Depression/Anxiety/Libido/Introversion 

I had a month off between jobs that I feel like I utterly wasted.

I have gone off my SSRI in an attempt to get my libido back and have just become more emotional which is both good and a bad thing. This all might be an anxiety attack because of being reminded of bad things.

In this time off, I have felt so isolated. Everyone who I care about is so busy with their existing stuff and there is no space for me.

And my privilege makes me feel worse.

Mastodon has become my venting site because the people who have come here I trust more about all of this sort of stuff around mental health.

I talk to my therapist once a month and I feel fine there but then I have nights like this where I just completely fall apart.

I have to leave my chosen family for a week next week too and I'm dreading that.

@xurnami I'm not sure what your current health plan allows for, but if you are currently going to therapy once a month, consider upping that to bi-monthly or even weekly? (I currently go weekly and I very very much feel like it is helpful for making progress and dealing with some of my anxiety).

@KoBunny I've been doing that to weekly at some points too. I slowed down to monthly because I felt I didn't have anything to talk about. Need to start new job fully to see what and if they cover her.
