How I Keep Depression at Bay

I write about the darkness to bring it to light.

I write about the depression to push back on its heaviness. Keep it at bay.

I don’t want to sit in the dark by myself. I can’t imagine that anyone wants to deal with the weight of the world on their own. I write so that you can feel less alone in those moments of grief, fear, and agony.

I want to be there with you. I want to hold some of the heaviness. I want you to know I feel it too.
