The Colorado furry community lost one of its own last week. Posts I've read said Myst Dingo committed suicide. I saw photos of Myst's fursuit and couldn't remember if I'd seen him (in or out of suit) at either RMFC, DenFur or any local meets.
I mainly brought this up because I've been having my own struggles with depression lately. My sleep schedule is very random, and I'm often kept awake at night with worries about finding a new job or saving enough to retire in 10-15 years. I've also made last-minute decisions to not make deliveries or attend events that I love to attend because my mind just wants me to lay in bed. I also find I'm slacking off on cleaning my condo and letting trash pile up until I get enough motivation to take it out once every 1-2 weeks.
I have had suicidal thoughts occasionally, but in reality, I don't want to die. To paraphrase Maya Angelou, I want to both survive and thrive. I'm just having trouble getting help with the thriving part. I will make a therapist appointment this week since it's been a while since my last one.
