I Battle Depression

Everyone always expects us to be okay, and say that we’re fine when asked, regardless of whether it is true or not.
I was never taught how to be okay with admitting that I’m not just fine.

So I’m, fine, to others.
I deal with it, and ignore it for as long as I can, and I bury it in the deepest parts of my mind, and go on with my day, because I’m supposed to be okay.

And then, when I don’t have the busyness of my daily life to distract me, and I’m finally alone, it becomes really difficult to act like i am just fine.

All I can say is you're not the only one. I know that doesn't help, but you aren't. I've posted on here a few times about it myself. Depression isn't the same for each person and what works for me may not work for anyone else. But knowing I'm not alone and can vent and share with others can help, sometimes.

Just vent it and try to get past as best you can. For me, computer games can distract me in times I can't be distracted any other way. It's my way of getting through the worst of it.

Not much help in what I'm saying, but maybe knowing you're not alone might help a teeny, tiny bit. Oh and not stalking you, just checking posts as the come. :) Hope you can get through this rough time. Sending you a 🤗 if you want, but won't be offended if not wanted right now.

I like to sing and I often sing songs that reflect that to help. Today it's been "no children" by the mountain goats. I especially love this part:

"I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn't over
I hope you blink before I do
Yeah I hope I never get sober
And I hope when you think of me years down the line you can't find one good thing to say
And I hope if I found the strength to walk out you'd stay the Hell out of my way!"

Its rough, when things go quiet that's when all the buried monsters claw their way up from the ground. It's not easy, nor fun, not even painless, but it is worth it to hurt it out sometimes, let the pain run its course
"I'm fine" is the most common lie in the world. It's what I tell people when they ask how I am. I think "how are you" is more of a greeting than a question.

I would rather people not speak at all than have them ask, "How are you?" then keep walking before you can answer.
