Trying to spur myself for decent cooking so I might enjoy my food a bit more is just not happening. It's a depressing loop. House and everything slides, which is more depressing. Then there's also times of profound sadness and grief. Self talking myself over and over that's ok, I'm ok. Even though I'm really not. But you have to try and fight it w/ something, so some reason, that I don't even know anymore.

    It’s like an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion. It’s like standing at the top of a spiral staircase, knowing there is only one way to go; down. It’s like being in a forest of dark pines, not knowing which way is out. It’s like never wanting to be a burden but knowing you are. It’s like being at the bottom of a well, looking up at a tiny patch of sky, feeling that you will never be in the light again, ever. It’s like hearing speech all around you but not understanding a word. It’s like standing on a cliff top, knowing logically that you can’t fly but wanting to jump anyway. It’s like the very worst feelings of guilt you have known, multiplied x 50. Its like feeling that no matter how much you cry, your tears will never end.

    My mom and I's depression kind of works a little like this. Her depressionn causes her to clean and shower, a lot. When I was really depressed, I couldn't even brush my hair. I just layed in bed all day and watched memes to try and feel something. Though my mom is considerate and understands that everyone feels different, so she was never on top of me about it, but so many other people are. I recommend while playing games, have sunlight coming in and listen to some good happy music. That's what keeps me in a good mood when something stressful is going on. If that's not your thing, if it's affordable for you, you should try some form of therapy. I wish you all the luck!!

    Actually, it can "switch off." I was clinically depressed for many years, no amount of meds or talking therapies worked. I had lost all hope of life ever being different. Then one day it lifted. Just...went. I remember telling my doctor and seeing him looking worried. Probably thought, "oh shit, a crash is coming." But it never did. I've been blue in the years since, but never depressed. One day I was reading a book, an autobiography, I think it was Peter Ustinovs though I may be wrong, and he described the same thing happening to him. I can't explain it and I know it's not common. But it happened. Hang in there guys.

    'absence of other emotions'.....this hit home for me. I don't know what to call it or if it is weird or not but all I feel is numb nowadays. These past years have been like a losing battle and idk why but this year in particular....takes a lot tbh to find some good days in the midst of all the darkness
