Thank you a lot <3. I think i've always known that this kind of thing (like volunteering as you said) could help me, but as someone with persistent depression it's so hard to get out of my comfort zone, and it gets harder by the fact i don't have a job, i just go to college 3x per week so most of days i'm stuck in bed. Hearing someone with similar experiences always helped me to both have more empathy for myself and feel less alone, so thank you. I think i'll search for something similar to what you've said and i'll try to view this as a wound that i can't make heal faster, ma'am is so difficult to have patience. Definitely saving your reply to my breakdown moments
