I see memes and stuff about people doing this and I genuinely don’t understand the reason behind it
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.
Yes, I like that too! Some people drink coffee for the caffeine. But honestly, I never really cared about that part. I just love waking up with enough time to relax a bit with a nice cup of Joe. :)
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!
Existential dread of facing the day?
Or is that just me?
More of an “overcome by anxiety and feelings of failure” for me.
That, and as an adhd-haver, my morning stims havent kicked in yet
Definitely not just you. There’s a lot of existential dread.
depression for me
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
My brain and body don’t immediately activate when I wake up.
Think of it like when you had to wait several minutes for Windows 98 to boot from a slow mechanical HDD platter lol!!
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.
I’m tired and can’t be bothered to get out of bed yet, need to wake up a bit more.
Fighting that urge to lay back down
I usually sleep so deep that after I wake up I’m still semi-conscious for some time and i’m afraid that if i stand up i might land on my face. All gears are definitely not working right away.
The other ten minutes is just existential dread.
I’m trying to decide between facing another day or ending it all. Some days it takes a little more thought to justify getting up.
With a little bit of practice you can save time by doing them simultaneously! You haven’t truly lived until you’ve started at a wall for 20 minutes during despair breakfast
Boot up
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.
I’m sorry, that sounds horrible. 🫂
Solidarity fist bump.
Preparing mentally to sit and stare for 8 hours.
I need some time to review the life choices that led me to this.
3/10, do not recommend
Review complete, the next 19 minutes will be spent processing existential dread.
