Depression cont.

Some days
Just the thought of breathing is too much
The only thought that keeps me going is
“Just keep breathing”
Every breath is a struggle
Accompanied by feelings of shame, guilt and worthlessness
Things I should have done,
Could have done,
Would have done
Remain undone.

The list grows longer
The load grows heavier.
Thoughts become taunts,
Tearing away at any desire
Immobilized
Fading from existence
Until darkness descends
And everything seems to stop.

  1. Time could seem like stopping
    maybe
    cause you’ve raised the awareness
    every breath feels like a struggle
    maybe
    cause you have a lot of tenderness
    Which is great!
    It means
    you connect with people in a real way.

    Having little energy
    is how the load get heavier
    and things get undone
    you could feel
    like moving boulders
    or lifting a big stone.

    This situation you must scan
    think, learn, strategize
    and develop a new plan
    with resilience, and support
    it gets easier in a short time span
    when darkness descends
    you will find the light
    I believe you really can.
