If a filmmaker really wanted to do a plot twist they'd cast Barry Keoghan as a totally normal well adjusted guy who's been to therapy

Countdown to Altman starting an Ethical AI think tank with a ten-month fellowship program

Staying in bed worked, I'm feeling a lot better

Current coping strategy: if I don't get out of bed I can't take steps to kill myself so it's ok if I can't get out of bed

this is probably why I get so aggro at the "there's no time for despair" scolds—motherfucker I'd love to not despair!! but I apparently cannot turn off this part of my brain that wants to fixate on getting enough painkillers to never wake up and the shame I feel about that only fuels the despair more

my horoscope said I should try to think about my career goals today so now I'm just depressed because I don't think they're remotely attainable, lol
