Struggling today :(

I'm sorry you're struggling today! Is there anything you've done in the past on days like this that has helped?

Anytime I play games online with my friends I feel better that's the only thing that really helps me break this basic delusional brain state 

@Soft_Fumo_Wishes - That sounds like a healthy way to distract yourself from the thoughts! Have you ever tried therapy?
