It's been cold and dreary here in the west for the last few days. It hasn't helped my brain stay positive but it's nothing music and a bit of weed can't handle.
The annoying thing that I've noticed though scrolling through the ole Facebook are people in my feed constantly talking about how their depression has "flared up" due to the weather. Suffering with this shit for the last 18 years has been a daily struggle of fake smiles, hollow laughter, and wearing a mask to hide the fact that things are not fine. If only I had flare ups of depression, life would be 100% more tolerable.
Turning something so horrific such as this mental cancer into a hip trend is absolutely stupid. Try forcing yourself to get out of bed and gathering a reason to live another day. Or even better, try coming home and wondering if you'll make it through the night. Imagine seeing the sunshine but never feeling it's warmth. That's daily life.
It's not a fad, it's a struggle.
