Oh man. I can relate to this so much. The depression really hits in the most personal ways... it’s exhausting.

Yeah, one of the best things I did for myself was stop facebook and insta for a solid like.... 10? Months. Because I would see my friends that I love and care about post fun shit (not even like the quasi-real social media filtered "fun" but like, messy hair and sunburnt on a float trip, hanging out with friends after work, etc normal shit, not instagram reality) And just got this resentment and almost hatred for them. "Why are they trying so hard to impress people? Why are they xyz... And then the more insidious, *Why can't I?*
^(And then your brain goes "yeah it's cuz you're a failure, ANYWAY... Let's think catastrophically and not leave bed because your paralyzed for the next 12 hours. Have fuuuuun.)
