I’ve been watching a lot of downer sci fi

Movies: one left behind

Birdbox etc ; it’s gotten into my head making me feel hopeless. The news too. Anyone out there who suffer from anxiety and depression

Don’t do this.

Birdbox was a bad movie to watch when depressed. Sorry you got caught up in it. And One left behind.

What about a comedy? I watch Friends reruns to cheer me up and it works every time. I get a good gut laugh every night.

I love your porcupyne name. Have book of poetry to uplift you called porcupine. I will find the title next time I write.
