I Thank The Lord That Life Isn’t Fair
Life isn’t fair. You must’ve heard that said at least once in your life, or maybe you, yourself have said or felt that. That sad, sinking feeling leading to the realization that, indeed, life is not fair. I’ve said that so many times in my life. But now when the thought crosses my mind, I […]

The Symptom of Depression That Didn’t Go Away — Even After I ‘Recovered’
For me, it’s been many years since I fell into a depression from stress and anxiety and then “recovered” with the help of many. I do feel happy —or at least content on most days. I do enjoy living and don’t dread getting out of bed. There are many things I want to do and goals I want to […]

I Miss You In So Many Little Ways
I miss you. I miss the way we could laugh until our bellies hurt over nothing. I miss the way we would lay in my bed watching shark week and be content. I miss the way I would catch you staring at me out of the corner of my eye, and when I would ask […]

The Truth About ‘Lack of Motivation’
I have been struggling a lot lately with a part of depression nobody seems to believe — loss of motivation to do anything. So many people call this laziness or they say it’s easily overcome by simply getting to work. Only people who don’t care use this “trick,” right? Wrong. I’ve always been the good school girl, the […]

As someone who has suffered from mental illness for a long time, I understand people feeling weary about sharing their feelings with friends and family.

She Only Overthinks Because You Send Her Mixed Signals
If you were honest with her about your feelings, if you were straightforward with your texts and actually admitted what she means to you, then she wouldn’t have to wonder about your intentions. She wouldn’t be wasting her time rereading the words you type, trying to search for hidden meaning. She wouldn’t be driving herself […]
