My, my...how am I going to start this post? Let's see...how about I begin with an explanation for the lack of activity here on the blog? Truth is, I have been feeling really down for a few months now. It was a sadness so strong and so deep it felt like I was being engulfed by it. Anyway, to cut the long story short, depression has overcome me and I'm trying to make myself feel better. Bit of a shocker, eh? I really tried not to talk about it here because I didn't want to publish emo-ish posts. But yeah. I am currently on leave and undergoing therapy. My family, especially my mom has been nothing but very supportive of me these past couple of days. They took me shopping (because retail therapy is the best therapy there is?) and today we went to Trinoma for a family bonding. We watched Breaking Dawn (and I was pleasantly surprised to find that I totally liked it), had lunch and went book-browsing. Good food, good company, good books. My ideal date. Plus, the mall with its bright, colorful Christmas decors was a sight to be seen that it instantly put me in a happier disposition. I'm glad I didn't hole up again inside the house. Today's the third time I went out and the first time I attempted to look decent (so as to feel a bit merry) after coming back from the province. Hey, I looked like crap the whole week so might as well clean up today right? I hope I don't look too awful in these pictures. I hope you're all having a much better week! :)
PS. To compensate for this sad post, I am going to bombard you with happy photos from today! :)

ReplyDeleteJonessa, you are much to strong and brave to share what you are going through in your blog. I admire you for that and those things will just pass. It's not permanent and thank goodness for good food and family. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Chyrel. Thank you! I truly am touched by all of your comments. It's hard to talk about it here without being judged. But I thought, those people who might be going through the same thing must know that being depressed isn't such a shameful thing. I wanted them to know that we can fight it by therapy and of course, accepting the fact they have it in the first place. I do hope they read it and know that they aren't alone. :)
ReplyDeletehi jonessa! I hope you are feeling better by now :) You are not alone, I myself cant even believe that im slowly recovering from this bitter depression. you can do it, love. pray and everything will be better. have faith..
