New level of depression unlocked. It's just gonna be a thing for the duration of my life.

The most helpful thing a counsellor ever said to me was “Is it any wonder that you feel the way you do?” She didn’t try to fix me but justified my right to be depressed.

Feel you. I sometimes wonder if I even give a fuck, when I know I do, but I'm left with a world so blind it wants to stoke war, leave nothing for our children - or more innocent, any biodiversity. Sometimes I want to stand as a frog, bird, or a salamander, in front of those who are killing our chances of living. There's a thousand reasons to be depressed.. and your kid will see you as sensitive and teaching of why to be caring and love even when it hurts.
