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...

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 *
