I'll keep that in mind.
I'm in the process of getting officially diagnosed as autistic, I've been through two tests, or not tests but I can't think of the word right now, and I have the third one with the doctor who will give me the final diagnosis in March.
I fear one of the outcomes of COVID was that patients rights would take a hit.
Even before that, my opinions of all things medical was the same as Voltaire’s

A mechanic at worst only puts shavings in fluids and tells you to get a new transmission or whatever.

That is the foundation of science.
Um, excuse me? You need help?
I'm fine.
I'm doing better today. Just was irritated.
Being irritated was my weekend.
I haven’t felt entirely relaxed in over a week. I feel so weak because I can’t get rid of what I’m feeling…
*hugs*
I'm starting to hate the weekend, there's nothing I can do, no one to see and all the things that need to be arranged can't be arranged because it's weekend!
A difficult but understandable feeling.
I have had frequent bouts of "I give up" recently.

Ugh I hate that 'I give up' feeling, it leads to so much emptiness and overeating. Sleeping a bit longer sometimes helps me if I can spare the time, as does saying to myself that it's ok to expect less of myself whilst the mood persists. Usually the thing that gets rid of those kinds of feelings is a 'derailing' event; something that changes my routine and forces me to think differently. You can't feel empty if you've got to think about something new.
Of course, knowing that and acting on it are two different things, and I don't always follow my own advice. Especially right now when it's cold and rainy and dark all the time, which naturally narrows my behaviour down because I can't even see the outside world right now...

It really sounds like you're up against things from the sounds of your latest posts. I don't know your circumstances, but is there anyone you can call and chat things through with? I know that depression can make everything seem very heavy (believe me), but if you aren't talking or changing routines then the cycles of negative feelings just keep repeating, in my experience.
Hopefully things can turn around soon.
