This sad writer writes a bit of everything. I don’t want to write about depression, I’m sure it’ll come up because it literally fills my mind right now, but I am more than my (broken) Mental Health.
At least, I tell myself that when I can.
I’m just going to say that it sucks big time and I’m so tired of it coming back every time things start to look a bit brighter. The self-sabotage is strong with this one.
No. This blog is supposed to be about me trying to dig myself out the hole, one word at a time. Why writing? Because it’s all I’ve got right now and also, I’ve been writing since I was a tween and it’s always been a comfort in the past. I haven’t really been able to pour myself into writing for years now. Every year I religiously try NaNoWriMo, every year for the past 5, I have failed within 2 weeks.
I want to write. I want it more than anything.
I’ve promised myself that this year I would take back control. This is how I start. I will use whatever I can and try to post every day. No real editing, no tormenting myself over quality. Just let me, pleeeaaaseeee, find a little bit of myself again!

Courageous.
Is it something about depression or something about the written word that drives so many of us to the same place?

You know… I have no idea. It strikes me as something akin to the Chicken and Egg riddle.
Thanks for reading and commenting, have a great day.

Thank you and thanks also for commenting. It’s helping me so far. I’ve at least written more this week than I did all last year and I find I feel better for getting at least this much. It feels like a little more control over my life. Have a great day 🙂
