The Real Reason Asking for Help Is Hard When You Have Depression

It doesn’t matter how bad you’re hurting, does it? Doesn’t matter how long you’ve laid in bed with the curtains drawn, hoping the darkness and quiet will offer some relief, an escape from all the guilt and shame you feel. Guilt and shame that comes from collapsing in on yourself, pushing away friends and family, [...]

Depression 5h

After three years of hellish mental tortures and pains I have gone through from the very person known as my father, I finally walk away from that man... He was never a father for these three long horrifying years... Rather, he was a monster... The mental abuses, traumas that one person gave me.... When I started to work on my traumas, I thought I would able to forgive him.. But, guess what he crossed every lines... I am still not able to process... I have always tried to give him a chance and what he had, he shattered my heart every single time... That man is so terrifying that he was emotionally blackmailing me... Can you imagine that... I thought forgiving is the best option.. But, some people just don't deserve that... And, I choose to walk away and with that clarity, I am not goona dealing with that monster anymore... I am so done... I don’t deserve the torments that man keeps giving me... Accusing me for something I am not... I am even ashamed to call him my father... That man just can't be my father... I tried but now, I am done with that man.. I have erased everything I could... That man has no right to keep tormenting me like that... I don’t deserve that... I never deserve that... The torment even got that extreme that I was literally feeling suicidal... He crossed that line.... Now, I am so done... I don’t wanna associate with someone like him... I am even ashamed to call him my father.... I am just not letting this man to torment me anymore.... This is over... Yeah, it is.....
Now I feel, some people just never deserve the kindness.. The chances... They don’t... And, you can never fix someone who never wants to be fixed...........
With this, I close the chapter of that haunting torments of three long years... In my healing journey, I would name it as a part of the story I have closed......... It’s over finally... #Depression #MentalHealth #Anxiety #mental abuse #Trauma #SuicidalThoughts #CheckInWithMe #MightyTogether

Write a 5-line poem about how you're feeling today.

It’s poetry writing time. ☺️✒️

For today’s challenge, write a five-line poem about how you’re feeling today. You’re free to write in whatever style or structure feels right to you, there are no rules! If you need some inspiration, here are some examples: you could write a free verse, acrostic, imagery, or lyric poem.

Here is @sparklywartanks poem:

Even as she opens her eyes with sunrise, she pushes through.

Her voice, a beacon of light. Her best, enough, as she gently soothes her inner critic.

One moment at a time—fleeting, like a race car finally crossing the finish line.

She can't wait for her Friday finish line.

Maybe then she'll get a full night's rest, and her mind will finally quiet down.

What are your favorite topics to write poems about?

Writing poetry is like going on an endless adventure in your mind, and the best part is that there isn’t a "right" or "wrong" way to travel.

One day you could write a poem about how you’re feeling, and the next one could be about your favorite food, or even a cherished memory you have. The beauty of poetry is giving your creativity permission to take the lead!

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says she enjoys creatively describing her mental health symptoms in her poems as well as celebrating any victories she’s had.
