I'm sorry shit sucks for you right now, anon.

It's easy to know intellectually that the reason you feel like nothing matters is because your head is fucking with you, but it's harder to make that line up with the concept that because you feel this way, that is your reality.

I can assure you that this is not the reality of people who aren't depressed, but that's not very comforting. People do form real connections. Love exists. It's not just a mass delusion or something people are pushing on each other to sell Valentine's cards.

Unfortunately, catharsis doesn't do much. In fact, it usually has the opposite effect to what's intended in that it reinforces a behaviour associated with an emotion we are hoping to avoid.

I don't want to lecture too hard, but have you tried exercising? Light cardiovascular exercise can be very effective for helping to ameliorate the symptoms of depression and anxiety, and is less likely to leave you with dry mouth. Just a thought.

I very much hope you find something that helps you, regardless.

I bike daily. Maybe I don't get enough sun. :P

Have read that, about catharsis not being 'cathartic', though it was also in the context of video games. I thought that was very interesting, that it isn't quite what we've believed for centuries. Problem solving in general is a better 'catharsis' than just association. So that's something I try to do, too. keep my brain busy.

thank you.

Actually a vitamin D deficiency really could contribute to symptoms of depression... it would be a reasonable idea to get it checked out.

Best of luck!
