As someone constantly battling Major Depressive Disorder AND Generalized Anxiety Disorder - YES. RETIRE THIS PHRASE.

I wish I had the *ability* to not be depressed. All the shit I get done is WHILE BEING DEPRESSED.

Grrr.
please retire the phrase "i wish i had time to be depressed"

1) nobody has time to be depressed
2) depression doesn't care if you're busy
3) willing yourself to force through symptoms bc you have stuff to do is only effective for mild-medium depression, not severe
4) it's a shitty thing to say

I guess Bluesky is still just a place for me to post when I did something, since I still havent't posted since my last promotion, haha.

I wrote another substack post. It's about why I made a substack.

So I Made a Substack
I really only made it because I didn't like the squarespace blogging feature

Hello. Breaking my "I've been here for a while but I haven't posted" streak with this!

It's been a bad year. Alongside the context of the US and world being a disaster, I had a bit of a breakdown, and received a diagnosis for Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

I also played a really good video game.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the best word processing software for writers is a Notepad .txt document with a handgun kept next to the keyboard in case it tries anything funny.
Copilot has just appeared on my version of Word, and I really want to get rid of it. I've read a lot of posts from people saying how hard that is. There's a load of frustration out there at A.I. being foisted on people who don't want it. Have any fixes now appeared? (Word specific.)
