My rope is short and frayed.
I know I should tie a knot and hang on.
But I’m tired.
Tired of trying so hard.
Trying so smart.
Of giving my heart unconditionally.
Scared of conditions.
To lighten the mood, I have a book about suicide that I’m supposed to read for an upcoming post about depression.
Talk about fitting.
The depression part. Not the suicide part. Like I have the energy to plan something that elaborate.
The red flags of depression are flying tho.
Wanting to crawl in bed.
Wanting to seclude myself from the world.
Looking at the cabinet where the happy pills live and just not having the give a fuck enough to open it and take the pill.
So tonight I will wallow in sugar and white flour carbs. Tomorrow I will try better to be gentle with myself.

Sigh. No real words of advice, except to say I’ve been there. And you are awesome. xoxo

I’m sorry you are having a rough time. I hope you can muster the will to open that cabinet.

Bless you for being honest and sharing your emotions. Depression sucks, situational or otherwise. Here’s to a world with no mental health stigma. Cheers!

Yo! Pills freaking rock and you know it. It’s like the gym — no one ever says, SHIT, I wish I didn’t work out. Same deal with those little white mood fixers, only not as sweaty so you don’t have to get your head wet in the shower. Which Is A Bonus.
Would it help if I hide one in peanut butter for you?

God I love Cat.
Take the pills. Take the happy. Or at least, take the edge off.

For serious, Cat’s comment is made of win. Pills. You can take them. ;p
