The way depression robs you of fully feeling what should be pure joy is just, ugh.
The way depression robs you of fully feeling what should be pure joy is just, ugh. 🙄 Depressive episodes are just part of life for some of us. It doesn’t care if you’re finally seeing Boyz II Men for the first time or celebrating friends. My life becomes an Oscar-winning performance of how much happiness I can squeeze out of the dry sponge that is my brain. It also doesn’t help when I unknowingly run out of anti-depressants while navigating new insurance (update your v old providers section, insurance people!) and that heaviness in my mind returns like dark clouds rolling in. So, I go into autopilot just to get through each day. What really sucks about autopilot is I notice, too late, that I’m kind of mean and not fun to be around. But, after a very long week dealing with the insurance mess 😐, I’m getting back to where I need to be. As much as I want to normalize talking about mental wellness, I want us to take responsibility for our treatment just the same. Oooh it can be so hard sometimes but the work is worth it. 🤍 If you believe in breaking the stigma around mental health and asking for help, support the work of @strongerthanstigma through the fundraiser in my bio. . #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #strongerthanstigma #mentalwellnessmatters #thisiswhatdepressionlookslike
