Well, this started as a bad day. Nothing, in particular, is making it a bad day. For some reason, my Depression is back with a vengeance today. I didn’t have trouble sleeping last night, but for some reason, I woke up wholly unmotivated and down this morning. I have spent almost four hours just bouncing between various social media apps, reading news, novels, and watching videos without any focus at all. The kind of things that can either pull me out of Depression or drag me deeper. Well, this morning, it is dragging me down. So, I am grabbing myself by the nape of the neck and making myself write something, anything, even this rambling slice of life junk. Just to get started pulling myself out of the Depression spiral.

Okay, that’s a start. Maybe I can turn this into a good day. Now I will try something more substantial.

Thanks to anyone who reads this!
