I think depression has just gone way up for a LOT of us. I recently took a week off because I just couldnt get out of bed. I was diagnosed with depression as a teen, but what Ive been experiencing mentally, particularly the last two months, is so much worse than anything I experienced as a teen. This stuff is real not to be taken lightly.
Just remember it will get better. Those bad feelings go away, and the skies will clear. They always do.

Yeah, I tried thosw during my college days. Certainly fun but you gotta worry about your state of mind. Not sure Id want to go into rhat and have a terrible experience because subconcious isnt right.

Im definitely the "suck it up Buttercup" type, but its like you say...its not as simple as folks who havent had it think. If it were, people wouldnt simply sit and feel like this, theyd chose to flip that proverbial switch.

Im exercising and trying to get as much sunshine as possible. Anyone else out there going through the same I definitely recommend it. It doesnt fix things but it does help and makes the days easier.
The people successfully using psilocybin to treat depression are micro-dosing it. They take a very small amount so they aren't actually tripping, just slightly altering their internal balance.

Either way, I'm firmly convinced that exercise and talking to someone sympathetic to your situation are the absolute best way things you can do.

Yeah you think paying the guy in charge of Kentucky's technology systems (CIO). $375,000/year it would have been upgraded.
The average salary for a state CIO is $150,000 The Gov makes $145,000.yr.

Maybe he's being paid that to hide things and keep the relief money from being distributed, not fix anything that is obviously broken....?

Some assisted living and nursing home won't let people in. On KSR this morning Shannon said for the past year he has had to talk to his grandma through a window.

Or like my granny that is in assisted living. My dad just flat out won't let me. I mean I'm an adult I could just go and not tell him, but I'm respecting his wishes.

In some ways I'm glad my grandparents (old age) and step-dad (cancer) weren't around to go through all this Covid crap. It would have made for a miserable/more miserable end to their lives.
