When Depression Comes Back . Content Warning.
About a year ago I posted some tips on how I was able to keep depression at bay with showers, meditation and affirmations. I wanted to share this information with everyone because I know how debilitating depression can be. For about a year I was able to live depression free. My mood had ups and downs but nothing like what I experienced before. However two months ago that all changed. I work in the education field and have a pretty set routine from Monday to Friday. I go to sleep early, wake up early, work for 8 hours, go home and follow a detailed written schedule everyday except for the weekends.

Lili Gloom
In the deep dark forest lived a young fairy named Lili Gloom. Lili lived in the smallest and farthest tree in the forest. It wasn’t much but Lili never felt she needed much in life. She was not the only fairy living in the forest but she kept to herself and lived far apart from other fairies. Lili didn’t keep much in her home in fact everything that was not used would get immediately tossed out. Fairies slept most of the day and woke up around evening. This evening Lili opened her eyes and felt a sudden dread in her heart. She laid in bed for a while contemplating whether to get up or not. Most days were like this for Lili. It was as if life itself was at times too much for Lili to bear. At last Lili decided to get up from her bed.

Glitter
In a dark little corner of my dark little heart A small pink light resides I call it glitter because it shines My outer shell is quiet and dark

Shadows
In the corner of my mind and my eyes Dark and murky visions arise The tangle and dance Making me strain every muscle of my being

How Showers Helped My Depression
Showering! It should be a normal every day or every other day activity, right? Not for some of us. Some of us fight the showers. Some of us can go days and even weeks not showering-on purpose. It sounds strange and a bit childish but some of us can’t help this. For one reason or another some of us will forbid showering to ourselves. We fully believe that showering now is not an option. I’m sure many of us have either felt this way or known someone that has gone through this questionable act.

How Affirmations Help Me
Have you ever heard of negative self-talk? This is when a person will talk to themselves in their mind but instead of building themselves up, they will tear themselves down. As you can imagine this makes the person suffer from self-doubt and worry pretty much 24/7. This is me in a nutshell. I think I was in elementary school when my mind started this negative self-talk. Now I am grown, and my mind is still very susceptible to negative thoughts. In fact, they are constant. Of course, I can now see how much my negative thoughts have affected my life in every way. There are so many things that I have forbid myself to even attempt because I am convinced that I will be fail. It is like the negative thoughts have put a leash around my neck.

How Meditation Changed Me
I am what you would call a negative person. My daily life is a bit tough because I am usually in a negative headspace. I have lived this way for so long that it made sense for me that I would always be that way. Having things not go my way or maybe be a bit harder for me feels natural to me. If I’m being honest, living this way has only made me more negative and sadder. While I am surviving each day, I can’t say that am enjoying my life. Like anyone living in this modern world I have heard of meditation. I can’t negate the number of videos on social media platforms advocating for meditation and all the wonderful benefits it can offer.

Tears and Fears
Is it safe to drive and cry at the same time? Would a cop stop and ask me to pull over if they see me? These thoughts run through my head, adding insult to injury

LOVES COOP
I’m what you would call vanilla. I am very careful when I talk about any sexual topic, in fact sometimes I avoid it all together. From any outsiders view I guess I would be called asexual. That was until I met her. It was late in November when a new girl joined the office. This girl was, in a word, different. She had bright blonde locks and wore hot pink lipstick, the opposite of myself. I never really ventured out of the soft nude lipstick and kept my hair pretty much brown year after year. This girl also smelled like a Victoria’s Secret store, wearing what seemed like a coconut and margarita body spray. Of course, I smiled at her and wanted to make here feel welcome at the office, however when she smiled back at me, she lingered a bit. I quickly looked away and then went back to my office. Later in the day my coworker and friend Daniel walked into the office.

Worry-some? More like Worry-lot
For a long time, I worried. Worried about anything and everything in my life. I was addicted to worrying. From morning to night worry and fear would consume my brain. In the morning worried about running out of time while getting ready for work. I would worry about wearing a nice outfit so that at least I could look the part of a professional. I would worry about my car and if it would safely take me all the way to work because I was sure that I heard a noise yesterday. At work I worried that people were smiling at me but secretly hated me. I would also worry that this job was too much for me and I would not be able to handle it. Any email I received from work gave me anxiety because I was sure it would be a “You’re fired!” email. On my drive home I worried that something would happen like a broken-down car that I wouldn’t see in time, and I would have a car crash. Incidentally, this is another reason why I would never accept any invites to hang out after work, I would thank my lucky stars when I would arrive safely to my apartment. Once at home I would finally feel a little less fear and worry. I felt safe in my home with my cat and sister. But after a couple of hours, I would remember that I had to do the whole thing again the next day and so my worry would come back.
