  • still, you managed to create the strenght to have hope, patience and stick to the treatment even if you may have felt tired, anxious and unwilling to keep fighting.

    imagine a car squeezing out every last drop of gas (wrong gas!) until reaching the next station. normally, cars wouldn’t even be able to move. yet you are doing it!

    many people (maybe you among them for now) can’t realize about such a feat, but… holy s*it.


  • yeah. even with crippling depression, they are managing to create their own strength to fight and do stuff.

    also, i think it’s wiser and smarter to focus on one important thing now, than getting anxious about not doing 173927 things, trying to do them and failing, and feeling even worse. (anyway, healthy people can’t do many things either, but they don’t feel so guilty/worthless, those are more depression symptoms).

    also, we are talking about depression, which is downplayed and misunderstood most of the time. aboulia, anhedonia, apathy and avolition are horrible yet invisible symptoms. someday science will be able to measure them and show people how disabling they are, and realize the amazing merit of people unadvertly fighting them everyday.

    because the lemmitor is fighting against it, and sharing it with us. that is so nice. i think things will get better for them. even if they may think it’s not much, many of us know it’s a lot, bc we know how depression works. the ‘achievement curve’ may look slow or plane for now to them, but we know it’s not: it’s going higher every day it passes.

    so keep on, pal! 💪
