Depression, general sadness 

Been feeling really down about myself and about things in general lately...

I don't feel like I belong anywhere, or deserve to know or talk with anybody...

Bringing myself to work on anything has been almost impossible... I always feel like I should be doing something else, or I feel I shouldn't try working on anything because it won't be good enough to matter...

@Jessiscah@mastodon.social @Xkeeper Content warnings just become "Read More" links, then, which makes reading toots require additional effort/input from users. Don't know whether that's an inherently good or bad thing, though.

I do feel like using a tag that seems like it could be legitimately used for content warnings and hiding "lol" or somesuch behind it trivializes content warnings in general, though, and I wish things like that would be kept to a minimum...

Over-abuse of the content-warning system, and useless tagging, makes it pretty worthless imo. The whole point is to say "hey, this has _________". Improperly tagging or just using it inappropriately for laughs makes it difficult to tell when a CW is hiding some bland take versus when a CW actually has a legitimate meaning.
