mh-, depression?
for the past week or two it's like... nothing has felt fun or enjoyable
we've been unable to do anything productive *or* enjoyable and i don't know why
it's really wearing on us and i don't know what to do about it and we just. i don't know
it feels like this is a culmination of stuff that's been building up for years. i don't know what to do about it. we need... something. but don't know what.
there are too many things we don't know
mh-, depression?
{hugs}
That does sound like depression to me, but keep in mind that the entire world got about 20 times as stressful over the past couple months and that being unable to enjoy things is a pretty common reaction to sustained stress. It's not just you, in other words. I've been getting the same feelings.
The way I've dealt with is is how I deal with any kind of stress - find reasons to be hopeful, no matter what's going on outside, and find other things to keep my attention. They don't necessarily have to be games, they can just be busywork. Chores work well for this, since these are things that need to get done anyway. Know that this will pass and things will get better eventually, even if it takes a while.

@dodec *hugs* Thank you. This stuff feels hard right now, but I'm hoping it can be easier.
I realized after posting this that there's an element of dysphoria in it too. I look at multi art and just feel a deep sense of longing.
