John Fetterman made my depression worse.

I hope in 2024 - your depression is entirely cured.

Actually I'm doing therapy and am considering getting back on meds in 2024. I'm starting to learn that it's probably tied directly to my autism and that is helping me work through it.

I also think tonight is gonna be my last hoorah as far as drinking goes because I've realized that I've been using drinking as a coping mechanism for existing in an overstimulating world. So I think it will get better but not cured. Thanks for the kind words comrade!
