitted to do all of it badly and just enjoy yourself, no rules need to be followed.
Being active helps as well. Walking, lifting, whatever.
Thanks, now I’m a depressed powerlifter
Pro tip, use a spotter.
Not for long. Exercise does massively help depression. Being able to get yourself to exercise while depressed is the hard part.
It happens, but the numbness goes away for a few hours a week, and now you're swole and juicy af.
