Note: I've posted a link from the National Alliance on Mental Illness on how to help someone with depression. (I think my sister wrote it...)
My mind is clearer and I'm beginning to feel like myself again. I'm beginning to feel like recovery is possible. That's a big step because three weeks ago, recovery seemed impossible. I had dug myself out of the black hole of depression so many times before in my life, and had dug myself so deep this time, that I couldn't do it again. I didn't have the nerve, the energy, or the ability. Thankfully, my sister and her husband stepped in and gave (and are still giving) me plenty of theirs. It's hard to find the words to thank them.
I know that I still have a long way to go, and that the road ahead will be an uneven one. But I know the road is there.
How far you have come in these last few weeks. I don't think recovery is linear, but will have its peaks and valleys, but you will get through them.
ReplyDeleteGuess my age is showing too. I went to sleep at 5:30 yesterday and slept to this morning.
