Bipolar Life- The Journal #62 “Was I in December?”

just a small note….

Sitting at work like, “Was I even here in December. When did the sun come back? What just happened to 2019, was I even in it?”


And that’s depression. I was so down in darkness, I never saw the light that was here the whole time. I was disconnected. I do not remember being here, working, preparing, and getting the job done-still I got it done.


That’s what depression looks like folks. From the outside, many times it’s never seen. Sure, I heard the ‘you look tired today’ comments, but to most people, they’d never know the place I was living in. It’s okay ‘they’ didn’t need to know, a couple people in my circle knew, and checked in.


I feel like I emerged from a deep abyss today. The gift of time for myself-to heal, to grieve, to think or not think, was priceless. I knew I needed it, but never imagined this feeling of rising I am experiencing today.


God works in mysterious ways, even in the center of our depression and pain.

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.
