@jamsie I thought I was reading about me when I read your post! I was married for 18 years and my ex was less than sympathetic even after I was hospitalized. In fact he told me " your the sick one"! So eventually I got the courage to divorce him. I still suffer from depression every day on what seems to me a grand scale. Every day I wake up and feel the same...no joy, no motivation, at times lack of sleep, and eat to have something to do or side effects from various psych meds that haven't worked in my case. Along with already self isolation prior to COVID this virus has made all my symptoms worse.
I'm not a fan of Facebook and most of current technology like Zoom, but forced myself to try one or two of these avenue to try and keep in touch with people. It's definitely a challenge and still not a fan but am trying something. I try to write in my journal to get negative thoughts out, but just found out about art journaling (a kind of collage)and bought a few art supplies to try this out. I have no grand expectations, but some time to focus on something better. Glad you posted here. Hope I've been of some help.
