I'm sorry @lizardlady ...

I don't think there is a way to defeat the depression ...

I just ride with it until it eases off, but sometimes that takes a bit longer than other times.

Being out in nature seems to help a little bit, or even just riding around listening to music ...

Dirt roads seem to be especially useful for me somehow.

Sometimes it scares the 🤬 out of me how morose I feel ...

It can be extremely isolating and lonely when nobody seems to understand or care.

I wish I had words of wisdom to offer on how to deal with it better but I don't ...

Well, except to cuss a lot ... I do find that to be very helpful!

But only when out of earshot of others ...

Unless they have it coming of course!
