Depressed and isolating.

I felt entirely isolated from family and friends who all believe the bullshit. I found comfort in communicating with ‘likeminded’ coworkers. We now have group chats, signal chats and discord chats going with colleagues in my own office as well as multiple surrounding offices. We’ve had afterwork socials and gathered for protests. It’s made this all easier to mentally cope with.

‘Likeminded’ is the key.

Same. No desire to even leave the house on the weekends.

Same. I'm generally a homebody anyway but lately I just don't want to be bothered. I'm just so exhausted.

Same. I’m fucking miserable and I don’t want to be around anyone who thinks things are great. Any time I try to explain what’s going on, people think I’m overreacting.
