Hang in there!

Just because your depressed right now doesn't mean you'll always be depressed. The Book Feeling Good is a very well written book about thinking distortions. We tend to base how we feel about things into thinking. The book was found to be as effective as taking antidepressants. It's like the number one of all time. Don't beat yourself up because you're on this website. You're a hero and an active DUer! Also Alcohol and drugs don't help much as well. I do have a friend though that micro doses mushrooms every day and it does help him. Sleeping 8 hours day , going for walks , and being kind to yourself also help. In the book you will get very good feel for how the human mind tricks itself into feeling worse about things than they really are. I also found an app for your phone called WYSA. you can tell an AI Bot your problems and it offers suggestions.

Hope I'm helping you
