You're not alone. Many silently suffer, which is why most of us applaud that you are able to vocalize your feelings, and to reach and seek ways to improve your current situation.
I suffer from horrid anxiety and bouts of depression myself, I've been in some dark places. I've lost friends to mental health crises. So, whenever I can offer support I try my best to give positive advice.
It does get better.
This is only temporary.
(I've repeated these lines in my head thousands of times.)
People care about you.

Yeah, I've lost people too. But it's somewhat warranted; I become a nightmare when I'm depressed. (e.g. normally have an amicable relationship with my parents, but I made my mother cry when I was really depressed a couple years ago)
edit: upon second thought, you coulda meant that you lost friends from their own mental crises. whoops. reading comprehension isn't my forte
also the standup set was alright. i didn't bomb but i wasn't the best one there either. someone who worked at the comedy club told me i did a good job and was surprised to hear that it was my first time though, so i feel pretty good about my performance. i wanna go at it again in a better frame of mind 'cause i think i can get good at it
i also got offered to switch americorps sites to finish my term (i'm doing a year-long americorps term for a job rn), but idk if im healthy enough to work right now. i really do want to work though. i don't enjoy sitting at home and doing nothing.
the new job site sounds really cool too. my last job was really fucking bad, and one of the worst things was that i was actually hurting my clients through my job. i do social work, so i value assisting people meaningfully. but the new job is at a homeless shelter, and i'd help with rapid rehousing, so i can't hurt people
edit 2: also something that made me kinda... degrade yesterday was that my mom called me a disgrace for having a drinking problem (i drink a shit ton when im sad to help cope). this hurts me as much as it did because i come from an immigrant family, so making my parents proud is really important for me. and for most of my life, i did make them proud
i think if you did decent unprepared, then you could probably do a really decent job if you watched some comedians that inspire you and then read some news that makes you feel things and turn the comments into jokes or something. idk if thats your style o humour but yeah

my style of humor is saying really npc shit but looking like an unassuming person, haha. i dunno how to do traditional standup (every time i've tried to make actual bits i've failed). the surprise factor is my friend
like, i repress myself a lot when i post on the forums or else y'all would ban me

Can you like not use those stupid names right now? Took me long enough to get these screen names straight in my head
update again: i took the job. i was leaning towards sticking around bc a) ima get health insurance quicker since i still don't have that now b) comedy scene (there's a standup contest at the end of the month that i really want to do, as well as a robust comedy scene in austin that i hadn't taken advantage of rip)
im starting work tomorrow though, which i still don't really think im ready for, but i didn't want to appear sick to the guy interviewing me either. also $ ;___;
i'll be busy until 9pm tomorrow so on fri im gonna have to start making a game plan about treatment, since i need it. since i'll be working, i might just go for therapy instead, but i feel like that would take a while to set up. (and yeah i wasn't going through therapy throughout the time i was in austin. i kinda always hated it and preferred just taking medication instead. i have some pretty pathological thought streams this time around though, so therapy might help.)

this sounds remarkably similar to regular conversations with me just add really dumb degrading anecdotes
i do that too when i'm just talking to people. i'd incorporate that into standup but i'm bad at telling stories... which i should prolly get better at
getting banned from the forum doesn't mean crap if you can still play TWG, let's be honest
