I see that you packed a box ysterday and completed it as painful as it might have been. Good. Don't pack a box today, do something else. Cut the grass again, take your dog for a walk, fix some ramen and eat it.

You are depressed, I get that. I was depressed for a long time and one day I decided I had to get in charge of myself and I started with baby steps. Doing at least one thing that was good for me every day.

Every day.

I started meditating, at first I got no benefit but it got me through another 30 minutes of an otherwise interminable day.

Then I started a little yoga, some thing, mostly something to pass some time. But after a while it begin to be something I looked forward to.

I also watched hours of The Office, over and over because it would occasionally make me laugh. And when I laughed it gave me hope. I was sorry to see that show end because it was a lifeline for me.

I started riding my bike, a little at a time, no pressure, no set distances, no speed, nothing that I would "fail" at, just to get out and get moving.

I know how you're feeling but it can get better. The first step is up to you.

The question about who would miss you, your dad.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
