My life felt like this.. if it could go wrong, it DID go wrong. People I love were sick, there was no money and I felt like a complete failure. My spirit was so heavy, I felt like someone was sitting on my chest. Even my vision seemed like it was tinted.. like I wearing sunglasses. I didn’t want to do anything except stay in bed.
I was supposed to go to a family gathering and I really didn’t want to go, but because I didn’t want to offend anyone, I went. I felt ambivalent about being there, but then people were telling stories and laughing. And when I smiled, It changed everything. I honestly don’t know how long the depression would have lasted, or how I would have gotten out of it. But I’m blessed to have people that care about me. And I learned that if I ever start feeling like that again, I NEED to be around people and find something fun to do.
