  • As someone who has been in your shoes I understand how hard it can be to just get up and keep moving towards a goal. What did help for a bit at first was to change my surroundings. I would go for very long walks, 10+ mies daily. This helped clear the cobwebs in my head. Made me feel healthier and helped me to discover things in my surroundings. Leaving the house also gave roommates space away from me… depression is depressing on everyone around you. It’s like alcoholism, you think you’re hiding it very well but everyone can smell it a mile away.

    I could go on and on about all the steps it took and I’d be lying if I didn’t admit it takes a very long time and exceedingly hard work everyday.

    Feel free to contact me if you want to talk or if you want to hear funny stories about all the dumb embarrassing things I did to try to find joy. You are not alone. Sometimes it takes folding all cards to change your point of view. Take a bus to Yellowstone and work their summer program. Limited technology and a way to make new connections you might even end up working winters in Vail, CO. I did and it was so much fun.
