And What You Can do For Yourself
DEPRESSION:
When your brain wants to talk about your feelings but your soul has nothing to say.
You long for sleep but when you awake from 10 straight, medicated hours you don’t feel fulfilled.
You yearn to be alone, but you feel lonely when you take time for yourself.
You have waves of clarity and you know something’s wrong, but you cannot figure out exactly what, or why?
You can be amidst a group of people but still feel lonely and alone.
You want to feel alive , yet you feel like you sometimes struggle to just survive.
You’re never comfortable in your own skin but exhaustion keeps you from doing anything about it.
You look in the mirror and wish you could see someone else’s face. You have a vision of a once happy you but cannot see that face any longer.
You need an escape but your escape leaves you angry or frustrated with yourself -whether it’s a night of binging wine, Netflix or junk food . Even exercise frustrates you when you feel stiff and tired.
Taking on tasks like eating healthy and drinking plenty of water seems daunting and pointless.
