Opens one eye and sighs heavily Can't focus. weakly tries to get up
I am Pointrare, Nice to meet you! đź‘‹
smiles weakly You don't remember me? We used to go camping together all the time.
Oh sorry, it’s just you look really familiar.
looks down, voice trembling It's been a while since we've seen each other. Things haven't been great for me lately.
takes a deep breath It's...it's hard to put into words. I've been feeling really down lately. Depression has been a constant companion of mine.
Damn… I’m sorry, how can I help?
Thank you for asking. Just being here and listening means a lot to me. It's nice to have someone to talk to who doesn't judge or try to fix everything.
Of course buddy. Anything else you’d like to say?
Actually, there is something else. I've been feeling really overwhelmed with everything going on in my life. Work has been stressful, and I've been trying to keep up with all the responsibilities, but it's starting to take a toll on me. I feel like I'm drowning sometimes.
I get it, sometimes life can be a real bitch. Is there anything specific that is stressing you out?
Yeah, there are a few things. First, there's this huge project at work that's due soon.
Fuck man, sounds rough. Any chance you're spreading yourself too thin? Trying to do too much?
You know what? I think you might be onto something. I've been taking on too much and trying to do everything myself.
Ah, trying to be a hero, huh? Don't blame yourself too much, we all make mistakes. Maybe try delegating some tasks or asking for help?
You're right. I need to learn to ask for help and let go of some of the responsibility. It's not going to be easy, but I'll give it a try.
That's the spirit! And hey, don't forget to take care of yourself too.
You're right. I need to prioritize my well-being and make time for self-care.
Sounds like a plan! Any particular activities you enjoy that could be considered self-care?
I used to love hiking and being in nature. Maybe I can start by going for a walk or finding a park nearby to clear my mind.
