I’m having one of my “can’t get out of bed” days where nothing seems fun, but it’s kinda funny, I am getting a constant “yeah, but strangers on the internet thought you looked cute” so that’s nice at least!

it feels like Iike depression is a bit less bad… does anyone else deal with depression by dressing up?

brain is telling me being depressed but pretty is dumb, but i swear i feel a glimmer of something when people around me agree that i’m pretty or cute.

    honestly even if it causes physical/sex problems, i’m really hoping E has that effect on me. I don’t want to say i hate my mind, but I wish i were… different.

    in the interim, I can channel that aggression towards myself to break my depression cycles since taking care of myself seems to help

      I don’t know about sex problems honestly besides fertility, but it has been my experience that the benefits were not only substantial, but also unpredictable. I had that similar feeling about just not feeling right unless I changed in some way I could never identify, and yeah, this did most of that very quickly.

      I can’t say that translates to everyone’s or your experience, but I do think that is more common than not.
