The meme uses the self-sabotage metaphor to illustrate the vicious cycle of sadness leading to inactivity leading to worsening sadness
Overview
This is a 3-panel meme using the classic self-sabotaging bicycle rider template. The first panel shows a man riding a bicycle downhill while holding a long stick, with text explaining you lack motivation to do anything when you are sad. The second panel depicts the man intentionally shoving the stick into the spokes of his bicycle, with text stating that failing to complete tasks makes you even more sad. The third panel shows the man lying injured on the ground next to his crashed bicycle, illustrating the self-perpetuating, vicious downward cycle of low mood and unproductivity that feeds into itself.
