Intense depression

gare

I'm experiencing some intense depression. Just about as bad as it gets for me. I cycle really fast, so it will likely be better in a day or so. I would love to check into a mental hospital but it's not at all necessary. I just want to be in a place where I can surender to the sadness and yet feel safe. I also enjoy the way staff members treat me at mental hospitals. They tend to be the most understanding people. There's also a feeling of shared pain I get from being around the other patients.

This illness blows. I hope you’ll feel better in the coming days. What a time to be depressed! Already you feel isolated then this covid19 business forces you to isolate even more!

I hear you on the hospital. To just give in, know you are safe from everyone including yourself, everyone there understands what you are going through and there is a level of acceptance that you don't find out in the normal world.

I hear and understand you on the depression.

I understand. Comfort is comfort, no matter where it's found.

Are you starting to feel a bit better today? Hope you're hanging in there.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
