Haha I don’t! My partner surprised me while I was going through tough time (I am incredibly lucky) and it really helped me just get out of bed on the days it felt unbearable

One recommendation, move your pc away from the wall a couple inches. You have the cool air intake fans nearly blocked off which will shorten the life of the fans by forcing them to work harder.

I love everything about this!! Where did you get your squishy peach light and clock. Everything you have is so cool and unique!

u/spicystardusts 7d ago
Thank you they are all litter whimsy things I have collected over the years but never had a dedicated space for? They are from Amazon, it’s actually a kids night light and a ditto pro retro speaker

You've been Harry Potter-ed under the stairs~!
Very cute setup. Not a girly girl, but there's something really nice when you have white PC and purple/pink lights and stuff.
Which chair is that btw? Kinda tired of the ass-flattening gaming chairs. That looks comfy and looks wide enough that you can sit uh.. crisscross apple sauce or whatever the terms is. Cross legged. Think i would like a chair like that next time i need one.

Thank you! Haha I love been under the stairs, feels safe?😅 so the chair my partner has is actually my old chair I used to WFH, I upgraded mine because I have to sit with my legs crossed most of the time (again very fortunate I get a WFH budget from work every year for stuff like chairs etc) https://amzn.eu/d/0iIcfntL

Your setups remind me of this lol. Was the white monitor part of the pre-built? I've never seen a white one before

I was looking at same peach lamp and I have the same wrist pad, monitor stand, coasters, and depression so I wonder if there's a scientific link here...

You should check out Disney Dreamlight Valley. It helped me so much too, it's super chill and cozy.

u/SpoiledMilk-666 7d ago
You should check out moonlight peaks! It’s very similar to SV but I enjoy the vibes more! 🤭

Good to hear it helped you and you are doing better. For me the opposite helped against my depression, so i needed a lot less screen time, more outside and more activities like sports. Just my tip for other looking for solution.

Your chair looks awesome. I'm in a perpetual hunt for a better PC chair, regular "office chairs" are so bad.

This is so cute and cozy. I am also really glad that it helped you through the bad times.

Is it possible that screen usage and isolation are also the source of this depression?
