On another recent post I listed my “official” diagnoses..

“Severe depression” is another but more (relatively) recent

Having endured ongoing severe depression for so long ... and I do try to make “progress” ... is one of the reasons I have a lot of empathy for others who are suffering (whether or not I “like” them or more specifically their “behaviours” )... those who know me long term know i had plenty of empathy before the depression became more severe (and at the same time I became allergic to the meds which had helped before and to all meds I’ve tried except for benzos)

I tried to give up the wine with my salmon... but I’ve found its one of the few things which helps me stay (relatively) sane

Yay
