still, you managed to create the strenght to have hope, patience and stick to the treatment even if you may have felt tired, anxious and unwilling to keep fighting.

imagine a car squeezing out every last drop of gas (wrong gas!) until reaching the next station. normally, cars wouldn’t even be able to move. yet you are doing it!

many people (maybe you among them for now) can’t realize about such a feat, but… holy s*it.

yeah. even with crippling depression, they are managing to create their own strength to fight and do stuff.

also, i think it’s wiser and smarter to focus on one important thing now, than getting anxious about not doing 173927 things, trying to do them and failing, and feeling even worse. (anyway, healthy people can’t do many things either, but they don’t feel so guilty/worthless, those are more depression symptoms).

also, we are talking about depression, which is downplayed and misunderstood most of the time. aboulia, anhedonia, apathy and avolition are horrible yet invisible symptoms. someday science will be able to measure them and show people how disabling they are, and realize the amazing merit of people unadvertly fighting them everyday.

because the lemmitor is fighting against it, and sharing it with us. that is so nice. i think things will get better for them. even if they may think it’s not much, many of us know it’s a lot, bc we know how depression works. the ‘achievement curve’ may look slow or plane for now to them, but we know it’s not: it’s going higher every day it passes.

so keep on, pal! 💪

i am not confident enough to create or mod communities, not even create a post, but i wonder if we could create a thread of ‘Community Organization Thread’ and:

• list already created and active sublemmies and make some kind of accessible and nicely formatted text index (maybe already made)
• make people post ideas for new communities in the comments
• let people react positively on them
• let users comment on the parent comments “it already exists, see this: [Lemmy sub link]”.
• if the community does not exist and the positive reactions are +100 or something, somebody could offer themselves to create the community and post the Lemmy link, suggest the best instance for it, add suggestions and ideas…
• if there is more than 1 community for the same idea, users can decide if working separately (bc of differences), merging, collaborating, etc.

this is because i feel like we are creating communities non stop with zero planification, and maybe it would be better to post content first, see how it goes, and then create the right communities. this is just a random idea, but i think that if we organize together, we can create content in a smarter way and make better use of resources.
