This is definitely not a good time to have depression. You've got my sympathy, my friend, because anxiety and depression are horrible. One minute you're okay, the next, you feel like the whole world is slowly sinking around you and you wonder what the point is. It's not easy and I can't say that I can relate on a personal level, but I've had people close to me with these kinds of problems.

Don't even leave it as a possibility! We're just a bunch of random people on an internet music forum, but keep in touch and know that you've got people who care about you and that your life is precious.

I don't know your work situation or your financial situation so this advice may be completely useless (and far be it from me to tell you what's best in your situation), but be a little more selfish if you can. Try to make time for yourself to reconnect with friends and loved ones. Enjoy nature. Take the time out do things you enjoy for no other reason that you enjoy them. Life is a wonderful gift, even if it doesn't always seem that way.

Thanks for the kind words. Appreciate them.

If I'm a bit absent, this is why. I have been for weeks.

Sorry duder. You sound burnt out. Are you able to take any time off?

I'll be alright.

Yes, things will definitely get better. I was a bit worried because in my case isolating makes things a lot worse, I think that's pretty common. These ****ty times don't help with that either, but that will also get better of course

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline will be available by dialing ‘988’ in 2022

Until then it's 1-800-273-8255 (TALK) in case anyone needs it.

There’s a text line too

I mentioned before that I used it

I got some new meds at the pharmacy but I’m going to pick them up Monday because the crowds make me so nervous I can’t stand it. My hernia hurts all the time now which isn’t mental but definitely doesn’t help my mental.

Hope you're getting a little happiness sneaking in Exo.

Job is great! Living situation is a bit in limbo at the moment. Dumped bf at the beginning of quarantine, thinking I could make it a month or two before i got out, but we are stuck together indefinitely until I a) decide to uproot and move somewhere new, b) find somewhere affordable to live here (lol), or c) he gives up and moves out first.

I'm in a great mood. Seriously happiest I've been in a long time - and it's not mania lol. I think he finds that to be insulting but sorry bro I got un-depressed and realized the problem wasnt me *shrug*
