Between pretty damned miserable and just plain
Devastated all of the time you seem to be.
Your stuck in a range on the emotional scale
Where only sick thinking is allowed to prevail.
A solution to your issue you cannot see
And your thinking about it brings on a migraine.

It’s a negative feedback loop. You get depressed.
You stop seeing your friends. You start to isolate
Then you get more depressed and you isolate more.
It becomes hard from this position to reach for
Better feeling thoughts. It becomes hard to create
Anything but confusion when you’re not your best.

You can check in with yourself every now and then
To find out where you’re sitting emotionally.
From feeling suicidal to feeling okay
Notice every emotion you feel through the day
Then the causes of your depression you may see.
Do believe that you can feel quite normal again.

You’ll notice that when you feel your life’s worth living
You’re with a certain person or group of people
Or it may be you’re doing something you adore.
Once you discover what it is then do it more.
Focus on ways to make your life more meaningful.
Concentrate only on things that are life-giving.
