Wisdom from B

I am not my depression. I am fun, generous, caring and intelligent. My depression makes me very sad and anxious. It doesn't change the fact that I am fun, generous, caring and intelligent. It just changes how I cope with and interact with the world. And I will get better at managing this over time. Bec has, so much better. Bec knows that I can too, I just need to cut myself some slack, get some strategies to tackle the depression and focus on healing. It takes time. Stop this rush to get back to peak efficiency. That will just burn me out. Take small steps, celebrate every little step forward and forgive every step back.
