Feel like a zombie? Edmontonians share tips on getting out of a rut
As the seasons change and the days get shorter and shorter, there’s no better time than now to check in on your loved ones and take stock of your own life and mental health.
In a city as far north as Edmonton, it’s especially important to take care of your mental health during the winter months and find fulfilling ways to pass the time.
One Edmontonian on Reddit has received hundreds of supportive tips and messages after writing about feeling like a “zombie” who goes to work for eight hours, sits in traffic on the way home, makes dinner, goes to bed, and then repeats the routine for five days.
Anyone else kinda feel like a zombie going to work for 8 hours, sitting in traffic on the way home, making dinner, going to bed and then repeat for 5 days or is it just me?
