“If you know someone who’s depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather. Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they’re going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do.” ― Stephen Fry

We often wear so many hats that sometimes we get lost in the process.

For the past few months I’ve been having a hard time finding my center.

My balance.

So many changes have taken place in my life and instead of facing them, I’ve been burying myself in my work load. As a result, I lost myself underneath the weight of it all.

I forgot about my self-care and slowly slipped into a state of depression.

It isn’t easy to admit at times. Most people perception of depression is “someone who’s not functionally”. Depression is a silent killer especially when we are not aware of it.

It was getting harder and harder for me to get out of bed, interact with others and pretend I was okay. There are moments I cry uncontrollably because the weight of my emotions felt like I was slowly drowning.

My mind slowly slipped into autopilot. I was going through my days without actually living them.

Change is hard and each though I know everything happens for a reason, doesn’t make it any easier to accept.

I feel like I can finally share and talk about it because I know I’m not the only one that goes through moments like this.

I’m so grateful for my village. The people who let me vent, cry, scream, cuss and fall apart because they were holding me together.

It’s important to be surrounded by people who are truly by your side and you don’t need many of them. JUST ONE!!!

Someone who is truly your confidant.

Someone you share a bond with.

Someone you trust and love unconditionally because they too feel the same way about you.
