On being alive

CN: passive suicidality. Friends tell me on the regular, especially when I’m struggling, that at least I’m still alive. They tell each other, “yeah things are tough, but I’m alive.” People share on social media how lucky they are to be alive, after near-death experiences, or just because the world is so wonderful, or because death is so final. I...

Depression: what else can I say?

I’m struggling with depression again. I wanted to share, but I honestly don’t know what else I can say that I haven’t already said over and over again on the blog. I feel like I’m boring you. Who wants to hear that the joy has been sapped from my life, again? Who enjoys hearing about how hard it is and...

Depression: here we go again?

For the past few days I’ve noticed some symptoms of my depression creeping in to my life again; I have had to fight to get out of bed, I haven’t wanted to shower, I haven’t wanted to walk the dogs, and I haven’t cared about what I’m eating, leading to me stuffing my face with a lot of ‘bad’ food. Last...

Where have I been?

It’s been nearly a month since my Love Wins? post. A month in which a lot has gone on, in the world at large, but also for me personally. Without me realising it, my mental health had been deteriorating for some time. Since our car accident in April several things have gone on and I haven’t faced up to or...

Depression: Triggering Travel

Much as I have tried to think of the positives about going ‘home’ to France, depression has come knocking at the door. In fact, if I’m honest, it’s come barging through the door, grabbed a beer out of the the fridge and settled itself down on the couch with its feet up. On Saturday we leave this stunning location in...

Dear So & So: Depression

Dear Depression, I thought we’d got past this. I thought we were now able to deal with minor stresses without you reappearing. There really is no need for you to be here, you are not making things any easier or better, your general malaise and joy sucking skills are not required. Please to be leaving, and don’t let the door...

Lost

Another 100 word challenge post about depression from me. I am not currently depressed, but I still want to write about it, to bring attention to it. Not only that, but when I saw this week’s prompt (‘but it was there just a moment ago’), it was the loss of happiness that jumped into my mind, that was what I...

On Depression…again

For a few days now I’ve been getting mild headaches. I put them down to stress, weather changes, that time of the month, etc. For some reason it didn’t occur to me that it could be my depression raising its ugly head. Until yesterday afternoon, when my mood shot down and I started feeling low, not depressed, just low. So...

Sunset

As is usual for me, my writing, my poem, is not just about the sunset, but about my mental illness, in this case my depression, I suppose it could also be about my bipolar, but it was inspired by my depression. I’m not overly confident with it, but it was my best attempt and that’s all I’ve got, all I...

Dear So and So: Alcoholic Edition

Dear Alcohol, Stop making me feel so good, you are making it difficult to resist you. Yours, Fast becoming an alcoholic. Dear Medication, I take you religiously, despite your awful side effects that seem to be destroying my brain, why are you not working? Why am I falling back into this emotional mess? Yours, Confused and angry, but medicated....
