Holiday blues plus I'm sick

I can't catch a break from nothing I'm going through

What's the most recent thing that has happened that has you feeling this way? Do you want to talk about it?

I'm sure you were productive and helpful to lots of people!! What has got you down?

[Darknlovely504 in reply to Humankind-BE_BOTH]

I'm sure I am and have been but they don't appreciate it. My health is the biggest issue then my financial situation and mental state

[Humankind-BE_BOTH in reply to Darknlovely504]

The trifecta of depression!!

As far as health I definitely recommend at least an hour to 90 minutes at the gym everyday if you can do it and even if you can just a half hour walk if possible. 💪💪💪

finances I've discovered find a way to resolve somehow. it's difficult and daunting and scary as hell but a surmountable problem in the long run it's the short run that's the problem. 😭😭😭

as far as mental health I promised myself as an undergraduate two decades ago that I would eventually read "meditations" by Marcus Aurelius. although written around 140 CE, it is the best self-help guide I've ever come across. It's called The emperor's handbook and several of my shall we say, continuing and at this point unable to sever toxic relationships, are receiving it as a Christmas gift. 👊🏼👊🏽👊🏻👊👊🏾🤷🏻‍♂️

I recommend reading it several times and highlighting and annotating it. you'll find that it's therapeutic.

I hope the about helps!!
