I hope you feel better soon, Melissa. Depression really doesn't seem to follow any pattern sometimes. It sounds like you know how to listen to yourself and figure out what you need--that's a sort of victory in itself. I hope you end up at the B&B or create something similar for yourself at home. Finding pleasure in small things has helped me when I'm down, too. ❤️
I like the title you chose, with its implied departure of the depression, rather than it having moved in permanently.
Speaking of moving, the balcony looks wonderfully inviting! It's a lovely space and I hope you can enjoy it frequently, especially with this arrival of Spring. May you have many pleasant hours out there.
Battling the Black Dog can be exhausting and I wish for you all the resources you need to send it packing quickly.

Thank you so much, Diane! I’ve definitely found that the small things in life really do help during these times.

Hi Laureen! So nice to see you here. 😊
I am LOVING my balcony! It’s so cozy and inspiring…hoping to spend a lot of time there this weekend.
Knowing that this depression will leave at some point definitely helps.
