For example, if you like teaching about something you enjoy, become a YouTuber. If you like creating stuff like products or tools, you can then sell them online. But do something that you really, really enjoy. "}

It’s good to get out and talk to other truckers, get some sunshine (or take vitamin D to increase dopamine levels), or maybe even bring a pet to keep you company on the road(: We are all in this together, stay positive and most importantly #keeptruckin! 🥰","replyToPid":0}

","text":"I agree. You know they always said that depression was the most lethal form of mental illness but easiest to treat - it is because one has to talk about it and get help if needed. Thank you for your response","replyToPid":427883}

","text":"LOL, thank you! I just believe that everybody needs to talk it out as to what’s on their minds from time to time. However, some people really do have a medical condition that is depression which needs to be diagnosed by a proper MD. I am hanging in there!","replyToPid":427911}

","text":"Yes, always better to vent to others. Everybody gets the blues here and there, there’s no shame in talking about it. And don’t take any meds for depression either (one of the side effects is literally depression). Depression definitely is a form of mental illness, you just have to re-wire your brain on how you think from a day to day basis and filter all of the negative out. ☀️☀️☀️","replyToPid":427888}
