I've been wrong with things before so I'm hoping things turn around. I teach my kids, try to guide them through all the normal hurdles of the past, and all these new unnecessary modern hurdles, I take the take to hold them, play, and that's all that seems worth doing at this moment. Almost like I'm just waiting for something to happen, so I can take action again.

I can very much relate. Im also pretty certain I had very real depression following my D. I know how that felt and this is not even close. The highest stress is that with which you can’t do anything about. The things that have been done and continue to be done to us are so out of our control. Sure there’s the Covid nonsense but it goes way beyond that to men competing against women, obliterating their records all because they’ve decided the bodies they live in are not accurate. SMH. Prices rising out of control, if you can even get the item. Now wars starting, gas prices on the way to record highs while we sit on oil we for sone unknown reason stopped using. It’s craziness. And yes it’s evil.

How can the average person see a pleasant future - especially with things outside our control. It’s not depression it’s reality. That said depression is also hitting record highs, especially for children so if there is a component of depression is there any wonder?

Let’s hope both of us are wrong. Doesn’t seem that way so far.
