This was beautiful, thank you for sharing it. I did not have "Feeling less alone because an internet stranger shared a Henry Rollins quote on Lemmy" on my agenda this evening, but here we are.
That's something that helped me cope with a lot of things: realising I am not alone. I've also made it a point of trying to share that same comfort with others. If you struggle to get up, not because you're tired but because your brain refuses to comply, because Why bother? What even is the point of getting up?, know that someone somewhere is fighting that same struggle right now.
Someone else just won it (for today, at least), and picked themselves up, because doing something at all is better than letting defeatism and apathy paralyse you. You can do the same. You can muster the strength, and by that strength, may set an example for someone else. They don't need to know you, just the thought that you exist, that you share their struggle, that you overcame it and they can too.
