ruling the queendom is a dirty job
I was talking with my mom a while ago and I told her I’d been having some down days; struggling with my depression a bit. In a little plot twist during this talk, I told her I’m happy I deal with depression and anxiety. Mom: I’m sorry. I’m sorry I passed this down to you. […]
Hi y’all. I know it’s been a minute since I’ve blogged, chatted with y’all, or really been on any of my “muddy” social media. Gonna be honest… I needed some time. Some time to “me” to get my mental health straight. I’ve been an open book about my mental health journey, and I’m letting you […]
Fine “Fine” is such a dirty word to describe your mental health when you’re struggling with it. Quite literally a four letter word. Every time I say I’m fine, I am basically saying “f*ck you” to my emotional issues. I say “f*ck you” so damn much. It’s easier this way since I don’t “look” depressed…whatever […]
The funny thing about depression is that depression is a funny thing. Depression and/or anxiety affects millions of us and yet when we’re in the middle of it, we still feel all alone. That’s the thing about depression. It lies to you. Constantly. It tells you nobody will understand. It whispers that whatever is bothering […]
Note: These aren’t my words. This isn’t my journey. But it could be. It could be anyone’s. This is Alma’s journey. Thank you for being brave enough to share. I haven’t edited this in any way. On Depression. It’s messy It can leave you in a puddle, snot nosed, crying (for no apparent reason). It […]
Note: Many of you might be familiar with my semi-regular postings about my own dealings with depression and anxiety and overall mental health. That is my war. I am willing to share my own war with you all to shine the light on mental health. My dear friend, Mike is willing to share his own […]
A little over a week ago, I got into a disagreement with a coworker. It was small and petty and completely unattached to anything work-related. What the argument was about really isn’t important. It was a “nothing” exchange. The whole thing was bizarre and completely unwarranted: I listened to the agressiveness coming from this person not with fear (because unfortunately, as a […]
When you’re living with depression, there’s a lot of shit going on in your head. I mean… like duh, way to state the obvious, but hey… someone has to. What a lot of people don’t understand is that living with depression is just that- living with depression. Just because you’re dressed and out of the […]
So I’ve been M.I.A. for a while. Sorry about that. I got tired. For those that have followed the past Chronicles, y’all know what that means. But if you don’t or don’t remember, that’s my depression. Rarely do I feel the sad feels, I’m just tired. And for the past few months, I have been […]
Many people don’t believe me when I tell them I live with depression. I guess I get it; I don’t fit the stereotype. Sorry I’m not a sweatpants wearing, old mascara faced heap on the couch (but call before you stop by on the weekend so I can clean up, k?) I function and I function quite well. […]
