Today was mostly a great day! I was up early. I had an amazing cup of coffee! I got to hang out with mom and my niece, Lillis. Then, suddenly, I sat on the couch and got a dark feeling about me. I felt heavy and sad. I wondered if this feeling would last long and grow. Thankfully the feeling passed for a while. Until it came up again later on today. Living with Bipolar Disorder, depression can sneak up on a dime. You never know when or where… and you never know for how long. It could be 5 minutes, it could be a day, it could be a month (or two. or three). You just never know. I’m glad the darkness only hit me briefly today and that I was able to recognize it. Bipolar depression sucks. I’ll keep fighting it, no matter the brevity or length of it.

Sending love and light, Kel.
