i know this was a lot, so if youre still reading i appreciate it. i dont know exactly what im asking for, i just genuinely dont have anyone to talk to so any support or advice would really mean so much to me.

thank you
Hi nyancola,

I also used to be depressed for many years, and what you say above is familiar to me. I have something for you to try that has been a HUGE help for me and has worked for other too. It's easy to try and fun. See the notes here
