Im struggling with depression too, homesick for 1 year. Can’t go anywhere cause of panic attacks, no health insurance, no money. No jobs because I live in the Balkans. I develop software but can’t sell it. I’m thinking of buying some chickens and start selling eggs.

it's a dangerous thing to compare myself to Chester Bennington...I mean he had demons but he also had friends, a band, a family, kids, money.... I've got kids but that's the only thing. I'm trying to build more anchors to give meaning to life but it's hard.
People with friends, relationships, families and kids will recover more easily. The rest of us, we’re doomed. The more you enjoy little things, the better for your mental health. Laughing helps, I used to laugh every day about silly things, now I find everything dumb or pathetic.
