Doom Piles: (Episode 10) Nothing’s Wrong, But Also Everything’s… Meh (Ep 13)

🎙️ Episode 10

Title: “Nothing’s Wrong, But Also Everything’s… Meh”

Tagline: When you’re tired, foggy, post-dentist, and stuck in a vibe called “Ugh.”

🎵 [imaginary intro music: soft hum, a yawn, the gentle rattle of a half-empty pill organizer]

Hi. I’m Angela. Queen of Focus-ish.

And today’s episode?

Not a productivity moment.

Not a breakthrough.

This one’s about the foggy middle.

The space between “doing” and “napping,”

Between “I have so many ideas” and “what’s the point?”

Between post-dentist exhaustion and existential ‘meh.’

You ever have those days?

Where technically nothing is wrong…

But your brain is full of cotton and your heart is, like, soggy toast?

Yeah. That’s where I am.

🛋️ The Soft Couch Spiral

I had errands. I had appointments. I had intentions.

But now I’m on the couch.

Mentally listing things I could do.

Emotionally rejecting all of them.

So I made a little list of what I can do from this exact state:

• Breathe and stare at the ceiling
  
  
• Record a podcast with a blanket on my head
  
  
• Tell the squirrels to shush
  
  
• Cry a little, if that feels good
  
  
• Whisper “tomorrow counts too”
  
  

🧠 This is Still Part of the Spiral

I used to think being unfocused meant I was failing.

Now I know: it just means I’m… human.

Hormonal. Tired. Processing.

This isn’t off track.

It’s part of the spiral.

It’s the rest stop on the way to something else.

And just because I’m not jazzed up and label-making doesn’t mean I’m not doing something real right now.

🎯 Today’s Tiny Win

I didn’t skip this feeling.

I made it into an episode.

I turned “meh” into magic.

Maybe not glittery magic.

More like… cozy sock, heating pad, “I’m still here” magic.

Next episode: I label my vitamins and accidentally find a new belief system.

You never know.

Until then —

Take your meds.

Lie down if you need to.

And know that even in the “meh,”

You are still magnificent.
