17 Signs You’ve Lost Your Ability to Even

We’ve all been there–that mental state where you literally just can’t do anything anymore. You can’t exist, you can’t function, you just can’t even. For some people, this might just be a few minutes or a few days; for others, this state might last a few weeks. But forever? If you can relate to a handful of these signs, then maybe, just maybe, you might have lost your ability to even.

1. You’ve stopped wearing real pants.

2. You’re all about the groutfit–or at least wearing the same pair of clothes every day.

3. You can’t remember the last time you’re brain ~properly~ functioned.

4. Also when did you last wash your hair? Who knows. 

5. You’re pretty sure you’re morphing into a couch or a blanket or a pillow or something.

6. You haven’t done any form of assigned reading since the first week of the semester.

8. You’re starting to think you have “crazy eyes.”

9. Laundry. That’s a thing. That you haven’t done. Like, ever.

10. Every time your class/work emails you, you just throw your phone to the side.


11. The amount of times you tell yourself “everything is fine!” throughout the day is a bit insane.

12. You’ve become a pro at acting super casual and laid back while you’re freaking out over literally everything.

13. Your main reaction to anything is some degree of a groan.


14. You think about shaving your legs but you would probably get sued for deforestation.


15. “Describe yourself in one word” turns out to look a lot like ?????????????


16. Any assignment/studying/paper that need to be done is handled with a long nap and constant staring at a blank page.

17. You are genuinely concerned that you are not a real person anymore, and you are in fact just a giant potato.
