"Why bother?" What can we do when we are stuck?

Posted by Parus @parus, Feb 9, 2019

This has been brought up before in things that help. Now maybe some can share how we get out of a rut to help ourselves. We all get stuck stuck at times. Curious as to what others do when stuck in that thought mode of "Why Bother?"

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Depression & Anxiety Support Group.

What about this specific tax season do you think brought on this wave of depression or anxiety?

@amandaa, I think this wave crested earlier than tax season, it just happen to break during tax season. Inflation has put so many living paycheck to paycheck in a can't win mindset together with uncertainty what the future holds resulted in depression and anxiety.
