I forgot about this post, sorry for not responding to Skinned.
It was definitely a hard depression i was in. Since then (and thanks to some kind DMs) I have pushed myself again.
I swallowed my pride and got SSRIs from my Dr, I cut way back on drinking/smoking, I starting going to the gym regularly, I opened up to my closest friends about this and welcomed their encouragement and support, I am church hunting again (haven't found one I liked for almost 8 years), and praying more.
SylvesterStallone, you said exactly what I would have told myself years ago, before life stressed and burned me out. Thank you.
Today is going much better. I found an old cross necklace I used to wear since high school and I started investing time with God. I feel a little warmer in my chest now and starting to reach out to music again (thanks to a friend pestering me every week to write more).
More importantly, I decided that I need to socialize more. I've spent too much time introverted when I KNOW I am extroverted. That is my current goal for the next 2 months.
Again, thank you all so much.
glad you're going well through struggles life put upon you.
stay strong buddy
