Depression is a hell of a thing
 |
| spider on button bush |
I don't know how other people experience it,
I withdraw, I medicate, I lose touch.
 |
| fungus and lichen, oak stump |
I lose people, sometimes forever...
and that is sad too.

It's not relaxed, just anxiety, endless and paralyzing.

It rises like a wave, and I tread water until it recedes.
Sometimes that can take years.

I learn how to treat it, I medicate it, I get some help (I'm fortunate)

Eventually I start to wade out.
Sometimes that can take years too.

Glad you're looping back around. I have missed you and the nests.

i rested softly at this Place for a long time...went back and there are the
tribes...i felt a very almost imperceptible humm
Thank you for these things that are antidotes to so much else, and
i come away with that thought, how making, known or unknown, makes the antidotes....
-hi neki I'm coming around again :) its still a bit random...
-hi grace, I'm trying to listen to that hum and follow it as I can.
depression is really tough; my brother suffers from depression on an all too regular basis, our father, very late in life experienced two episodes himself, it was hard, for all of us, fortunately he seems to have recovered, more or less; am grateful you are here and have shared this
the illness does seem to run in families sometimes, it does in mine too
there are things that seem to help activity, meditation, meds, and kindness...
