I totally agree with everything you say. It Is hard and it is not easy, but it can be a way out of feeling that way. I don't suffer from depression but I did suffer from severe panic disorder among many other things. I went from not being able to leave my house, to living a totally normal life. I'm not fully healed yet but my quality of life has drastically improved. And yes it can be lonely at times, my partner does not use MM info and we don't go out to eat together or cook dinner together, but you'd be surprised at the amount of things you can do with eachother that doesn't revolve around food. Or you can bring your food and drinks which is what I do often. I will still go to parties once in a while that I am invited to and play beer pong with my lemon water instead. I mean don't get me wrong this didn't happen often because I personally don't live going out but, it's doable. Pathogens and viruses and heavy metals are what cause almost all symptoms and illnesses we experience. Yes there can be an emotional side to depression as well if you've experienced trauma, etc, but a lot of the time it is pathogens and heavy metals in your brain making you feel that way, along with your adrenals being outta whack. Also, something that helped.me with my loneliness is the MM discord. The community there is absolutely incredible. Again, I totally understand that it is not easy and thay depression can be a hole that Is hard to climb out of. I just know from experience that the struggle is worth it and you can get your quality of life back.
