How to make a month go by as fast as possible other than sleeping
I'm having some personal issues causing some severe depression and anxiety. I'd like to get past this time as fast as possible, and my days are dragging on. I can't sleep, which would be a good way to make time go fast. But I also can't just play video games, I don't have the motivation to play more than a few minutes and it also just makes me realize how alone I am with no friends or anyone I can connect with emotionally and I spiral into my anxiety and depression.
I can do stuff during the day, run, chores, etc. But as soon as I'm done, especially at night, I start freaking out and it seems like time stands still. Does anyone have any suggestions? Activities I can do that are mindless that will just kill time and get me through the night before I can just go to sleep?
I know this question is stupid but I'm looking for at least somewhat serious answers.
I think it's generally agreed that repeated experiences are a good way of making time pass faster: your brain recognises a situation and says "I'm not needed here; I'll fast-forward to something more challenging". Binge TV you've already seen. When I was in your situation I listened to a lot of radio plays, audio books and podcast series.
Do keep running and exercising. Can you ride a bike? Building up some familiar routes might help pass the time in a healthy way.
I am sorry to hear that you're feeling low. It's the new epidemic. Hang in there and I do hope life gets more enjoyable in time.
