A thread on mental health for the day that's in it.

Like a lot of people, this year has been difficult for me.

For a few months I was in quite a dark place and really struggling.

The pandemic has impacted us all in different ways and continues to do so.

I've been in similar situations in the past, but adding a global pandemic to the mix was *a lot*.

I overthink everything and spending a lot more time within the same four walls was a recipe for disaster.

Some days everything felt so pointless, including me.

I knew people were in much worse situations and felt guilty for being so down.

I have family & friends (even if I can't see most of them right now) a job, a roof over my head.

So, why am I crying again? Why am I having an anxiety attack? Why is it too hard to get dressed today?
