This darkness is an episode.
You still have work to do, and so do I.
Make good decisions on the good days.
Commit to staying in the war and you will win.

Bipolar depression has no schedule and hits hard.
But every episode ends.
The fog will lift.
The sun will rise.
You just have to stay strong until then.
You will beat this.

Sometimes, the best way to fight is to rest.
I take alone time to shut down, feel, and heal.
It’s not weakness.
It’s a strategic retreat to protect my peace and my relationships.

Gratitude feels impossible in the dark.
That's why I practice it on the good days.
A gratitude jar becomes a safe haven,
a collection of reminders that the light will return.

It’s my proof of survival.

It lies and tells you everything is pointless.

when you have a mental illness,
sometimes that's all other people can see.
It's an isolating feeling,
but we're not alone in it.

My doctor told me my physical symptoms were "just depression."
Just depression.
It's frustrating and invalidating.
