Like many past days, I woke up very anxious. For some reason, when I feel anxious, the movie The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya comes to mind; the story seems to have gotten under my skin. The depiction of the character Yuki Nagato in that story affects me strongly, which I associate with the causes of the anxiety in my life, causing the scenes and the music in the story to repeat in my head. I also think about the story during positive times.

I'm really not very happy with my life, there's a strong sense of pointlessness to it, there have been some recent changes that have made me feel overwhelmed, my parents are moving out-of-town leaving me in this city in which I have no roots and want to leave alone, my car has been totalled so I must look for another, I have been dealing with obsessive fears, I have a strong tendency toward escapism, and there are things I long for in this life that I do not expect to receive. I think I really empathize and identify with Yuki Nagato's character because we find out she's going through similar things throughout the story.

All of these things seemed to hit me all at once just now causing me to cry for a little while. I continue to cry on and off.

I feel better, but tired, and my head kinda hurts (moreso on the left side).

I'm feeling a lot better now. It's currently evening time.

Hope you're feeling better, nothing wrong with a bit of escapism. I watched and enjoyed the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya but i don't think i got as much out of it as some others, is the disappearance the same or better would you say?
Tbh it was many years ago I watched the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya and I don't remember it that well :|

I need to watch that... Japanese ideals of AI proliferation are very informative as far as my thought experiments and long-term outlook are concerned.

What's AI proliferation?
Anyway, I think that the best step towards happiness is working out exactly what makes you happy, what you can accomplish when you are happy, and focus on making your top priorities a reality. I hope you will feel better, beneficii.
