Depression is a necessary step towards acceptance. An interesting hallmark is the feelings regarding one’s uncertain future (lacking control for example).
I found depression to be kind of odd. It is definitely along our emotional journey, yet expresses itself more as a feeling of mental drain and less emotionally than sorrow or anger. The tie/influence between emotion and intellectual realms - our emotions being depressed or numbed, exert a similar affect upon our mental outlook. And all that affects our physical behaviour too. Not to fret. The overcast gloom does lift. The clouds do part and the light will shine through.
Nice to see you out for walks and such, and keeping up with self care.

Good for you. Yes, look to the positives. And let go the fear. For a long time things were less known and that “norm” takes a while to unwind or alter.
And well done with H and keeping to texting with no drinks. That was certainly a WTF moment from H.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
