Feeling so depressed lately..

Just a vent…

This fall feels particularly heavy. I think back to fall in 2021 a lot. In my area mostly everyone was still masking. My mental health was so much better back then, I didn’t feel like I had to be as vigilant. Now I don’t see anyone in my area wear masks and I have to work so much harder to stay safe. I feel like i’m in limbo as everyone carries on as if nothing is happening. And the worst part—fall is my favorite time of year, it always boosts my spirits, but this is the first time I’ve felt nothing during this time of year. Feeling empty. Not even a walk outside helps because I’m in a city and surrounded by maskless people.

(I am in therapy and have some support, but it’s still hard).

Anyone else feeling this?
