Thorny Poetry - 48. Five Steps

mmm ... like creeping fog ... gathers at your ankles and slowly covers you  💖 <- is for you ... not how you feel.  i am always told to be for a couple of days and then try to see the light again, find the way out slowly. Each of us learns how best to deal with it. hang in there.

Your description of depression’s onset makes me feel the slow, pervasive shadows falling. My thoughts are with you, to sustain your light.

Thanks, tim. ❤️ I try to just swim through it, I guess. Accept that there are days when I just can't and try not to push myself on those days, and then work on it on the days when I can. That's what they told me in my depression psychoeducation class. Then in my bipolar psychoeducation class they told me I just have to live through it and try to do things that are good for me, because, well... it's just my brain chemistry.

Thank you, Parker. It always starts with the little things... Both the darkness falling, and the dawn that follows. 

The last step scares me. Stay with people who can  support you. I wish you feel better soon and send you my strength

Thank you. Don’t worry, I’m not suicidal. That would take effort I just don’t have.

I feel for you.

I’m told the sun will shine again ... and I know it’s true. It’s just hard waiting.
