That's just it. I can't interact with anybody outside the internet because of the pandemic.
Not that I'd want to or that I'm going to after the pandemic ends
In any case.
I guess I was wrong to say 'that's just it'
I've been to the bottom before. I've been a 0/10. And I've been 1/10 a few times.
Right now I'm a 2/10. And I don't think I'll ever reach a 1 again. And I will DEFINITELY never reach a 0 again. At least there's that.
But staying a 2/10 for the rest of my life? Boy, that would suck.

You may get yourself back that way.
Take just one small step forwards and consider yourself on the mend rather than on the way down.
I'm sorry you feel so bad.
I've been there before and it seems such a hopeless situation.
I always say that family helps.
It did for me.
But that really depends on who your family is.
And remember that the situation won't be fixed quickly.
Be prepared for it to be a gradual process.
