If You're There, I'm Here

I stumbled across another blog about depression.
Please follow and encourage the blogger on the link below.

Depression Hurts
The Adventures of Old Alice

 it really does 
and I feel her pain.


Sad, mad or
Happy and gay.
Who will I be today???

I wanted to reach out and hug her 
and assure her that someone does care, 
someone does understand, 
and this someone wants to crawl in that bubble with her
or rather pop that bubble and get her out.


When I'm Tigger, I don't like Eeyore
and when I'm Eeyore, 
I certainly don't like Tigger.

Thing is, most days I'm not even able 
to move past myself.

I understand the days of not remembering.
I understand that sometimes my mind feels like it's demented,
and yes, I worry about that too.

Isolation, I get. 
I may be surrounded by a crowd and still feel alone.


So, please be gentle with me.
I'm fragile and I may break.

Coming home from a celebration 
and I have to make myself get out of bed.
I look forward to the calls at the end of the day 
from my children.
I look forward to the emails from my blogging friends.

When I can't be anything to anyone, 
I just have to be myself.
That's all I can be.

So, if you're there, 
I'm here. 

Prayers of Hope, 
Bonnie

I wonder why this isn't the way it is???
