Depression is natural. The brain needs time to unlearn old ways of thinking that have proven unhelpful, and during that time you genuinely don’t know what to think. Anxiety is natural, you are in an unsafe situation. Exhaustion is natural, most work you are doing is not going to serve you so it’s better to save your strength.

And isolation - well that’s you identifying what you need to do to find some safety and comfort, how you can start doing work that energizes you, how you can learn to think in ways that actually make sense. If you have nothing to fight for, you might as well go looking for people you can connect with.

Trust me, and more importantly trust your heart: you don’t have anything better to do.

And when you do find your people, then I am sorry but you will have something to fight for.
