TW: Grief and Depression
Gooooooood morning, Little Leaves! 🍂🤍
Holy moly... we're almost to 1,000 views!
I haven't been posting on my social media as much as I usually do, I know. It's been a rough week.
But it makes me so happy knowing you guys haven't forgotten about me!
I want to talk about depression and grief today.
There's a certain time of the day when I start feeling so down.
I haven't figured out why it happens at that specific time. It feels like a switch being flipped inside me. I'm okay for the entire day, and the second 5pm hits, the switch is flipped.
I wish I knew what was triggering it. Sometimes I feel like it could be grief.
My dad passed away 2 and a half years ago. I'll go into detail about that day on another Saturday, not today.
Anyways, I've been missing him a lot lately. Grief is weird that way. Some days you don't even think about them, and you're happy. Then it hits you like a truck.
I think that's what's happening with me. I just need my dad.
We stayed up late every night watching music videos and just talking. He could hold a conversation for hours.
Talking about it now, it could be why I don't like talking to somebody for too long anymore. I only liked it when it was my dad.
Grief is an entire process. Sometimes you just have to let yourself feel it. There's no "getting over it".
If any of you have lost someone and ever want to talk, feel free to reach out to me on my socials. Or leave a comment under this post.
Until next Saturday, Little Leaves 🍂🤍
