    Same.

    Also I get to share my hobbies with them. We got a d&d group, we paint minis and play video games together. Which is stuff I’d do anyways.

    I also picked up inline skating as my kids do that all the time and just standing there while they skate was boring.

    Plus I still got hobbies as does my wife. Yes there is less time but we have each other’s backs so everyone can have some time for their own interests like once or twice a week.

    Nope, I’m dead.

    On a serious note, they stalled long enough for me to be able to call my mom. It was the middle of the night when I called and I didn’t want to wake her up. Not like my mom would prefer bad sleep over loosing me. But that’s not how the depressed mind works. So they kept me on there for several hours until I called her.

    That was many years ago and after therapy and lots more I’m doing really well now. Way better than I thought possible for a long time.

    As someone who has been there before I don’t think i wanted to die when I called. Which is actually why I called.

    I didn’t want to die. But I had run out of reasons to live and needed someone to help me find them again in that moment.
