Welcome back.

It IS nice to see you again, but I'm very sad to see that you're still struggling....perhaps your general mood comes down to the c-PTSD? I am fighting c-PTSD as well, and the result is me always feeling like you described. I feel hopeless for the future. The word "depressed" feels like an understatement to me, really.

Personally, I avoid watching the news or reading the paper ~ because if I don't, I always become super-depressed. So, I am pretty unaware of what's happening in our current world. Somehow, I keep getting clips of terrible news happening over and over, so it's a good thing that I don't seek out even more terrible stories. I can't handle it! Probably a bad attitude to have, but my T recommended it to me & I've stuck with it ever since.

Gentle hugs sent your way ~ you are in my thoughts.
