Glad I found this post. This is my first reply on Reddit...

31 years old, turn 32 next Tuesday (April 4th).

Single, live in a nice studio apartment in Minneapolis area.. but some extremely poor uncalculated decisions I've made have put me into a major depressive (And currently unemployed) state.

I have no clue what I'm going to do to turn my life around but it all starts with finding a job to pay the bills again. It will be hard to explain my employment history and get hired again but for now I will remain confident I can do it.

The reply that mentioned things eventually all work themselves out and this moment is only my darkened perspective was what I needed to hear.

Am I the only "closet depressed" person here? My family knows I'm in the dumps but they have no clue I'm going on 10 years of clinical depression. It's stupid I keep it to myself but honestly they just don't understand where I'm coming from and think it's situational and not chemical.

Needless to say - positivity going forward. Alot can change in just a few months time.

To anyone else stuck in the dumps you're not alone. Keep making the little changes necessary one at a time.. each day can get better if you'll let it.
