I just realised that i have been slipping in and out since 2017.
I am blessed to have never been suicidal, but the mood thing... Is a conversation on itself.
Yoh, i can continue for days.

I think that's normal. Many people have fluctuating mood states. Keep slipping out, and be aware of coping strategies/support structures that make the dips fewer and shorter.

Had a conversation with a friend, she’s in her early 20’s entry level job and the cost of living is really getting to her. There are so many social and financial expectations that are everyday just eating away and when listen, key words like I’m tired but I still have too… I was saying to her recognise that depression setting in and don’t go down without a fight. Let’s talk, let’s exercise a bit, let’s check in everyday and explore resolutions so as to not get so consumed by depression. I interact with a lot of young people fresh out of high school or varsity and the reality of the economy and job market is really giving them so much pain.

The pressures "adulting" can really overwhelm us and the expectations for those who have and those who don't are additionally exhausting. Well done on having the conversations and offering support where you can.

Tis so true there needs to be a better way to be able to verify psychologists. On my first ever session with a psychologist, he was not only unfocused through reading his body language. He fell asleep while I was speaking to him. Now when already dealing with self doubt, did my low viewing mind towards myself not think up "Even a psychologist falls asleep when I talk"...... I don't know who's picking them, these uncalled for psychologists because such issues are sensitive and there needs to be better. I think twice about suggesting psychologists to people now because now I actually wish better health for that person not worse.
