Bipolar Life- The Journal #58, A Facebook Note

Depression sucks.

Sitting in the darkest chamber of your soul, unable to breathe, and in fear of movement. Rocking back and forth while holding your knees to your chest, and your deepest secrets locked inside.

Everyone you meet is greeted with a smile and is blind to your pain, or exhaustion, or fear. You are a pro at hiding the truth and manipulating your own emotions and feelings. But the thoughts, they rip through your mind like a fierce demon. Depression is a place of uncertainty- unsure if you control your mind or ‘they’ do.

Depression isn’t always lying in bed, crying for days on end, not eating, or bathing. It can also be the person who gets up and showers, eats, works, cleans, and keeps going.

But everything inside is lost, but no one knows anything is missing, namely you.

What they see and what exists are two different things.

I hope you are doing ok tonight. Always here if you need to chat. I try to respond to all messages within 24 hours.

I'm someone who has always had a deep passion for literature and writing. From a young age, I've been captivated by the power of words and the way they can transport us to different worlds, open our minds to new ideas, and connect us with people and experiences that are distant from our own. Whether it's immersing myself in a classic novel, jotting down my thoughts in a journal, or crafting my own creative stories, writing and literature have always been an essential part of my life. I'm excited to continue exploring this rich and rewarding field, and to share my thoughts and insights with others who share my love for all things literary.
