how do I figure out how to get out of this horrible down cycle? I've lost all inspiration to write, I'm stuck with just my thoughts on my king size island meant two.

I'm so sorry you're finding yourself in a down cycle. Do you feel depressed, or stuck in a rut? Both? I'm not sure what you mean by "king size island meant two."

I've tried therapy, I tried meds (which I am still taking) I tried support groups, hanging out with friends more. I don't know what else to do

Traveling is not too practical right now with Covid.

I find I would go crazy if I didn't have my work. Have you tried hobbies or volunteering? I wonder if boredom is part of the problem.

guys I feel I've exhausted all my resources. I haven't had a friend in literally 16 years. Except of course my spouse. My mom saw how depressed I've become and talked to her friends and I was invited in. The group is very exclusive. Part of me wants to say hard pass, but the other part would really like a friend. I bought a guitar, hopefully I can learn to play it. See I am trying. it's just not working. I can only fake it for so long. Is my dads abuse from years past? Was it the fact that in the 80s and 90s I was raised by two women (back then being gay was bad)i was teased to no end. I still call myself by those horrible names. I figured if I use against myself. It won't hurt when others say things.
thank you all for you help

I understand needing a friend.

You say you're taking medication. Do they seem to be working?
