Allowing myself to feel depressed

Posted by ClearSkies on February 22, 2006, at 10:09:44

No happy face to turn toward the world. Neutral, slightly glum, slightly worried expression. Preoccupied. This is the face I wear today.
No trigger, no special reason for the depression to appear. It happens, I am letting it happen. I am not fighting its appearance. For the moment, it's a part of me.

Sleeping a lot. Having nonsense dreams. Feeling weighty, like I'd sink to the bottom of a pond, if I was a stone. Even my vision stays close to the ground when I am like this. Gazing at the sky feels too hopeful an exercise.

Just being a lump. Keeping my world small. Digesting what I've seen. Wellness will return in its own time. I am not pulling it in or pushing towards it. It'll happen, just as this depression has happened.
