I think my problem is actually doing something in the first place. I just spend my days going to the same websites over and over, playing the same games, same music, all before I go to work in the evening/nights. Feels like I'm just wasting my life *Shrug*

Sounds like you need to change your habits. Doing something 30 times leads to a change of habit.
So go for a walk outside for 30 minutes and see how many birds you see that fly and are free. Do this for 30 days.
Birds are amazing.

LOL. In the mid 1980's I worked in the tax office in Centerpoint Tower in the heart of Sydney. The lowest three floors was a major retail center.
For a period we'd get evacuation orders because someone had called in a bomb thread. Means the shops were closed down and we all got to spend a few hours relaxing in Hyde Park.
This happened for once or twice each month for 6 months before they tracked the tax office employee doing it.
Wouldn't take that long these days.

I've done it before and given we are not designed to be nocturnal it fucks with you both physically and mentally IMO.
Not surprised you spend your days doing the same shit, a lot of night workers do.

Save one from a shelter. Save a life and know that when you get home you'll have your best friend there excited af to see you. It's what gets me through any bad day. Knowing that in a few minutes I'll have surrounded with unconditionally love and affection.

I grew up with dogs and a cat as pets as a kid, so always wanted one, but all my adult life, living in sharehouses with mates, and then buying a unit, it was just never suitable. In the end, GF drove the decision to just do it (at first, i really didn't want to have a dog that was unit bound unless out with us, i also did not want a "small" dog), best decision ever.

It's been awesome in getting me to exercise again more frequently, taking him for walks morning and evening most days. When I really can't be bothered, I feel bad if he doesn't get to go for a run, so will do it anyway, and always feel better for it.

Actually amazing how much of a general mood improvement it is to start off the day with a morning walk. Fresh air, etc. REALLY good in the afternoons after work, leave phone at home, and either go for a jog, or go to the dog park and just sit back and clear the head.

A bit off topic, but I do all my exercise in the arvo/night.  Literally have to get out of bed and go straight to work within 5 minutes.  If I do anything at all I can't be fucked and usually take the day off.
