Oct-Dec Ive been unemployed and didn’t even get an interview for a library system I worked in for 5 years. I felt devastated and wronged. Then my dad was hospitalized for a few weeks, had major surgery, and is now in a rehab for physical therapy.

September 1st was my 30th birthday. Everyone older than me said their thirties is when things got so much better. I didn’t make enough to pay rent so I had to move back in with my parents, left a wonderful job to move, and my dog died. 30 sucks so far.

Jan-May I was the most depressed I’ve ever been and it got to crisis level bad. I had to leave my grad program. June-Aug I was barely hanging on.
