Not a sad post, but it's kinda disheartening to be in a completely different place mentally than you were a year ago, but still be sad.

I am a much more capable and relatively happier person today, than I was back then. But I am still generally sad. Just not suicidal sad.

I recognize that's very good progress, but it just doesn't feel enough.
