eugh…I’m in that weird state of being depressed while also being angry over being depressed

Everything just feels stuck. I can’t get these feelings out and I just don’t know what the heck to do about it. So instead I’m just waiting it out.
“Want to talk about things that make you happy? It might help.”
“By the way, I LOVE your Mog, it looks SOOOO WICKED!!!”
/grin
wish I could help, Rosenivy.
talk about it maybe?
Hi Cyndilou. Hope your evening is going well.

Thanks. It’s just the venthyr suit but eh.
And I’m not sure if stuff makes me happy right this moment. Everything feels muted.
Just working on little stories in my head with Rosenivy. It’s something of a stress relief to work out stuff like anxiety attacks and comfort with him since he’s kinda going thru the same thing in the Shadowlands.
“It’s going great. I found out, this week, that I won’t need shoulder surgery.”
/happy grin
“If you could do anything, right now, to have fun, what would you do?”
/smile
That’s just it. Nothing really pops up in my head. Hence why I just feel stuck
“How about in a dream land? If you could be anything, and go anywhere, what would you do?”
/smile
I’d probably be too busy making sure a lot of issues are fixed first. Like no pain or new teeth.
I’m just jamming fanfics into the void I feel currently stuck in lol
“I know that feeling. Been nursing a broken shoulder, since late November.”
“Lost all my teeth a long time ago.”
/lol
I just hate how I feel like for me to have fun I have to first fix my dysphoria, pain ( that has no fix ) and my bad teeth. It’s like a giant pay wall
So its just “Well I’m never going to get to do what I want really so screw it” it’s like why even bother getting motivated when it’s going to take a really long time of work I don’t want to do and it’s like ‘Okay NOW you can live’ and by then it’s too late
euugh
“It’s NEVER too late…”

I try to think positively. It’s just hard because trying to almost force positivity seems to just cause the depression to hit you harder so you just sit quietly next to the depression since it’s less actually depressing if that makes sense
“Actually, it DOES make sense. Strange as it may sound, have you tried mocking your Depression, as you sit next to it? Making it feel invalid, and less significant? It’s a trick I learned a long time ago.”
Kinda doing that now in my head but it’s more anger mockery than genuine mockery.
I do that trick you mentioned with invasive thoughts. Works on the suicidal thoughts. Doesn’t really for this lol. ( before anyone freaks out. I’m not suicidal right now. I’m safe. Just a mix of sad and angry / annoyed )
“Try approaching it like the Bully it is. It will help you take control. I have seen you rip in to bullies, and they never stand a chance.”
/grin
Kinda why I’m just using Rosenivy and some non WoW characters I made to work thru it. It’s like in video games where you sneak around a spot rather than brute force through something.
It’s just cute to picture Rosenivy sad or upset / freaking out then cue Draven since they’re soulbound.
The other character I use for this kinda stress is a zombie oc. Not entirely sure how much I can describe their story because it’s a tad mature for these forums.
“As long as it works, for YOU, is all that matters.”
