Recently, I’ve had more bad days than good. Sometimes it’s just a struggle to get out of bed, and other times I don’t know how to feel or how to be once I do. Racing thoughts, depression and extreme anxiety color the majority of my days.

I’ve been struggling with depression since I was a teenager, but anxiety, at least the level that’s it’s at now is a new thing. I used to love driving, especially at night with the windows rolled down, stereo cranked up with a cigarette in my hand! That was when I felt so free and happy. For the past five-six years, the thought of driving even a mile sends me spiraling, to the point where I refuse to leave the house because I’m too scared to drive. It’s utterly exhausting, all of these thoughts day in and day out.

My first thought when I wake up is “oh god, what hell awaits me today”? And my last waking thought for the night is “please let me get some sleep so I can function like a fucking human tomorrow”! Some days are not quite that dark, while other days are like “it’s ok to leave the dishes until the morning, the important thing is that they are soaking”. And that’s good enough for me most days.
