    Yes, but also I’m depressed too.

    Still, it would be nice to focus on my own mental health without having to juggle awareness of a dozen new atrocities every fucking month. Like, one or two per month was my mental limit.

      You are a most kind soul, @PugJesus@lemmy.world . Your posts and comments inspire me. It’s only coming to light for me that you have your own challenges and I feel really bad about that.

      I know this is small consolation - if any at all - but even though we do not know each other, rest assured: I’m a huge fan of yours. I do not exaggerate.

      Please take good care.

        Thank you! And don’t feel bad! I’ve had decades to make coping mechanisms, insurance that covers mental healthcare (for now, at least), and a very supportive family. It sucks to slog through, but these depressive episodes are only temporary. I’ll survive.

        I hope I continue to entertain in the months and years to come! 🙏

          Awesome stuff!

          And you’re very modest for how much you contribute. More than entertain, you inspire and educate. And I could testify to that in a court of law.

          Keep on rockin’.
