I see memes and stuff about people doing this and I genuinely don’t understand the reason behind it
Existential dread of facing the day?
Or is that just me?
More of an “overcome by anxiety and feelings of failure” for me.
It’s fun when it’s both.
Definitely not just you. There’s a lot of existential dread.
It is just part of their morning ritual.
I like to sit and drink my coffee after I eat breakfast. It is just a bit of Me time.
The second my body wakes up, I am in pain and want to throw up. It takes me about 10-15 minutes to stretch, adjust to the pain, and power through the nausea.
Tell us you don’t have a full time job without telling us.
I just need to compose my will to get up. Then it’s coffee brewing ritual.
the meme is about how it can be hard to face the day given work/political concerns
Ahhhhh gotcha, I thought it meant something along the lines of that, thanks for your reply!
depression for me
I typically wake up dehydrated AF. So I wake up, drink the glass of water I set out next to me the night before, and wait to not feel like I have a whole ecosystem growing in my mouth. It’s 5-10 min for me, then it’s up, toilet, restart work laptop, make coffee, greet my Person, and finally login to work laptop for the work day. 8 second commute to my work desk is choice.
TW: Suicidal ideation
When I was at a point where I genuinely considered killing myself instead of going into work I was doing that like everytime I woke up. I sat in bed debating if going to work was worth it or if I could just end it.
Preparing mentally to sit and stare for 8 hours.
I have envied people who are fully aware and alert and ready when they wake up.
For me, it takes longer than a few minutes
When i wake up, my body is immediately ready. But my mind takes a lot longer to fully boot. During that in between time you can talk to me. But my brain won’t register you.
This is me. I’d rather prefer peace and quiet before an onslaught of noise and trying to set some sense of order on the general chaos with people who have a common goal pulling in different directions to achieve it though.
Fighting that urge to lay back down
I did this in the past. And that was to wake up after stirring awake from my slumber.
Not sure what memes you are referring to. Sometimes I sit or lie in bed for a bit to get my thoughts in order, process my weird dream, listen to the birds or just enjoy not having to be in a hurry. Sometimes I just want to postpone standing up because I know I will have to sit in front of the damn computer all day again. Sometimes I stand up immediately.
