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.
