π₯Libido vs π Mortido. What drives you?
In classic psychoanalysis, there are two opposing forces:
π± Libido from Latin libΔ«dΕ = desire, longing, drive.This is your life energy: your urge to connect, create, feel pleasure, grow.It fuels sex, art, relationships, joy and aliveness itself.
π Mortido from Latin mors = death.
This is the destructive pull: inward aggression, apathy, shutdown, withdrawal.
It shows up in depression, self-sabotage, burnout, addiction.
These energies live inside all of us.
Theyβre not βgoodβ or βbadβ but how we channel them matters.
Feeling βlow libidoβ?
It might not be hormonal - it could be mortido taking the wheel.
β’ Constant hustle without rest? Thatβs libido pushed into burnout - which flips into mortido.
β’ Reconnecting to your desires, body, and pleasure activates libido and brings life back in.
The body wants to feel alive.
But when we suppress emotion, avoid intimacy, or carry unprocessed pain mortido grows quietly in the dark.
π Want to bring libido back?
β Move your body (yes, even for 5 minutes)
β Dance, scream, cry, shake - let the emotion go
β Say something youβve been afraid to say
β Touch yourself like someone who deserves pleasure
β Be wildly honest with someone you trust
