How can we be happy and productive when our bodies feel like crap 97% of the time? This isn’t even about depression. I have so many health issues. It’s impossible to have any kind of life, let alone enjoy one’s life, when you’re always feeling like crap- physically. Which then obviously brings on the depression.
For about a few hours last night, I felt physically ok-ish. So therefore mentally I was doing ok. But now I’m back to feeling like crap, physically. So therefore I’m now back to feeling depressed again.

process I’m still in, but trying to find effective distractions. Reading is still my go to, I can lose days reading novels, especially horror.
then it’s about making the most of that 3%. When I can get up and do things I try to make the rest of my life better, cleaning, cooking, fixing stuff. It’s a tight window, yet agonizing about how tight doesn’t widen it even a little. When I’m sitting I worry about my inner life, when I’m able to move around I try to banish conscious thought apart from what needs to be done next.
I know you have more physical challenges than I do, so what making the most of the situation might look different to you.
Oh! Writing and creating is also a great thing to lose oneself in.
