One thing about depression: it’s very physical. It hurts the body just as much as the mind. At this point, I am not feeling particularly sad about anything, but physically, it feels like it’s kicking my butt, literally. My body is always in pain, and worst of all, I am so tired I could cry. No matter how much sleep I get through the night, no matter how many naps I take, I. AM. TIRED!
But that’s how it gets you. Your mind is exhausted, which means your body gets tired, and you wind up spending most of your days in bed. But I refuse to let depression take another year from me. So I am pushing through it. I am being as productive as I possibly can be, fatigue headaches and all. The hardest part is fighting it mentally; usually when you’re tired, you sleep. But knowing it’s depression and not actual fatigue helps. The rest is up to true grit.
Recently I did a tiny haul from a website called I Saw it First. It had a cute selection and good prices, although I was shopping during a sale. I purchased a few things, and even though I’m not ecstatic about every item, I would definitely recommend shopping on this website!
The first item is a cropped mustard sweater with a V-neck. Although it looks (only slightly!) different from the picture on the website, I find it’s even cuter in person! I love how it can be a wide V-neck, or even off the shoulder. The sizing is a little wild, because I purchased a medium, and I feel like it’s a very small medium, but other than that, I am obsessed!
The next item is a black bandeau maxi dress. I was absolutely obsessed with it when I first got it. I like the shape it gives me, and I think the flowing material is beautiful. I’m just not so sure I’m obsessed with the maternity look of it all.
The last two items are a white T-shirt and pair of denim jeans. I was really unhappy with the shape of the t-shirt at first (long and drab), but if I tie it up it looks cute! The denim jeans are multi-coloured and really cute, but I borrowed them from my sister.
