This title is meaningless

I've been super depressed for several days now, and there doesn't seem to be a reason for it. Sometimes this happens and I just have to wait it out. It feels like I'm just drifting through life alone, not really doing anything while everyone else actually lives their lives and have people around them they're actually close to. I don't feel close to anyone any more, which might be a good thing as usually I get way too attached when it's not reciprocated. I do have to accept that I'll just be alone for the rest of my life though, which will hopefully make it easier to deal with.

I'm not sure why anyone would read this depressed rambling. I'm not actively suicidal right now, just immensely abnormal and broken. Sorry for taking up your time.

First of all, don't apologize for the symptoms of your illness. Ever. Okay? Secondly, ignore the haters like @Levenrack who don't understand how depression works. But third? Please, my friend, seek counseling. It's not always easy to find, but it's worth it if you do.

@LordShadowfire Yeah sorry I went "toughlove" on him. But he needs to make a move and coddling him will do nothing. But your right... I don't know jack shit about depression.

@Levenrack I can tell you that with depression, sometimes that works, and sometimes it backfires.

@Levenrack he knows more than you, clearly.

@basilfawlty89 Indeed..Very big of you to point it out. Clearly

basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M

@Levenrack I know. You're welcome.

@LordShadowfire so far counselling has been extremely hard to find and even more expensive. In NZ you get 3 free sessions with a doctor's referral, which isn't enough

@Levenrack I could have gone with gentler language, but it did feel like you were being harsh on him.

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@KiwiDan Wow. A whole three sessions. How generous. That's not even enough to figure out the problem, let alone work on a solution. What are they thinking?

@KiwiDan have you looked at virtual consults? Here in SA, a lot of therapists offer it since Covid.

Levenrack · 46-50, M

@LordShadowfire yeah I know.. I personally apologized 😑
