Been a shit week tbh. Depression is kicking my ass (again), I still haven’t gotten a job after literal months of applying, I haven’t seen any of my friends in months, and I’m losing my health insurance soon. Feels like nothing in my life is going well right now 🫠

Hey bud, sorry you're having a shitty week. Things will get better in time, but you've just gotta wade through all the shit to get there. Things do have a way of working themselves out somehow. You'll figure out a better path when it comes along.

It really does help to visit friends, even if just for a little bit. If you can't visit in person hop on a discord call and play video games. Something's better than nothing, and being isolated can get addicting and easy to fall into. It's okay to ask for help too. Sometimes friends who are busy will make time for you if you reach out and explain that you're in a rough spot.

I hope next week will be better. Give yourself some grace in the meantime 💜
