Today on my blog I’m sharing a mortifying but honest look at how much I struggle with the fact that my depression makes me work at a different speed than the rest of the world.
I really appreciate you mentioning the impact depression has on your work. Same here, along with other factors that can and do influence my ability to produce. Thanks for the reminder ... and the validation!
There is so much truth behind this statement. So many people are determined to compare their journeys to others, but in truth, we are all going at the correct speed. It's all relative.
You're picture is delightful! It makes the part of my brain that loves symmetry sing 😁
This is so timely for me. I’m on week four of a buttkicker Covid infection and am freaked out it’s taking me so long. I’m going to print this one out a color it. Thanks for the reminder that it will all be ok. 💜
I've talked about this so much in therapy. I'm learning to recognize that I am in my own race, no one else's. I see peers that I used to think I had to match and pace but they are their own people with their own set of unique circumstances that don't involve me so why am I judging myself in their race?
Constantly struggling with this one especially now when the voice of depression is getting louder. I just finished listening to Furiously Happy again, a friend in a dark time.
as my hubby & i get older & after the pandemic hit, we adopted the exact same philosophy.. 'we take our time now..' after feeling so driven for so much of our lives, it seems the healthy way forward in this crazy life & times.. i also deal with depression/anxiety/ocd.. self fucking care! right? i always love that tomcat!

Oh, I so agree!

Love the face expression of the cat
Jenny I love your drawings thank you they inspire me
I know a room like that all too well. You're not alone. xoxo
So true. We’re not always okay and that’s okay. Taking care of ourselves is way more important than living up to expectations. Take your time.
Thanks for this reminder! People are always telling me to hurry up with figuring things.

Well timed reminder for me today. Thank you!
He has a royal look about him.

This is so true, and we need to remind ourselves this from time to time :)
