I ended Monk Mode last night and reached out to a few plates. Told them we should hang out soon etc. It's been too long already with no release, and I need to get back on the horse. I've been reading, lifting, and just in general a lot of downtime. A lot. Finished MMSLP, halfway through WISNIFG and WOTSM is next. But I've hit a serious depression stage. I find it hard to get out of bed. Even though I'm lifting, I'm not eating very well. No meal preps etc. Even cleaning my place is a massive task. I'm taking all kinds of naps throughout the day.

I have this annoying lingering oneitis with this chick I ended things with when I went into monk mode. The thought of seeing her gives me anxiety. I don't even want to touch that till I'm stronger, if I ever do. In fact, I'm going to ignore her texts whenever she reaches out.

Any practical advise from you guys on how to battle the depression stage? Aside from the typical just get up and do it?

Thanks.
