(12,533 posts)2. Good advice not to make decisions when you're depressed
It's the same reason they tell you not to make a big change or financial decisions for a year after losing a loved one.
You are in a vulnerable state and can make bad decisions easily.

(9,062 posts)3. I'm reading "So Sad Today"
essays by Melissa Broder.
Some are about depression, some about other topics.
She reports all this through the lens of a wickedly funny sense of humor, which helps.
Sample titles of her essays:
"Honk if There's a Committee in Your Head Trying to Kill You;"
"The Terror in My Heart Says Hi;"
and
"Under the Anxiety is Sadness but Who Would Go Under There."
She's an amazing writer, my latest fave rave.
