Getting back to yourself after depression or being knocked for a loop takes time. Remember: you can just stop anything you start, whenever and pick up whenever. Yes, even halfway through.

Depressed/struggling
I am really struggling. I have a sink full of half washed dishes and am unable to complete (or really start) anything of any kind of hobby. The idiots online are outweighing the couple of chill friends I have and one of them has actually got fed up and dipped, deleting their posts. IRL I’m surrounded by unstable dipshits. I no longer have the energy to draw. Medication doesn’t help me (resistant) so all I can really do is keep pointlessly slogging on.

I don’t think there will be a ‘back’. I’ve tried everything for decades and nothing has worked. Just some days I can white knuckle it more convincingly than others. That’s all.

Do the dishes tomorrow. They can wait.
Log off and ignore the stupids. It’s hard but worth it.
Give melbcat a hug.
Give yourself a hug.
Find something comforting to watch or listen to and just sail of mentally.
You got this.

Thanks. I’m just plowing through them quickly so I have clean dishes (cutlery went in the machine because no way) and will be buying more disposables.
The problem is logging off from the stupids leaves me with emptiness and the stupids here.
I’m feeding and medicating Melbcat and will probably have to just Restavit the crap out of myself tonight to get some sleep.

The emptiness can be filled. Just need other distractions. It’s not easy for sure.
So what’s best for yourself.
We appreciate you.

Thanks. I’ll do my best
