blogposting time: I had pretty heavy depression during the 2020 coof lockdowns and I went through about a year of therapy
Therapy was really helpful when I had a concrete problem to complain about and needed to get a new pesperctive and rethink stuff, once she helped me with that it became pointless whining about the past and I dropped it.
I also went on SSRIs for about 2 years, they probably saved my life but darn they frick your shit up. Your emotional range goes to shit, nothing angers or makes you particulaly sad but you also don't get happy about anything.
If a doctor told me I had to take them for the rest of my life I'd probably rather rope tbh
