Depression
Post-Election Day 5: Feeling Very Blue
Yes, another sad day.
Full disclosure: I am *CHALLENGED by depression and have been throughout my life. Notice I did not say I “SUFFER” from depression or I “STRUGGLE” with depression (even though I do struggle with it, and do suffer from it.)
Words are powerful. And when I use the words STRUGGLE and SUFFER to describe my experience with depression, it makes me feel all weak and victim-y.
I don’t like to feel weak and victim-y.
I AM A STRONG DEPRESSION-WARRIOR!
It’s not denial. It’s semantics.
*If you are wondering, yes, this election has triggered one of those CHALLENGING periods.
Post-Election Day 4: Hell in a Handbag
I have to say, I’m pretty proud of that devil.
He’s menacing and cute at the same time. Kind of like me…NOT! (I’m not AT ALL menacing. But I am adorable.)
And that’s an Ivanka Trump bag, in case you didn’t catch that little detail.
I do have an eye for detail.
Post-Election Day 2: To Be or Not to Be
Hyperbolic? Perhaps. But I’m not alone. (That’s a link to an article about how depressed this election has made people. Don’t read it if you are already depressed. It will make you more depressed.)
Speechless
