I’m at breaking point. I haven’t been in this place in a very long time, and I almost didn’t notice the signs. They’ve have been there for months, slowly building up. My previous postΒ “It’s So Dark”Β is a good indication of where I’m at, but it’s all come to a head now.
I’m crashing, and if I don’t take time away from everything and everyone, and take care of myself, I’m going to burn out completely.
So I’ve decided turn my phone off tomorrow and stay away from my computer. I’ve spoken to Jasmine about this already,Β and I’m grateful that she understands that I need to do this for myself. I’m no good for anyone in this state I’m in.
I’ve prepared a list of self-care activities for tomorrow, and none of it requires much energy. Which is a good thing, because I don’t have any energy to spare. I’m exhausted, so on my list is a long nap.
I want to encourage all of you to take a day for yourself every now and then. It’s the best thingΒ we can do for ourselves.

Hang in there! I love your ‘self-care activities’. I’d looked at it that way before. You are proactive in your approach to this depression, so that’s a HUGE achievement. You are strong. Look after yourself
