Happy News

Today, the person experiencing depression proactively expressed they wanted someone to chat with, so they reached out to me. In less than two hours, I realized I was multitasking, doing a puzzle while on the phone. Otherwise, I'm usually unable to focus on one thing and have no interest. But as we chatted, I was able to start doing things. And she, who had no appetite, even opened a bag of snacks and started eating. It seems like taking things step by step will show results. She initially said she couldn't feel happy at all, but as the conversation went on, it brought back her happy memories from the past! She smiled. However, I'm flying to Japan for five days on Saturday and might not be able to be there for her promptly. I really wish her husband could chat with her more, because even though he's right beside her, the person with depression said her husband is difficult to talk to!
