Sometimes, it’s hard to tell, especially when depression shadows you, constantly grabbing for your hand to hold you back. Even when I know the things I need to do to come out from a bout, I sabotage myself by not doing them. Sigh.

Quote of the day: “When you’re lost in those woods, it sometimes takes you a while to realize that you are lost. For the longest time, you can convince yourself that you’ve just wandered off the path, that you’ll find your way back to the trailhead any moment now. Then night falls again and again, and you still have no idea where you are, and it’s time to admit that you have bewildered yourself so far off the path that you don’t even know from which direction the sun rises anymore.” — Elizabeth Gilbert

Reblogged this on The Sanguine Woods: Where the Heart Can Bleed More Freely… and commented:
A very important topic in this post from my pal over at Seasweeti’s Pages…I am bipolar II and suffer from depression cycles. I take two medications that have changed my life. If you’re going through depression, please reach out…and know that you are valuable, and you are not alone. – SW

I definitely can relate! Very difficult to discern and to remain positive and not sabotage. I’ve been called the king of sabotaging. Lol. But I’m working on new behaviors to replace the broken ones. You remain in my thoughts and prayers and I’m sending you beautiful jujus and good vibes!
