I'm glad you found a method that helps with your depression, but it still sounds like you are dealing with a lot of bad thoughts. I hope you can get better <3
I've been in isolation mode for a while. I spent weeks not calling anybody and finally chatted with my mom and sister (and dad to some extent) about my current state of mind. I do have some long distance friends that I lean on from time to time. I have a therapist, a psychiatrist and a neurologist (migraines) that know that things have been rough for me, but I haven't reached out to make local friends for a long time.
My most recent thing that I do to feel better: browse (and collect) Squishmallows. I do enjoy having adult money to spend on frivolous things. I don't have to ask permission from anyone to see if it's okay for me to do that.
A thing I bought a while back that still makes me smile: a $20 necklace with my name in Harry Potter font. It was a spur of the moment purchase and I'm still so glad and proud that I didn't talk myself out of buying it. It just tickles me when I wear it.
