I’m not currently depressed, but one of my big things to get me back on track is nature and beauty.
If you’re feeling down or depressed, maybe these will help you.
Northern lights.
They’re a little bit tough to see with the naked eye where I am (NJ), but your cell phone camera you can take great pictures!!
The third one is beautifully camouflaged! Looks just like an old leaf.Nature is great for shutting down the unwanted thoughts and low mood. Be it birding, daytime butterflies surveys or night time moth surveys.
Some colourful moths in autumn lift me. Examples below: photos not ones I took. In order: Frosted Orange, Green Carpet, Burnished Brass, Gold Spot.

Very interesting hobby!! How’d you get into it?Thank you. And Burnished Brass is very glitzy when attracted to the UV light and the UV is shining on it. The green areas look crazy psychedelic gold.
I do love doing moth population surveys.
I feel this so hard.I had a bad day in front of my mother, and now she's trying to fix me.
Star of the show tonight during moth survey - Blue Underwing. Formerly extinct in the UK it migrated back, and now breeds here again and has increased its range here. Not photos I took. And seeing the autumn moth colours lifts me.

Having been where you described I can relate. No words are enough. I have no surviving family, bankrupted by lockdowns, out of work countless times. And yes people don't seem to have time.I will try to keep this somewhat short (maybe).....I have been experiencing increasing depression and anxiety for the last 10-12 years, after the death of my father, brother, and my divorce in a short time span. Before that I raised my two brothers, a step-dauther, step-son, ran the family business while working as a firefighter and 911 dispatcher (to provide for my 5 siblings). Over the last decade my all of my family (mother, brothers, sisters, ex-wife and both step children) have stopped talking to me and sued me several times in court. I lost my job last year (they closed the 911 center) and have spent the last year fighting for 6 weeks of unemployment. I have applied and interviewed for jobs in my field but cannot get a job because I have too my experience and time working in my field. I can go several days to a week not having contact or talking to anyone, and when I do reach out I get no limited or no response because people are to busy.
Evening from the British Isles. Stay cool. xxMorning from Phoenix Arizona. I’m having a good day visiting.
Be safe out there.
Love you.
Please keep us updated. It’s good to see your posts.I’ve been away for a bit. I originally had a different start to this post but decided it was too much info, so I’ve edited it out. All I will say is that things got dark last weekend.
I hate myself, I always have. My entire life, I have watched every woman I have been interested in turn me down and then leave in the arms of other men. I came to the conclusion that I am genetically inferior and that is why I am unloveable/unfuckable. For years, I had suppressed those thoughts, but I recently decided to confront them, which led to all of it hitting me again at once. It's become clear that I cannot do this on my own.
I have been almost entirely inactive on this forum because sex is everywhere, and it's just a painful reminder on what I've missed out on, I can't even enjoy porn anymore. Even though there is work to be done, I have made some realizations on my own. I have already admitted to having a problem with comparing myself to other men, but I also realized that I have put sex on a much higher pedestal than it should be on, that has helped to be honest. Still need to work on that inferiority complex.
Why am I sharing this? Not entirely sure, maybe I just wanted to vent some of this crap out. I'm not expecting anyone here to come to my rescue, I think I'm beyond what someone that isn't a mental health professional can do at this point. I may pop in every once awhile, namely on this thread. But others, no. I will post story updates, writing my erotica ironically eases my mind despite everything else, I guess I'm living out my fantasies?
In any case, hope everyone is having a better day than all of my recent ones have been.
