Dealing with the Darkness
More than a Bad Day
When I posted my last blog, I was struggling with a bad day. The simplicity of the post helped me accomplish the goal of the day. Unfortunately, for the rest of the day, I was frozen at the edge of my metaphorical cliff, fighting the desire to jump. I didn't eat or drink anything until the late afternoon/early evening. My mind was at war with itself.
Coping With Dark Thoughts

The things I did were:
- Cry
- Sleep
- Listen to my Depression Playlist
- This lets my family know where I'm at mentally because some songs will signify the severity of my depression.
- Wrote a Poem
- Journal entry
Yesterday, there was no blog post because I chose to skip it for my mental health and healing. It was also my husband's birthday, so I gave him time. We watched shows all day, and it was great! Today, we celebrated with lunch, but it was a quiet date. We heard a close family member of his passed, so I did what I could to make him laugh and smile. At this moment (as I write this), he is taking time for himself.
I'm still experiencing a low episode, but I have enough strength to support him. He is always there for me when I'm down, and I'm there for him. Sometimes we are both dealing with darkness, but we can always bring each other back to the light.
I have been there before. Sending you hugs and want to thank you for sharing this. Take care. XO
