My depression is with me at the moment.
Winston Churchill described his depression as a black dog that followed him around. Even when he had no symptoms it was always there. Watching him. Waiting for him. Like a comfort blanket almost. Something familiar and almost kind.
Something you can relate to in a time when you're out of ideas.
Well mine is more like a black carrier bag that's sometimes empty. And sometimes I can even put it down.
But other days it's full of bricks but I feel compelled to hold it tight to me with both hands. Like a safety blanket.
But it's so heavy it makes me ache all over. It makes me breath deeper
It hurts my head, my heart, my humour. My everything.
And the only relief I get is to cry but it's short lived.
And I need to unload my carrier bag. And if i do it soon enough i will be okay.
If I don't, I don't know what the answer is. And all I know is I got through it before and that must stand for something
