Today I laid in bed a total of 7 more minutes than I should have before rushing to get ready for work. I let that sinking feeling pull me under. Drowning in my own bed, No thoughts actually running through my head, Just a mind numbing realisation that I’ll have to get up at some point. But I just laid there. No emotion on my face. Eyes glued to the ceiling Blinking every 4 seconds, Before letting out a long sigh as if my soul had been sent back to me. Then i caried on with the day as normal.
This is just a small section of what it’s like waking up for a person with depression. There are many people in the world who suffer with such an extreme depression that they can’t actually gather the mental strength to get out of bed. I believe that this issue should be recognised world wide. Thank you for reading x
