Downward Spirals

By William Mueller

Good evening ladies, gentlemen, and others. It is February of 2025, and I’m in a downward spiral. This happens often for people with depression, especially those who are affected by the typical sort AND the seasonal variety in combination.

News is bleak in the world right now, and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. I’m not here to make political posts, though maybe now and then some of my posts may suggest favoring one party or the other, know that I think a two-party system is stupid. Regardless, lots of bad news in the world. Wars, folks losing jobs, funding being cut, jobs being removed in favor of “AI,” it’s all bad. Sure, there’s good news out there, but it can be hard to find, especially if you are looking for bad news, which I always seem to be. I find it better to validate myself that “oh yeah, things are definitely bad and getting worse, look at this article of ____ war.”

Anyway, I don’t really have a “but on the bright side” to provide for this post. I guess the bright side is that I’m finally starting to post on here. Sorry if this post makes you feel any sort of way, I don’t intend to bring anyone else down with me.

-Will
