Motivation. I lost it some time around 2015 and have been kinda just killing time before death ever since.
Have you tried killing time with some hobbies?
Yeah, but hobbies cost money and SSDI is barely enough to scrape on by.
Not really. I've been geocaching and that's pretty much a free hobby. Hiking and birdwatching is pretty much free too. There are plenty of free hobbies out there.
Were you diagnosed with something at that time?
Oh I've been suffering suicidal ideation and depression since like age 7. 2015 is just when the Trump catastrophe made landfall.
Age 7, that's very early. My son is 6 and a half. I'd be heartbroken if I found out he had those kinds of thoughts.
I'm sorry you have had to and are still going through that. I really hope the best for you. The world really isn't offering much positivity right now for people suffering from depression and such illnesses, and it hasn't been for some time. 😐
Love you. Take care. 🌊🌳🪺🏞️
