My wonderful, beautiful, #blessed life with #depression. Doesn’t matter if it’s in a puddle, pool, or pond. If you’re drowning, you’re drowning just the same.”
Anyone else feel like their #mentalhealth needs to take a back seat in the current crisis on medical staff? Anyone else left feeling completely without a lifeline... with symptoms worsening by the day, hour, minute....? I don’t feel right calling my doctor #SickNotWeak
Had a better day today. Last night, I erased my schedule and put “shower and write next goal.”
It was amazing to let myself go slow. Let myself have only ONE thing. And you know what? I did SIX things.

One of my coping mechanisms against anxiety/depression/suicidal ideation is making a plan that includes baby steps and ends with something fun I can look forward to. HOW can anyone make a plan in this climate? #stuck#depressionisreal#ItsOkNotToBeOk#lockdown
Feeling #hopeless. I hate the “will continue to get worse” pandemic. “Working from home” is impossible as I cannot make myself work. Taking care of my children and attempting to be their teacher amidst this all is overwhelming. Help. Just #help#ItsOkNotToBeOk#sicknotweak
How do you support your super-supportive support system when they seldom show suffering and simultaneously require support while you’re silently slipping & sinking into suffering yourself? #SickNotWeak#KeepTalkingMH#SuicidePrevention
I hurt everywhere. Achy aches. And I keep fluctuating between being hot and being super cold. Hurts to swallow and horrible headache. And no motivation. Sounds like a double whammy of some kind of sick. #sicknotweak#KeepTalkingMH
I have no desire to commit suicide. It’d be too much effort. New high point or new low point? Unknown.

Not going to seek support anymore because I’m tired of being the wet blanket in the lives of my loved ones.
