Was productive at the beginning of all this bull shit but slipped hard into depression. I miss my Job so fucking much its killing me. I'm now part time at home depot making in two weeks what I'm used to making in a day, and there is no sign of my industry coming back before 2021. Going back to retail after being successfully self employed in a field I love for a decade is humbling to say the least.

I had a calling out of nowhere to pick up the bible for the first time a few days ago. I finished the book of Mark and and plowing through Luke. I also watched the documentary Belly of the Beast: Directors Cut which really put me on course to believe this is a battle of good and evil and our President was chosen by God to fight this evil.

I joined a Gym yesterday and lifted for the first time in 10 years. Went back today and did not skip leg day. I'm sore, and tired, but that negative voice in my head that has been saying the worst shit to me over and over and over again the last few weeks has been silenced since my first set at the gym yesterday.

Just wanted to share with some people who would understand. I fucking love this place.

Thanks Frens.

EDIT: Thanks for all the encouragement, advice, and kind words. I love you all.

Keep it up brother. I am in the same place as you. This whole shutdown has screwed up 5 years of planning and work. All I know is we’re in this together and need to be the light for others going through the same.

I believe in you and We’ll all get out of this, stronger, healthier and better men.

Thanks man. Man, some of these comments are just getting me right in the feels. You are so right, we are all going to get through this stronger than when we entered it.

“ These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”

“Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”

These two quotes are as true as they ever were.
