I wonder how many of our mental and physical chronic diseases are attributable in part to spending way too much time inside.

I’ve been tracking alcohol and weed consumption, exercise, time outside, time with friends, diet, sleep, etc, and I can say with pretty high certainty that time outside and time with community are the two biggest factors for my sense of well-being.

I’ll sometimes start to feel anxious or depressed in the afternoon, and when I do it’s always a day I spent most of my time inside.

Worse if I was inside all day and didn’t see any friends.

How much of ADHD is explained by expecting kids / adults to be totally cool sitting inside all day and barely exercising?

I suspect most of it.

Anyway, hi from Mexico!
