"The stupidest, trivialist little things can send your mind reeling. And what began as a good day or at least a nice day is all of a sudden spiraling out of your control. Very dark. The hounds of depression, rumination, anxiety, or memories hunting you down until you spend every waking moment running from them. And the worst of it is, the farther you run, the farther you get from reality and the people who need you and who love you."
(^Me this weekend. Thank you for this piece... I never tire of this genre from you.)
“Maybe surviving and enduring is flourishing.” You wrote that a while back and those words have been helpful in processing the hard days when endurance was all that I could manage.
Thank you Alan, the “letting the thoughts and feelings be” really struck me today in all the swirling of life’s fullness. We are blessed by your gift of writing.
Thank you for this. Wrestling with depression, anxiety, adhd, or something. They are all just interpretations for the human condition anyway. Don't know if I can act on them at the moment, but good to know they are there.
This article is perfect timing. It describes my last few days mentally and emotionally. God has been with me through it; He always is. Thank you for writing it.
