I am in a deep depression, have no friends or family to talk to. I also started drinking
It was good to help the seeker with their problem.
I didn't like that every time I provided a message I had to select the type of help, the issue is that when you hover around the options there is a huge transparent black message that is difficult to get out of.
Hi, I am looking for someone to talk to

Hey, don't say that. Listen everyone is going through a tough time due covid. What keeps me going is, I look deep down on the inside and find 3 things that keeps me going.

You must be a lucky person. I do not see anything in myself what could keep me going. I do not understand how others cope

Listen you have to be kind to yourself, forgive yourself of whatever it is that is bothering you and then let it go.

I recommend finding a new hobby or doing something that you enjoy doing. It will keep you fresh, active and motivate

It okay to cry, that the first step of letting all the negative emotions out. Trust me. Then you feel more free and the burden will be lifted. Then you will be better and more positive.

Listen I'm on the same boat as you. It can get depressing. However, I light scented candles, play uplifting music on the background. I learn how to cook and started a new series on a netflix. I'll be honest, I'm a man (not like it means anything). I cry a couple times a week in the shower. Why? Because it helps get rid of the negatively that burdens me. After that I feel better.
