A Poem About the Off Days

Depression, is a bitch.

Depression is laying awake wishing you could text a friend that you haven’t talked to in a while because you just haven’t felt like it.

Depression is your partner joking about you not bathing in the last 4 days but the realization that you just haven’t had the energy.

Depression is not brushing your hair until it’s matted and and hurts when you finally do.

Depression is the realization that being sober is daunting.

Depression is wishing your feet didn’t feel like layers of cement blocks are around them so you could do the things you need to do.

Depression is wanting to finish the projects you start but looking at them with a sigh instead.

Depression is crippling.

Depression is tossing and turning in the middle of the night, unable to get comfortable because your brain is playing out every worst scenario possible.

Depression is not wanting to wake your partner when you need help, because you don’t want to be selfish.

Depression is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to fight in my life.

Depression, is a bitch.
