I Battle Depression

The darkness in my brain is not something an ordinary person could handle. I barley manage every time, but here I am. Somehow.

I’m not depressed right now, but I feel like I’m looking at the darkness through a fence. It’s lurking in reach, but is waiting for the right moment.

In a way, it’s sexy flirting with the darkness like that. It’s a toxic relationship really. Who knew I’d be my own worst enemy?

Don’t tell me I can control it, that I need to exercise to get rid of it, that I’m over exaggerating. You have no idea unless you’ve experienced bipolar depression. It’s not something I can just change. It’s not a mindset. It’s a disease of the mind. One I wouldn’t wish on anybody...

Great! you are coping up with it. It means you are a fighter!

My advice.
Just Breathe! Yes, breathe for next 3 months and see your depression goes away , and don't take pills in between.

Breathe? yes, you never know how powerful inhaling and exhaling is, Breathe deep into your lungs and abdomen not like up to the throat. It isn't something that you should do all the day, 1 hour a day. Breathing exercises (called Pranayama and kaapali bathi) can bring tremendous changes in ones mind and body repairing each and every cell of the body. Yes body is made up of cells, cells need oxygen, the more you give them the more energized and function they are. What you exhale is toxic, co2. The more you inhale deep, you pour in more oxygen to the system, the more you exhale the more you remove toxic waste from system, it gets perfectly cleansed in mind and body , so that you will be a perfect human doing your life much positively.

Or just run for 1hour, inhaling exhaling deep down, see the results. Breathing repairs, Breathing heals.
Happy Healing.

I’m truly sorry you are suffering from this. I’ve had depression for an unrelated reason and it’s no fun being told how easy it is to address it. I’m good now. You have good people around you. I’m glad you have that and hope they understand. * hugs *

I know this darkness. I often feel it as a physical presence - ready to snatch moments of pleasure from me. Look after yourself.

Stay strong.. Say no to drugs.
Get a hobby, set small goals to achieve.. Talk to someone.

As long as you keep fighting it. Remember even in the darkest times that it will pass ..and yes, I know how hard that is to do..and the people who know you and truly care will not judge you when you have a bad day or more, but they know the person you are when you aren't fighting the battle and will be there for you. Any of us will be.

🙄🙄 see above/below for exactly what I’m talking about. Always somebody who tells me how to magically get better. Like I get it wasn’t meant to be like that, but it’s so annoying to hear the same thing over and over when it’s literally a chemical imbalance. @GeorgeTBH

@ChiyoSKL it's very annoying to hear get over it or thats its easy to get over its not and people don't understand that saying that can make a person worse

If you ever want to talk i am always here for you
