Writing has saved me on so many occasions and like you, I rarely if ever talk about depression because people are largely incapable of witnessing this struggle in a warm yet dispassionate way. They often feel the need to fix or placate when all we really need is, "I see you." I see you. ❤️
Such beautiful words Miriam. I,too, feel the push and pull of depression: feeling alive yet alone, feeling joyous yet with a lingering sadness. I'm so glad you're getting into poetry - Sustenance has been such an wonderful community and amazing outlet ❤️
