therapy has helped clarify some of the way my brain works. if I have hope for the future, if there is a *clear path forward*, I can be crazy productive and happy. Once I start feeling blocked, like there's no progress towards anything to be hopeful for, the depression is debilitating. I'm a being that is powered by optimism and hope. I need to figure out how to keep that going in the dark times. The creatures I surround myself with are an absolutely essential part of it.
