I have some hard truths I need to acknowledge, one of which is that I probably have chronic depression. My mother & brother were bipolar. I don't think I do & I usually manage pretty well on my own. Certain stressors push it over my ability to handle & I find myself spiraling.

Most people in my world can't understand depression so I put up a stoic face when I feel like this. It alienates me from them when I acknowledge I'm suffering. They literally have nothing to say. I need nothing more than 2b acknowledged. I don't need 2b fixed, just heard.

Thanks for hearing & acknowledging me. Here's hoping this is the worst of it. In 9 months, I will be hitting a pivotal birthday & I'm concerned about how the future is going to look as I become legally single again. With deepest gratitude. I love & appreciate you all.

Thankfully, I feel more like myself today. I appreciate all the personal responses & the energy lift. It has really helped. The people closest to me choose not to acknowledge the pain I expressed yesterday. That was hurtful but at least one of the two checked on me today.

@BunneeShelton I hope you find the light very soon!!!

@BunneeShelton Just seeing this. The first step is acknowledging that something is wrong. It’s the hardest one that too many never take. We’ve got you. So many of us know. You take one day and one step at a time.

@PortiaMcGonagal Indeed. Thank you.

@BunneeShelton 💜💜💜💜
