 | Invalid Item  [] |
| (4.5)| Hey QPdoll  ! I am reviewing this for "Invalid Item" . I understand this is a short, fictional story, though it is based on real signs and emotions from depression. It's obvious from reading this piece that the writer definitely knows what the horrid diagnosis of depression does to one.   This to me seemed like a therapeutic write. It's like you needed to get it out of you to perhaps feel a bit lighter. I write all the time in my journals. Sometimes it's not so easy, other times I can't write fast enough. Invalid Merit Badge #thesongofhope Reading your piece, I definitely connected. I've been diagnosed with Major depressive disorder for years. It is like a regular disease you have to learn how to keep it hidden low enough so it doesn't come in and over-take your life. A lot easier said than done. Like any disease we have flair ups ... sometimes it may be years with the depression just sneaking up for a day or two and then we get it under control, but then there are those times that no matter how we try, it just keeps getting stronger and stronger, where know we are not who we are by name because we have merged with the demon-sucking light right from our energy field and replacing it with nothing but a dark, sticky substance, whispering lies upon negativity into our ear. We have to tell him, "Satan, get thee behind me in the name of Jesus Chist and go back to where you come" say it as many times as needed. It does help me, maybe it will help you too.   You wrote this piece well. What really struck me is the description of what it's like when we are having a depressive episode. It's so hard to do a dang thing ... we have to push ourselves. It's so important that is when we get up and just get active or change our scenery, but I know it is also the hardest time just to get yourself to move. I*'m good at taking to the bed. I call it hiding. I couldn't do it much for six years while I was taking care of my hubby, but after he passed, it was just an excuse for others' to leave me alone. I use to be such a people person, now I'm almost a loner. I don't like that and am making small steps to get myself back out in the world. I hope you are now able to do the same. Thanks so much for a great write, with real-life reactions to depression and ending with the information that there is help out there, just don't be afraid to take it.
