This is what my severe, lifelong, treatment-resistant major depressive disorder is like right now

I'm not okay, but don't worry.

I’m not even going to put in a photo for this one. I don’t have the energy for it. I’ll manage to get some of those subscribe buttons in, as well as a paywall for my patient paid subscribers, but I just can barely manage to do anything right now. This app makes it easy to do all of those things. Depression is such a horribly boring mental illness, but it affects me worse than any of my others.

And no, nothing bad happened to trigger it, except the same kind of stuff that’s bad for all of us — the state of the world, politics, the rise of fascism, and more. However, trigger warning: some references to suicidal ideation and self-harm, but no worries: I am therapized, supported, and motivated. I am not in any active danger.
