Living with depression

[untonuggan]

bookblather  has made a really excellent post about living with depression (tw for depression, anxiety, SI, and suicidal ideation) and she also gave me permission to signal boost. She hits the nail on the head as far as the depressive side of my bipolar episodes are concerned. Obviously, though, no two brains are the same so it might not be the same for you.

If you are a person who (1) wonders what depression is like; (2) feels really alone in their depression and wants to know that other people deal with these horrible brain weasels too; (3) gives comments for a jolly good post; then I highly recommend checking out the link (assuming today is a day that you can deal with the triggers).

Oh good, I hope it helps rather than triggers. It was a really good day for bookblather to make that post, for me at least.

It helped slightly, although now I'm feeling a bit impostor syndrome - at least I can drag myself out of bed to do one thing a day, so maybe I'm not as bad as I think, so I really shouldn't be having this difficulty...

Brain weasels. Yeach.

Ah but that is how the brain weasels get you. They convince you they don't exist. It is a pain in the butt, it really is. Yeach.
