How to Stay Calm When You're Feeling #Anxious
No reading today, mostly writing and watching (too much) news. I clacked this out on typo. Note, you can‘t fix mistakes (hence that odd ‘x‘, which kind of works? Maybe?) Australia is 🔥🔥🔥 people and I am lucky and grateful to live where I do. #poem #writing #anxious
Smoke haze
Situation un-normal
Struggle to breathe
Unsettling colours

“People with depression can't just snap out of it or "turn that frown upside down." Depression is a painful and overwhelming state that makes one unable to function, to think clearly or reasonably, or to want to simply face another day. Many people suffer alone and in silence because they are scared or ashamed. They feel weak…or pitiful. How can a person be incapable of having joy? “Why can‘t I just have a good time? Why can‘t I get on with it?”
“A disability that is not apparent in the person‘s appearance is no less intrusive, no less painful, no less disturbing than one that can be spotted across the room. And, yet, many people fail to respect the tremendous impact that the invisible disability has on the human enduring it.”
