-2 Can't feel too much of any emotion. I rather doubt the hospital would actually help me. But I'm not suicidal or anything right now, so it's not necessary to go. Some things help for a while, but is there actually anything that can ease my depression for good? I've lost track of how many meds I've tried, plus general therapy, CBT, DBT, ECT, and TMS. What more can I do? Feeling like just giving up

sometimes a radical change of scenery [lifestyle change] is required.

I recall you mentioned you were going to move to an assisted living type of facility. Is that still happening?

I've been wondering whether moving into my own apartment (even if I need someone to come help me sometimes) would be helpful... but I'm also afraid it would only help for a little while until I stagnate there as well. We've also talked about possibly redecorating my bedroom to give me a change of scenery, I just have to 1. get it tidied up and 2. decide just how nostalgic I am about some things (for example, would it be a good idea to repaint the walls, or am I really attached to the color they are now?).

If you aren't against the idea, human touch can be soothing. You could get a dose of oxytocin by giving your mom and dad a hug.

No, I finally heard back from them and it turns out that the reason for the one hundred percent employment rate they have is that employment is required in order to be a part of the program. So I don't get to do that unless I can get to the point where I can manage some sort of job. I'm still keeping an eye out for something that would work for me, though.

I hear you. I've wanted to redo my bedroom for years but I can't find a new duvet cover that I can tolerate for sensory reasons. Until I know what colour it will be, I won't paint my walls or wallpaper or get new window treatments, or design any artwork .... You get the idea. It all hinges on my sensory issues with bedding. Maybe if you paint, I'll paint too! That might get the ball rolling!

My dad just left earlier today on a business trip that will last all week, but I do sometimes cuddle with my mom on the couch. I'll try to remember to do that at times when I'm okay with touch (sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes it's a bad thing).

I'm not sure if the wall-painting is going to happen or not, I may decide I feel too nostalgic about the walls. But my mom and I did think we might get me a bunk bed sort of thing and have the top part be for sleeping and turn the bottom part into a sort of lounge space with a bunch of pillows and stuff, or to get me a loft bed and putting a couch underneath. I've probably got time to decide what I want to do, my room is pretty messy right now and ought to be tidied first
