Patio garden #Garden #Grief #MajorDepressiveDisorder #Selfcare
Here is my little patio garden. I'm feeling deeply sad today. Every time I think I am starting to feel alive again I'm stopped in my tracks by limitations or a memory and sorrow washes over me.
Taking care of my plants helps me cope. Just a little water and sunshine, and they grow. I have herbs, tomatoes, lavender, greens I can't remember the name of, peppers, eggplant, geranium, petunias, dianthus, strawberries, and a lime tree.
At times when I can barely function, they begin to wilt from neglect. I notice this and realize I also need to do something to take care of myself. This is how plants take care of me.
