Ups and downs

So I made that post about my ins and outs for the next half of the year, and then immediately slid into a vicious cycle of panic attacks and depressive episodes so bad that I was not really able to do anything at all.

I want to get out of this, but it feels like I am trapped in a pit of slippery mud and climbing up even a few centimeters takes an enormous amount of effort and no guarantee that I won't slide back down again.

As I think hard about the ups and find none, I realise perhaps a better title for this post would be "downs and more downs".

I do have a comfortable life, a group of close friends, and my parents are in good health. These are all things that aren't granted (especially not in today's World) and that are to be appreciated.

I guess then right now my ups are whenever I get to connect with friends and family or enjoy a cold drink on the balcony.
