      You’ve had a rough go of it lately. I’m really rooting for you and hope things start looking up.

        Thanks ickplant ❤️

        I’m having that “I want to get better but what’s the point” mental trap.

        Update: I’m writing a song I need to hear

        Things fall apart the center cannot hold/ The prices They will rise and you too will get old/ The dishes always dirty, laundry never in the machine/ No matter how you try it’s never quite clean/ And I can’t do this alone No I can’t do this alone

        The world is getting warmer The world is getting dry/ The missiles on the ground are meant for the sky/ The rent is always due to pay for the mortgage/ Of a man who is a Lord who can’t even change a door hinge/ And I can’t do this alone No I can’t do this alone

        The billboards promise youth and wealth and health and love/ But that’s for the shareholders when push comes to shove/ The math is so simple the accounts balance out/ But you were never who the ads talked about/ And I can’t do this all alone No I can’t do this all alone

          I really like the lyrics, they hit hard. I think it’s beautiful that you are able to creatively express the pain you are going through. L

          If that helps at all, the point for me was the being better part. I also kept asking myself, “What’s the point?” And when I got better, the point became clear. When I’m better, I actually care about myself and what brings me joy. I was able to make meaning of things.

          To be fair, for me it took switching careers before I could feel truly OK. But first I had to get better… before I could better myself.

          Sending you all the love, Meep.

            Feeling much better today! Turns out my secret to happiness is sleep, diet, and exercise.

            Slept 9 hours, ate a good breakfast, and ran 3 miles. Life is much calmer.
