I am really struggling with depression in general in a pretty hardcore way even outside of anything steemit. But I will say that the hopes I had that this platform would allow me to help with our family's financial hardships are deflating more and more. It is depressing, but I knew it was a 'gamble' so I guess I shouldn't be depressed about it, or rather I should try harder to NOT let it get to me, since it is in theory a temporary 'dip'.

I guess that is just an indicator of how high my hopes were! And I guess, I'm still hanging in there, since I'm still putting the time in every day.
