🌧️ * * "Why don't we want to get out of bed sometimes when nothing happens?" * *
This question... people who never were may not understand.
Because some days
Not arguing with anyone
Not heartbroken
There's no bad thing.
Didn't have anything to cry about
But we felt...
* * "I don't want to get up anywhere today" * *
Just open your eyes and get tired.
Just thinking about having to take a shower is tired.
Got to dress, got to work, got to see people.
Everything that used to be common
It feels like it takes a lot of power.
And the hardest is
* * I myself can't explain why * *
This is one of the things that makes depressed people feel so guilty about themselves.
"Am I lazy?"
"Why can others, but can't we?"
"Life is not bad. Why am I like this?"
But depression is not just "sadness."
It can be accompanied by fatigue, decreased energy, decreased concentration, changed sleep or appetite, and made daily living more difficult.
So...
* * The day you can't get out of bed
Doesn't mean you're a slacker * *
Maybe you're using all the power there is.
To prop yourself up to the day.
And if you can only today
Get up, come take a shower.
Eat a meal.
Go to work
Or just bring yourself through today...
* * That's good. 🤍 * *
Don't rush to hate yourself on a day when your heart and body are tired.
Can rest
Get help.
And if these symptoms are so persistent that they affect daily life, talking to a mental health professional is the right thing to do, because depression has an effective treatment approach.
From one person who is learning to live with it.
To another person who is trying too...
* * "It's okay today.
Try again tomorrow. "* * 🤍
