      Protip: create a passphrase instead of a password. Way harder to guess, way easier to remember.

        I did use a passphrase. I even created it using a “seed word” such that the passphrase is like an acrostic poem. I know how many words there are and I know every word except one, and I even know the starting letter of the word, I just can’t figure out what the word is. I guesed passwords for 2 days straight and didn’t get the correct one, now I just lost my motivation to keep guessing.

        Depression certainly doesn’t help.

          Yeah depression sucks :(

          You could write down the passphrase on a piece of paper and hide it in a book or something. Most hacks happen via malware, database leaks, or social engineering anyway. Just don’t lend out the book to anyone accidentally lmao.

          No system is perfect, unfortunately.

          I hope you have a lovely day :)

          Hey bud,

          Random dude here, keep doing what you may enjoy, take time out if you think stuff is too much as it’s OK to not be OK.

          The D word isn’t taboo as you think so I’m glad you mentioned it here, just take each day as they come, you’re going to have bad and some better days, look for positive things and as I say remember to self care.

          Big hugs from a random dude.
