There's a terrible irony in that if you express that you feel lonely, you're more likely to continue to be lonely -- and that if you already have an active and engaging social and/or love life, you'll have an easier time finding even more people to hang out with or be romantically involved with.

Anyway, I've been feeling amazing mentally for awhile, but this happens to be one of those random downturn days where my brain's latching onto bummer shit, lol. Got the classic "I am unlovable, I will always be alone and nobody cares, I deserve my fate" spiral going. But it'll pass, life is good. 😊

Life has never been better for me, but after living with untreated depression for almost 20 years the bar is quite low. I had experiences (thanks to friends) that now help me fight those "I'm unlovable/whatever" lows. It is so important to put yourself out there and have new experiences.
