DEPRESSION FEELS LIKE
YOUR BATTERY RUNNING OUT
MIND AND BODY SLOWLY SHUTTING DOWN
WANTING TO GO OUT BUT CAN'T STAND UP
WANTING TO ASK FOR HELP BUT CAN'T TALK OR TYPE
BEING A BURDEN TO EVERYONE
NOT WANTING TO BRING OTHERS DOWN
SLEEPING ALL DAY
BARELY EATING
OVEREATING
LISTENING TO THE SAME SONG ON REPEAT FOR DAYS

AND STILL GOING TO WORK
TALKING AND SMILING
AND SAYING YOU'RE OK

Is it worth it to share a work in progress? This grimoire will take me years. These pages will likely continue to evolve as I fill out the book. This is the cover page for the Chemistry section.
