I had been stuck in a very bad depressive episode (did I jinx myself?!) for about a week. It was nothing but laying in bed and crying all day and all night. I even took out my braids, which is my equivalent to shaving my head.
I kept telling myself I would get through it (see previous post) but there are always small doubts that creep their way into my mind. Still, I kept trying to distract myself, calling whoever I could and watching every YouTube video I could stand. Constant distraction was key.
I also knew I needed to make a change in my life, I just didn’t know what to change. Then, during one phone call, I realised something I could do and broke free from my depressive episode, INSTANTLY. Literally, instantly. Since that very moment I have been pretty productive, and mostly happy, and I am so grateful!
