All these updates advising people to reach out... damn, what bad advice. If you only knew how impossible that seems while going through a depressive episode. Its all you can do to hold it together, to keep your job, to keep getting up in the morning, to eat something sorta nutritious, to make sure your kid gets to school. Reaching out when you dont even know what you would say? Ridiculous. What ARE you supposed to say? For the nearly 20 years that Ive either been depressed, trying not to be depressed or dreading the next time Ill be depressed Ive never had the right words to reach out with to anyone. Even those closest to me. Im lucky that my closest friends and family know when something is just not the same Cyndi. So....what Im trying to say is its okay to say to someone, you feeling ok? and not believe them when they say, Im fine. For me, even if I squeak out an Im fine if Im in bad shape Ill burst into tears and realize Ive been fooling myself all along.
