I dont currently have a 9-5 job.

I spend most of my time holed up in my room.

I’m Not Pathetic And Lazy, I’m Clinically Depressed

Kinga Cichewicz

I take far too many naps and dont do nearly enough laundry.

Some days, I cant bring myself to eat three full meals.

I rarely leave the house to meet up with friends.

I may sound like a sad excuse for a human being, but Im neither pathetic nor lazy.

Because of my depression, Im learning to dream new dreams.

Because of my depression, Im learning to practice self-care.

Instead of overworking and under-caring, Im beginning to nourish myself, eating and sleeping and binge-watching and pampering.

Because of my depression, Im slowly pulling myself back together again.

Instead of displaying impeccable poise, Imregainingit, recovering and showing up and trying andliving.

But the truth is, Im battling, rebuilding, and rising from the ashes.

Even though my depression is invasive and difficult to overcome, it will never beat me.
