New Year, same old depression

I am so glad I got out of bed to make this post!

I’ve been really feeling like it’s a new year and I’m a new me! For the most part, I don’t feel sad! I’m motivated to make this my year, and fix what is broken. My desires have shifted, for example I’m less concerned with finding love and more focused on finding the bag. But those depression symptoms still have a hold on me, especially fatigue! I am tired and my body is sore, 24/8! I’m still trying hard to fight that.

On this particular day, I had help from my sister. It was a beautiful day and I couldn’t get myself out of bed. My sister dragged me out so I could take pictures of her in that lighting! But I was outside in my pjs. Then she convinced me to put myself together for a blog post of my own. And I am so glad she did!

I am realizing that this is something I really have to fight for. Getting out of bed and showing up for life! If I have to force myself to wake up and go to a coffee shop just to do nothing there, at least I am out in the world, no matter how tired I feel. This is my fight (so far, because we all know there will be many more!)

This is the casual outfit I out together. A t-shirt dress, boots and a see-through, empty fanny pack!
