Thanks for being supportive.

If it is any consolation, things aren't as bad as I make it out to be. My life is technically speaking (from 3rd person POV) the best it has ever been. I have landed my dream job with a really amazing team. I have group of really supportive friends in the city where my job is. I stay far-away from family, but my brother is literally the best emotional support anyone could ever wish for.

This Monday, I will at least try and give one of our university counselors a visit, while I still have free university care. I have tried twice and bailed on it. Maybe 3rd time's the charm.

Lastly, sorry for venting out on the platform here. It's not your baggage.



I can definitely resonate with downplaying depression because by all other metrics you lead a successful life and are surrounded by people who love you. Unfortunately depression don't give a shit about any of that. Hopefully you're able to follow through on your visit today. Best of luck!


Thanks.

The brain certainly works in mysterious ways. It is like fighting with yourself.
