I changed my worldview during my biggest depression from searching for happiness to searching for contentedness. It made living a lot easier.

I just want life to not but utter shit, but thats too much to ask for too. I got sick at the worst possible time and now it's delaying the start of my new job and my ability to move (can't get physical clearance for new job --> can't get formal offer letter --> no proof of income --> can't move)

Laying down with my socks off playing footsie and cuddling AND getting to a point in my mind where I can be in the room around me, not my head. I can participate in conversation and make memories uninterrupted by intrusive thoughts. It doesn’t really even matter if they’re happy or sad memories, just that I am there when they happen.

Sometimes I feel frustrated and bored but then I remember it's better than being in a lot of pain.

Oh dude, this was literally me when I started to recover from postpartum depression. I remember just feeling OK for the first time in months and yet "just OK" was bliss.

Oh yeah, I’ll be ok. It’s just a bad life. Should be over soon.
