It's 12:45 PM Moscow time. What's your story? What's your timezone?

Are you on the US west coast, staying up just a little past your bedtime?

Perhaps you're a Midwestern American with chronic insomnia?

Are you on the US east coast and you wake up super early like some kind of freak?

Maybe you're a Brit who's just had some tea and crumpets in the morning? (Are crumpets a breakfast thing?)

Or are you a Russian disinformation agent on their lunch break?

    Because I'm unemployed with nigh zero relevant skills to get a job. It's 2 AM and I just woke up 2 hours ago; I've completely fucked my sleep schedule in the last week. I'm living with my parents who want me to just sit about the house all day until COVID blows over. So I've been sitting about the house all day for the last 6 months in a depressed, maddened state because I have nigh nothing to do but sit on my ass until shit changes in the outside world. I have ADHD to the point where I can do next to nothing productive on a computer and no real creative talent that I can sell for money. I've just been... stuck in life and I have no idea how to move on at this point or what to even do with my time anymore

      This is going to sound a bit silly, but it seems there's decent-ish money in doing commission work for Live2D characters / animations. Not many people know how to do it, there's tons of demand for V-Tuber characters / other 2D animation right now, and there's not too steep of a learning curve. Inhouse / contract work starts out at like $15 an hour. I could get you a cheap drawing tablet you want to give it or just drawing on a PC a try.

    I stay up because it's the only time I have peace from my shitty parents

        No I'm in maple syrup genocidal country. I do but I get a lot of anxiety being around them because deep down they don't care about me. This is the only time I can pretend they don't exist and it feels calming.

    I woke up at Midnight, EST- wow i didn't realize I could fumble so hard as to accidentally post a in progress message, let me edit this to finish what I was saying.

    Anyway I woke up at Midnight EST because I'm a very mentally ill NEET who can't keep a consistent sleep schedule. I just sorta continually wake up 1-2 hours later than I did the day before, forever, so over the course of the week I usually make a full rotation at least once.

    Since I've been working from home my day is done at like 2 or 3. I'll drink a couple of tall cans and I'm in bed when it gets dark. I usually wake up around 1 or 2 in the morning and start read or listen to a podcast in bed. Quite enjoyable actually.
