I’m writing today to say goodbye for a short while. A lot of
‘things’ have been going on lately. My bipolar cycles were up, and what goes up
must come down; the depression is coming down harder than that rain that
pummeled the east coast last week. That was some rough stuff.
So I’ve deleted some social media outlets to remove myself
from being poisoned by other people’s perceptions and opinions and to take the
time to lick my wounds and hope that they will become bright pink scars that I can
be proud of one day. I’ve found this article on MSN this morning about how to love someone with depression, and I think it has a lot of credibility. It talks about how terrible it is to be told that things are ok, to cheer up, or to laugh at something funny, when none of that really matters. Depression isn’t sadness; it’s the lack of ability to do literally anything. One time I sat on my floor and cried for an hour because I couldn’t get myself to take a shower. There aren’t any reasons for it happen, it just does, so be normal and let feelings of ability reappear when they are ready.
That being said, I don’t hope for attention from this. These
words are just a heads up to why I’ll be missing for a while, as well as a link
to an informational link about how to love individuals with depression.
Thanks for your support. I hope to be back soon.
