You nailed it. I have depression… it totally steals your joy from your life.

It reminds me of this beautiful spoken word by Sabrina Benaim, and this quote that stuck with me : "it’s just not that much fun having fun when you don’t wanna have fun".
So many times I’ve felt this, like I should be enjoying myself but I just couldn’t

Reading that quote, was like a little brain massage. Thank you! Even with depression, it still feels hella good to be validated. In my personal experience, it’s the best way to try to help someone experiencing a deep depression.

That and a crippling addiction to drugs

Also, coming from experience on this one… when you have depression, kicking any substance is excruciatingly difficult. Finally… you have anything, that makes you FEEL SOMETHING! But now you have to stop, because it’s killing you and everyone is sick of your shit. Now you’re even more isolated, and depression is worse than ever. It’s certainly possible to stop it, I have… but I will never blame her. Just feels too personal.

Thank you, it’s okay though. Like with any chronic condition, you learn to (or try to) adapt. With me, it comes and goes. I’m not sure about Amy’s, but my heart goes out to her. I hope she is resting in perfect peace. 💝
