#but fyi you can be that kind of unwell/ ruminating on stuff/ doing your doomscrolling just as easily out of bed as in it

unironically iām so fucking sick of the term ābedrottingā
#iām not going to call it ableist or whatever because i donāt think it really is#i just think it shows such a profound contempt for people who canāt be āproductiveā in the ways that capitalism demands#like idk i am no longer bedbound by my disability but i still have bad days#and iām not ārottingā because i donāt look productive#rest IS productive#its just not productive to capitalists#idk like if youāre honestly in bed in a way that is making you worse off mentally: great. fine. use whatever language you want for that#but fyi you can be that kind of unwell/ ruminating on stuff/ doing your doomscrolling just as easily out of bed as in it#youāre not ābedrottingā or ācouchrottingā or whatever youāre just maladaptively taking a break from how fucking shitty the world is#and like. iām sorry about the maladaptive part of it but that doesnāt erase that its a coping mechanism#idk calling it ārottingā just feels so fucking cartoonish#you are not rotting. staying in bed and doing nothing isnāt rotting#get up and go if you can and sure you probably need healthier ways to cope#butā¦idk. donāt be so dramatic and maybe find ways to talk about maladaptive coping methods that arenāt so fucking stigmatizing#kill the capitalist in your head that says being unproductive is wrong
