Depression mainly. Confusion.

in reply to Noquarter

Depression is my issue as well. It's really hard to deal with. We will support you where we can.

Yes it can be debilitating. Although we have to navigate it daily.

I use to have anxiety issues. Those have gotten better but I think it’s because things are shut down. Depression has hit me hard the last couple of years though.

in reply to Noquarter

Yes, current situation is definitely not helping matters. I am bummed that I can't go to my gym (I love to exercise) and do other things. We all just have to make the best from what we have right now. Do you have a hobby? I cross-stitch and read. Lots of people where I live go running and walking as well.

No real hobbies to talk of. I work a lot but am building a business so I don’t really mind.

in reply to Noquarter

That's neat. I'm sure that keeps you busy.

I wished it was cold here. In USA.

in reply to Noquarter

Well we will swap then you come live here lol 🤣🤣 yes depression plays havoc with memory and confusion and if you're on any meds for depression or anxiety they can make you even more hazy I find.

Yes I am on meds. Taken seemingly everything except benzos. Nothing seems to do the trick. Takes the edge off. That’s where it stops.

in reply to Noquarter

Yes unfortunately it's down to youreself to do the hard bit meds only "assist" you as you prob already know. Benzos hhhmmmm extremely addictive plays about with you're mood big time wouldn't recommend them they just cause more probs and make you even more hazy and forgetful.

The people. 😂 🤣🤣🤣

in reply to Noquarter

Lol yeh people are strange arent they 🤣🤣

Noquarter in reply to Noquarter

I think no matter where you live things always seem better elsewhere. I see all the beautiful pictures of other places and think how nice it is. The US is beautiful too though. Human nature I believe. We don’t like letting ourselves be happy.

in reply to Noquarter

Yeh I know this is so true "the grass is greener " and so on . I suppose it's learning to cherish what you have and if you're not satisfied with what you have trying to build on that

Seems as though I live life from the side lines. Just a spectator.
