I haven’t looked at your responses but I hope you’ve gotten plenty that will amplify what I’m going to say: there’s nothing pathetic about this. Waking up, doing the same thing as the previous day, surviving, going to sleep, repeat... is uninspiring, and can feel soul crushing.

I even bought a shirt about it to have a memory of this time, a Nine Inch Nails shirt that just repeats the lyric “every day is exactly the same” over and over.

Anyway, what you’re feeling is normal. It’s not a good feeling, but you’re not feeling it alone.

I am curious about how you browse HN? I only see one additional comment besides yours.

Generally on my phone. I only saw a bit of the first sentence of that reply at the point I had scrolled. I was also very near going to bed so probably half awake.
