Looks like time is growing short now.

1. Of course you have value and valuable things to offer

And you're important. And as you are still alive at this moment, your task here isn't finished.

I completely relate to your problem. I'm struggling a lot with food allergies but my safe foods aren't heart healthy. So every day I try to tweak my diet and test new and healthier foods, while trying to keep the immune system and stomach happy. I've been struggling with this for 6 months now and it is awful. At least my health care is covered but there's no magic medicine for me, just trial and error.

I can also relate to your depression. I'm with you. I find that exercise helps, but I keep getting injured so I have to tweak that too. It's important to persevere though. I'm walking and doing yoga. I hear meditation helps but I like yoga better. Also I'm trying to read some cheery and funny books between reading depressing political news. We really do need to deal with our emotional balance, to make it through another day. Or hour.

Take care of yourself. None of us can see how this ends. We worry of course, but we don't know the future. There's hope.
