I'm feeling just alright because nothing excites me or gives me joy anymore. Many of my family have passed on and the holidays are coming.

I understand that it is hard to have some type of joy especially with the holidays coming along especially when family has passed on.

I know it is hard, it also has taken a toll on me as well this pandemic is hard to go through, but I take it day by day. Maybe you should take to someone if there is anyone close to you?
