That's the fun part! We don't!

Literally, I am so stressed out every minute of every day that I genuinely think I have gone mad.

    During Covid, I started playing the guitar, and really got into it, and over 5 years later, I've gotten pretty good.

    The biggest revelation was how much better I felt. I realized that I had been operating under a low grade depression for my entire life, I just never knew it, because it was my baseline feeling, for my entire life.

    Now that I figured that out, I'm back to being depressed, because other than the guitar, all the other terrible shit is still in my life. Plus MAGA.

    But at least I KNOW I'm depressed, so I got that going for me.

    I'm very happy for you, or rather I hope you get better.

    As for me, I've known I was depressed since I was about 13. The shitty part is I thought it was mental illness at first. But decades later, with a wife I love, I have finally achieved feeling worse than ever.
