Depression Is
Depression is a monster made up of endless hands that only reach out to drag you deeper. Hiding underneath the bed, waiting for the perfect moment to smother you. It’s smoke closing in, caustic fumes inside a closed room. It’s a gun none can outrun, Wild West, and you’re the saloon. Heavy shackles, a ball and chain weighing you down. It’s that feeling you’ve forgotten something, like turning off the stove and knowing there’s nothing you can do. It’s your car on a hill too steep to climb, and you’re rolling backward without brakes into oncoming traffic. It’s walking on broken glass barefoot. It wears a mask of your face, whispers in your ear that you don’t deserve to be here. It’s an object stuck in your throat, slowly choking you. Depression is thinking you’re alive until you notice no one can see or hear you, and the walls… you pass right through. It’s an ocean to a sinking ship, salvation so far out of reach. Sometimes, it’s a stalker watching from the window, waiting to make their move. Depression is a giant crushing everything below. A shark circling your bleeding feet in freezing waters. It’s a ceiling of spikes bearing down until you’re bled dry and your bones give out. A colorless world without warmth or sound. It’s endless rain and unbearable pain from a fatal wound that cannot be mended. It’s a villain, a menace and the reason too many lives have ended. Depression is…

Never moving anywhere alone but always in at least a small group, the Dhinnabarrada sustained themselves on grubs and made boomerangs from the wood of the gidyer tree. -Eer-Moonan In the legends of the dreamtime from mythology of the Australian native people, the Eer-Moonan is the collective name for chimerical, monstrous creatures described as having the bodies of dogs, the feet of human women, and the heads of spiny anteaters; they prey upon

Seeing as how I am a Christian this immediately takes me back to Genesis 3 and the story of the fall of mankind. Well said indeed. This one I really like. The one thing that always struck me about the cunning of the lie of the devil was that Eve was promised wisdom and power. What they found though was that the wisdom was the knowledge of evil and the power was the power of guilt and shame. God had already given them the knowledge of every good thing. So what did they learn: sickness, hatred, depravity and all kinds of wickedness, things that God knew they were better off NOT knowing. And what was the net result? They found out they were naked.. It was not that they weren't smart enough beforehand to realize they were naked, it was that in the moment they ate the fruit the radiance of God that had clothed them up until that time in light vanished off of them and they were suddenly exposed.
