I used to have to come home and lay down all night because of a fatigue illness. Now that I’m working from home I can rest more and don’t have to lay down as much.

I do it after 30 years of psych drugs and ect finally broke me.

The difference between you and the news is that you mentioned social media and the newscaster singles out Tiktok, making Tiktok look bad and possibly down playing bed rotting itself in favor of a social panic against Tiktok specifically

All my jobs are digital so I work while laying in bed. It’s fun for me but I don’t let my body rot 😂

I enjoy laying in bed all day but not bc I'm depressed it's just what I'm comfortable with and I find it more enjoyable than going out, especially with the internet and mobile games, tbh I find going out an absolute headache and I dislike it than staying on bed, I only get out of bed whenever I get food or shower, living the luxury life here, but if ur avoiding showers then it becomes an issue.

What is the psychological cause of your vocal fry?

I really need to quit drinking that's mostly my bed rot.

How do you get help?

[@stop-diego-stop]

When society stops correlating extroversion with being the “correct” way of life, that just may be when a lot of us who do work hard all day and week and then “bed rot” to cope, may feel the strength to get up and continue other things that may make us happy. I enjoy my job but being around people, even with them being very nice, for 8 hours a day is INCREDIBLY draining for me and A LOT of others, and this is just the only way I can feel better, or anything really.
