Itβs going to sound stupid and grandiose, but I keep coming back to the thought that the fascists want us to kill ourselves so that their hands look cleaner. Iβm not going to do free labor for fascists. Any time spent considering suicide is simply wasted.

Thank you and happy chatting!

π€ So what you're saying is, I need to trick someone into paying me to do it?
π jk of course
thank you β€οΈ I know it's probably not exactly what you intended, but this idea made the situation very silly to me β it's a dark silly, but it's still silly β which I needed very much.
First of all, I don't have answers but I do have a hug if you want it.
As for those 5 bad days, as someone who has been riding the depression/audhd train for a long time, all I can offer is that you have to expect them. Like when you wake up and it's that shitty day, acknowledge it. Tell yourself "ok, today is one of those truly shitty days. I'm gonna hate everything today". Sometimes that makes it easier to remember that it will end eventually and even if not it can at least help you remember to give yourself some grace that day.
I know that isn't much but I know that there are no real solutions.
Thank you. β€οΈ I'm sorry you're on this ride too, but I appreciate knowing that I'm not alone.
feel free to make suggestions if you have them, unless they're diet and exercise and mindfulness
Sorry to be that person, but I'll add sleep, water, and vitamin deficiencies to the annoying suggestion list. I found an antidepressant that worked decently well for me, but there's still a long list of things that can contribute to "bad days" despite the altered neurochemistry. Vitamin D and B seem big for me. Iron or magnesium for some people I know.
Also important for me, socialisation and a sense of purpose/productivity. The former like some sort of conversation with someone, or in-person mutual aid work sometimes. The latter might just be cleaning or organizing, or putting together a spreadsheet or document with plans or smth.
Wrt finances, the mutual aid comm might be able to help with a one-time thing for an assessment. Depending on how much time you have, /r/workonline and /r/beermoney also have a few resources for side income that isn't one of the many gig apps.
I have been absolutely trash about taking my vitamins lately, it's true. π
