Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Feeling low today. In the midst of depression, which I have battled on and off for 25 years. Lots of life stuff going on. Yesterday I was dealing with things better, not that I was dealing with them well. Today - today I just don't have the engery, the will, the clarity to navigate even the easiest of tasks. I want to crawl into a hole and shut out the world, but I know doing that will only make me feel worse. So I'm stuck.
I know I will make it through the day, and I know there are better days to come, but that's not comforting at all right now. I know to just take things minute to minute, break things into small tasks, be mindful, slow things down, treat myself here and there, etc. But I am fucking tired. And despite knowing that these are the things I need to do, somehow they are ringing hollow right now. Hopefully the day will improve, I will improve, the sun will come out, etc. But right now, it's just shit.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for being part of this little community.
At least it's the end of the day, and I made it this far, and I don't feel quite as down, yet still down. Going to go eat some good food, and then get to bed. Hopefully tomorrow is even just slightly better. I hope the same for you.
