“Seasonal Depression”

Let’s talk about it! I find solace in my writing, so just vibe with me. Sometimes I wonder if the things I go through is for the purpose of being more compassionate and understanding of others because man.....I have been going through things for years I never thought I would or could endure. I sometimes battle with depression but I haven’t experienced it for months now until recently. I have always heard the holidays are tough for people but NEVER HAVE I EVER dealt with it during what I would typically call “The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year”. But I’m here now, and it’s so very real to me. The thing that blows my mind about it all however is in my pain I continue to find myself thanking God for the things I do have instead of the things I don’t. I guess that’s me trying to find contentment in less than desirable situations. I often ask myself, how can I be so sad when I am so blessed, does that make me ungrateful?!? No, actually it makes me human! I share these transparent posts and stories with you all because I have spent over a decade of my life showing you the joy but never really acknowledging the suffering. I am a combination of the trials and the triumphs. It is the defining moments that are the makings of me 🤍. How are you all holding up during this holiday season?
