Like the way a friend tells you about a random old idea or thing, and then in the same day another person starts a conversation about that thing.

I mean I’ve been struggling with my mental state for a while, but today felt like a lot of people really struggled.

I’ve been feeling really optimistic lately and have been trying to proactively be working through my issues, but today got dark. Really dark. A kind of darkness I haven’t felt before. All of a sudden today I feel more disconnected from my being than ever. Breathing feels odd, watching videos that let me go mindless aren’t amusing, food tastes like nothing, and my body feels numb.

It seems that there is an overarching darkness today. And like I’m not the only one. Am I?
