I have dysthymia so I get it. It sucks feeling like you are just in waiting mode all the time just for nothing to ever really happen, and no energy to do things you otherwise enjoy.

Ooooph yeah that waiting mode gets me too. Band added a new guy a month or two ago and we have to do practice at like 930 or 10pm cause he's got work/wife/kids, and it throws off my whole day mentally since I'm just waiting and waiting to go to the space

Feel you on that.
Winter + the grind of capitalist society just fucks over so many people. I've been putting in an effort into improving my social life over the past year and it doesn't feel like I've made a ton of progress. A lot of it is just schedules not working out, but sometimes I feel like its just me.
And I just don't know anymore. Been at this life thing for a while and all it feels is like I'm not really going anywhere.

definitely know how you feel, depression is a fuck but remember also life is a gift even when it doesn't feel like it is

The slog is real as fuck. Part of it is your brain being rude and using the depression to make you feel worse. Part of it is the very real problem of shit sucking and being difficult. So remember - you aren't making a mountain out of a molehill. But your brain still isn't making an accurate assessment. It's a helluva dichotomy and I don't have advice other than to keep up with any medication or therapy you've been doing. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. And remember that the world might kinda suck but you, personally, are loved, and this shit isn't your fault or your responsibility to solve on your own.
You should make a big pot of soup. Soup is delicious and it's practically medicinal when the weather is cold and grim.

could be worse, at least you are one of the coolest dog breeds!
Aw shucks
I flip flop. One moment exactly what's the point it's all the same dead boring shit.
Then the next I've got 5 hobbies I simply must get going on and oh where will I find the time... It's all so exciting and urgent.
Then they are all pointless again.
Thankfully feeling good at the moment but we'll see how that lasts. Probably about half way through doing one of these hobbies.
Yeah, I can relate to that. Right now, being in a band is a complete fucking pain, but next week I'll be all "YOOO WHEN ARE WE TOURING AGAIN LETS GOOO"
