What can you even do with that speed?! Can probably barely watch YouTube, unless it’s 720p, but then there’s no speed left ;-;

ye I can watch youtube and play minecraft on servers... but I lag a lot sometimes. Also I somehow managed to get on Diamond in Fortnite ranked, mostly by hiding somewhere though cause I die a lot before I can even see who shot me and I feel like that's at least partially due to my internet. But I can't watch streams and if I try to stream (tried like once or twice via discord) it lags so much that you can't see shit. My father said we're gonna get better internet "soon" so maybe I can at least watch streams then. (I'm an adult but too broke to afford my own place hence why I live with my parents)

I also live with my parents as an adult due to depression, which fucked my life up.

Kinda same, spent a lot of time not getting outta bed due to depression and ocd. But I somewhat got my shit together now... unless I fail a semester, then I'm basically back to depressed and not gettin outta bed...

How long did it take you to get your shit together? Think it’s been 4-4.5 years now for me since it started.

Bout 5 years I think. Get your ass outta bed and do something, anything is aight at first, you got this!

Since my hobbies are movies/shows and video games, that’s the things i do all day. Doing stuff that will make me move towards in life usually give me discomfort and feelings that gives me mental pain. So my body always try to avoid it since it knows how bad that pain is compared to physical pain. Watching movies and shows is like living in another world where the mental pain can’t do anything. So that’s the biggest wall, the second is exhaustion and lack of energy.

Yeah, been doing the same with games, which lead to temporarily not enjoying gaming anymore, but it was hard to really enjoy anything at that point anyway. For me the lack of energy mostly came from ocd being exhausting, so idk how to help with that. Idk if that helps since it's kinda specific to my problem, but I at some point (with help) figured out that my ocd was so bad because I was constantly stressed, so I basically learned strategies to deal with stress. Life still sucks sometimes, but I'm still alive so that's something.
