Chronic Illness | Mental Health and Depression | Spoken Word Poetry

It’s not exactly poetry, but oh well.

It’s hard to express what you’re going through when people dismiss you. I personally think there will never be enough light shed upon this topic, not when there are still people in this world who do not understand.

When you’re taking on a challenge like NaNoWriMo during a month that will always be hard on you, it can be easy to be cruel to yourself. I wasn’t doing well this past weekend. I was getting frustrated with myself, becoming mad at myself for suddenly being unable to function.

Old fears rose up.

A lot of this I wrote last year, when I came to the mental brick wall of not being able to function. I couldn’t write. I couldn’t make videos.

This year will be different. Here is my personal proof of that.

You’re not alone.
