You hope for everyone and also no one to reach out to to you at the same time
I shut down social media for weeks at a time and turn my phone on silent. But then get bummed when no one reaches out
That most ppl aren’t violently depressed all the time, but what happens are episodes of depression
Since this thread is lacking fun facts… depression makes your bed feel cozier, it brings you in touch with the sad songs, it gives you perspective on how you want your life to be. It courts you, calls you, drags you down, but gives you a gluttony of sins to help it hurt less. It tells you a fate that may be yours if you take it, and if you resist it, it may show you the way out.
Take little steps.
Mania is awesome, you feel, super talking, outgoing, smart, handsome etc. productive! Then the mania subsides and you start to loath about your actions and behaviors.
Ive just started to own my mania and realize my friends are still my friends, they know im like this and they love me. Dont be so hard on yourself about your mania guys. Its not easy, but with patience it can be done. Appreciate your mania roll with it and when it wanes take it easy. Dont hate judge yourself and be overly critical.
I like to think of it like how Naruto harnessed and uses the Kyuubi.
Makes for a good writer
