Consumed by my depression

selahgrayce November 1st, 2023

I have been consumed by my depression. Every moment in my life is empastes by my feelings of sadness. I’m so negative. I can’t keep friendships. My job is super stressful. And I’m tired of keeping a mask on. I just want to curl up in a ball and sleep. But I can’t! I’m a wife and mother of two and EVERYONE needs me. I have no energy to even shower most days. And I barely remember to eat. Doing small things takes all of my energy. And my husband doesn’t understand nor want to help. I don’t know how to get past this. My therapist said it’s hard to get clean when I’m living in a dumpster. My mind is trash and I can’t get out of it!!

@selahgrayce huggs you tightly ❤ life can be hard, especially when mentally struggling. I think your husband needs a wake up call. And just stop to breathe once in a while, take a moment to stop and rekax. Do something nice for yourself. You need taking care of you too ❤
