I tried medication, to no avail. That dark cloak?

I'm so sorry, but I know exactly what this feels like, so you have my empathy. Hopefully a medication will help you out. Just remember they have to be alternated every now and then. Big hugs and hope you feel better soon

True. Writing about your feelings helps. It’s liberating in a way. I hope everything goes well

@Musicman thanks mate
I really don’t feel like doing anything . Maybe I’ll try to go fishing tomorrow.
My best friend from France is coming for thanksgiving ( sort of a tradition between us . So I’ve got to clean up the house some more . It’s just feels like been flying autopilot for a while

@Julien Hopefully you can go fishing and have fun when your friend arrives too. Just anything to help lift your mood. 😊
