Basically title. A ton of things in life being going badly. Aside from well...the outside world, life’s just been a slog. Broke up with my significant other, lost a family member, and I got into an argument with a sibling about how I need to moderate my political views and not be so outspoken on things (just shut up and don’t try to change things). Been getting me down and I feel myself falling into depression. Just needed to get that out and I’m just wondering: How do y’all make it through these days?

    i've nearly 100% cut out twitter and reddit usage this week. i feel guilty for tuning out of protest news, esp cuz i'm in a major city, but i can't participate for reasons. i only post here and places related to my hobbies. my mental health has been much better. going offline, exercise, video games, and weed have made me feel okay. there's guilt and helplessness, but they were there already. i don't know if this will help you, maybe i'm typing it for myself, but i hope it helps. solidarity.

      Sometimes we gotta recharge , we can’t change the world by ourselves. Maybe we both need to take a break so we can come back ready for the fight ahead
