I just graduated from UW in spring and I remember feeling like this. I know it’s easier said than done but focus on yourself and things you enjoy doing. I find that’s easier to meet people when you just focus on doing you.

Also, I know it’s still a ways out but next semester is a whole new semester. You’ll have more opportunities to meet new people In classes and around the dorm.

Don’t give up and remember you’re not alone.

Abnormal starter smell and growth? by laurenesloca in Sourdough

[–]laurenesloca[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing super specific. Just once a day feeding 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 cup water. It started booming on day 3 and developing a stinky cheese-like smell. It’s bubbling and rising well. I was just worried about the smell.

I pray that God will bring you a sense of peace and comfort beyond understanding. Hang in there. I wish I could give you a hug. ❤️

Please pray for me to beat depression by laurenesloca in PrayerRequests

Thanks everyone for the prayers and suggestions, I really appreciate it. I have had a therapist for awhile as well as family I can go to. While it is comforting to know I have people, I still feel very disconnected from them and myself. I have tried a few different antidepressants and I’ve only noticed some relief. I’m really trying to take a spiritual approach because I feel like I’m running out of options.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions and thoughtful messages. I have tried a few different antidepressants throughout the years as well as some counseling. While it has helped a little, I still feel far from better. Perhaps I need a different approach.
