Silver Linings

Sometimes I feel like I’ve made so much progress, and then other days I feel like a defenseless helpless child. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with me…but then I have days where I feel like there are monsters lurking…where it feels like one thing can just set me off – where the depression makes an appearance and I can’t seem to fight it off. Where sitting alone and doing nothing actually sounds appealing. I’m not sure what to do on those days. Do I continue to smile and nod and act like everything is ok? Or do I give in and become a recluse and hide away?

Is there something wrong with me…or is everyone like this, and I just happen to be more open with my feelings…I often wonder.

I know there is no value in pretending. Façades will fade and expire, and it feels like Depression is always at the window ready and willing to play peek-a-boo.

“Peek-a-boo….I don’t wanna see you today!”
