it’s interesting you think your depression is like a grey bubble. i feel like mine is more of a blanket i find comfort in sometimes and other times i find that it suffocates me and i want out. i just got out of a depressive episode and the only piece of “advice” i can give is to say that you’re NOT alone. it’s easy to forget that you’re loved or that someone thinks of you and smiles at the thought of you but it’s true, i’m sure, seeing as how i’m a mere subscriber and i can’t help but write this to you. i hope that you’ve people that can be a kind listening ear for you and that their presence can bring you comfort. if you’ve them, then please reach out and if you don’t then make them, which i think you already have in a way with your writing. even through the hardest days brushing your teeth, making your bed and sitting by the window where the sunlight hits can make all the difference. take care of yourself because you deserve to be cared for. sending so much love your way💗💗
Adina, go and talk to some homeless people during the day, in a public space. A lot of those people suffer from anxiety and will most probably be sympathetic.
You need to get out and talk to people. Social isolation is really bad for your mental health. People are social animals. We need to communicate with other humans.
My daughter is suffering from depressive psychosis. I get cross with her because she doesn't help break the cycle of depression, by getting a voluntary job, in a charity shop, just to get her out and about and talking to people.
unfortunately i am housebound due to physical health conditions so getting out is not a possibility for me, i do think you’re correct in that is a big part of it all really.
That's the spirit. Chin up and always look on the bright side. Always take the positives from any situation. Hopefully, our little text conversation has put a smile on your face.

and there are a lot of really cool remote resources of all types of folks :) maybe look into the Trevor project or even looking up a crisis line—they’re there to listen, hear you out, and help when they can. we’re here for you, and this community sees you 🫂♥️

thank you for commenting
Then you need to invite people over for a chat and a cuppa and biscuit. Get in the habit of talking to people again. It will help.
thank you i will 🙂
