I've been there and I know how much it sucks. I hope things get better for you soon.
the pain is real, but you're not alone. you have all of us.
Trust me, comrade. I was there all of last year. Took me a good minute to pick things back up. I'd like to tell you it'll get better, or easier, but I don't know that it helps in the moment. In the meantime, keep posting. We're all still here.
you on steam?
"We suffer more in imagination than in reality."
Can't remember if this is Seneca or Epictetus or whatever. But it's so true. Our fears and anxiety and depression are so much worse than that stubbed toe or broken finger or whatever. Lingers longer. But it also means that our fear that prevents us from having a conversation or introducing ourselves to that special someone or whatever also leads to us suffering more than if we just did the thing and got whatever results we got from the action.
