Title: Depression
Post by: NarcsEverywhere on May 05, 2023, 04:54:18 AM
I feel super depressed, I think this is a necessary thing to go through. I don't want to act helpless in it, but it's both relieving and scary. As many of you know, I've gone through a lot of losses of close relationships that turned out to be dysfunctional, and abusive. It's hard to accept this loss in energy and functionality, and that I am just a human being in the dumps, struggling. I am going to do some things to help, like read by book on grieving my Elisabeth Kubler Ross, that helped me through losses before. And exercise, but I am going to have to come to terms with the depression too, and probably cry a lot. It's hard as hell right now.

Another things I am going to do is try to have fun in some easy and sane ways, like watch TV, play poker on my phone, and other simple activities, that are attainable when I feel this way. And give to my pets, but it's gonna be less for a while, so I don't constantly overwhelm myself with trying to help them (and overwhelm them sometimes too!)
