When Numb Feels Safer Than Sad.

Sometimes depression is brushing your hair just so no one notices. It’s smiling with heavy eyes. It’s texting back “I’m good” and putting your phone face down. It’s over-apologizing. It’s canceling plans you wanted to go to. It’s working through the numbness. It’s being so tired,

When writing feels safer than talking

Talking asks us to be ready right now. Writing gives us time. Time to breathe. Time to think. Time to be honest without interruption or pressure to say the “right” thing. I’ve been learning that writing can create safety when talking feels overwhelming. This is the heart behind Dear Sis.
