I was there, October and November pretty sure I was in a depressive slump. I've never experienced anything like that before and I sure don't want to go back to it.
December however, it's been pretty good. Started on this Bluesky place. Lots of engagement and interactions.
Working on it. I keep pushing myself to go out and engage as much as I can. Watching my parents disintegrate taught me when you stop moving you start dying.
Hey You☝️Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! This wasn't directly toward me, making it even better that someone acknowledges people everywhere having a tough time of things, including myself. Bless you
I had knee replacement surgery in Sept. Depression, fear, pain, etc. I was in so much pain for about 3 weeks that I could not stop sobbing. Said to my PT, I don’t think I can live w/ this pain. Scared me. I stopped everything/one in my life. I was the priority. Say no. Say yes to u, give grace to u.
Challenges are opportunities for growth and transformation. You have the power to decide how you perceive the situation you’re in. Look for the tiny seed of positive. It’s always there and soon you will come to the other side. Just keep going. https://www.livebytherule.com
Trying I promise, giving up one trip to hopefully get well enough for the other one in a week, so as counter intuitive as it sounds I'm home alone till the 24th, hurts missing and the depression goes up and down so I'm down now for valid reasons but hopefully I get there
It could be that the majority of people in the West are depressed. I don't see people smiling or families laughing out loud in public anymore. According to statistics, mental health is on the rise. People don't have any money because their respective government wants to keep them down.
Mental illness is up according to the stats and anecdotally but I see happy ppl almost every day and families having fun on a regular basis. I am mentally ill but that has been a problem for 23 years not the fault of Trump at all or even Trudeau.
Idk, twins on the way, getting evicted for Christmas because we were being forced to buy trailer, or move since corporate owners want a lot more $ and we can't get a loan despite having good credit, and already paying equal to what id pay for loan/lot for the last 11 yrs. Trump exacerbates the hell.
