Write Through

When my mental health is poor, I don’t write. And when I don’t write, my mental health is poor.

Warning: this post discusses Depression

I have not had a good week, mental-health-wise.

I had some very bad Depression days, and was generally not very good, mentally.

The thing is that when my mental health is poor, I really struggle to write.

Anything. Like, coherent sentences are a problem.

Let alone the *Writing* I really need ( I explained the difference between writing and *Writing* here, if you’re interested.)

So, when my mental health is poor, I don’t write. And when I don’t write, my mental health is poor.

…Are you seeing the problem here?

BUT — I managed to write this week, despite the Depression issues.

More than that, I managed to *Write* this week — not for very long, but lord knows I’ll take anything.

And I’m proud of myself for that.

I’m proud that Depression can’t take this from me.
