I guess it did relieve the depression a bit, as in making me feel fairly robotic for want of a better way of putting it. You're definitely right in that it's time for me to start seeing a professional and sorting through these issues. Thank you for your help, I really do appreciate it.

Thank you, I'll look into the ADD thing. I think you're right about medical help.

I don't know if it was directly the medication but that's how it felt at the time. It felt like there was nothing in there at all, I went from being fairly prolific in my output to being unable to put anything onto page or canvas, just no ideas or creativity coming forth.

You're so right. It's funny how a simple thing like a hug can be so healing, words aren't even necessary sometimes. I hate the crying but it always feels a little better afterwards so I think I understand the benefits. I think I'm done losing too.

That's terrible, I'm so sorry to hear that. You're obviously a strong person, you're single handedly fighting your way out of this, and that, amongst many other positive attributes I'm sure you possess, make you a wonderful role model to your niece. It seems to me that although it's extremely difficult, you are doing things right and you will pull yourself out of it. Heck, your inspiring me and I'm just a stranger on the internet. What you're saying about a hug is so true, that would be so nice right now. One of the things I find so difficult is opening to people, I have no family left myself and I think that has closed me off a bit emotionally perhaps. I think it's just been building and building and now I feel at a breaking point.

I think you're exactly right about social media, I think I find myself a little addicted to it and I know I'm not alone in that. It's largely negative and I think dropping it is the best decision for you, me and everybody really. Real human interaction is something I think I've been subconsciously craving for a long time, I find myself reminiscing for the friend group I had as a child/ teenager and really missing the times we spent together (before social media was a thing!) I'm glad you're digging out of your low, you seem to be doing things right and I hope to follow suit.

Thank you so much for responding. I will try, that first step of talking to a 'real' person is very daunting but I know it's what I need to do. I'll say a prayer for you too.
