Hello, and I hope you are well! I have had better days. I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve, so I have trouble hiding things sometimes. I seem to be able to hide my feelings around children, but when it comes to adults, I don’t see the point of hiding my feelings. It’s probably not healthy either. I’m a real person, and that’s the only way I know how to be.
Thankfully I can snap out of my funk this time because I am not in the middle of a depression, so I am pretty glad about that.
Do you deal with depression? If so, what types of steps do you take to avoid it? I know it’s not always possible to avoid, but depression can be managed, and any tips help.
Besides my morning Bible verses to harp and other music, my go-to remedy to stay out of my depression is orange essential oil. It’s incredible how much aromatherapy can help. Of course, I faithfully take my medication, and I don’t mess around with that anymore; it’s too risky.
I wrote today’s poem a few years ago about caring for someone with Dementia. I have had several loved ones die of this illness and know someone living with it right now. It’s such a sad condition to watch someone go through, and it’s also tough to ever leave them because they desperately want you to stay.
If you know someone with Dementia or Alsiemers, my heart goes out to you. I truly hope that someday they find a cure for this horrible condition.
you beg me not to leave so I will stay as long as I can
anything to help you not feel so afraid and alone
I’ll be here as you sleep and be that smiling face you’ll see when you wake
I’ll listen to any thought that comes into your mind and pay attention to everything you say
and when it comes time for me to leave don’t be filled with sorrow
I’ll reassure you before I go that I’ll be back for you tomorrow
and sadly for you
tomorrow can’t come soon enough
If this poem made you sad, then you are not alone; it makes me sad too. If you ever need a friend and want to talk, feel free to email me at Abstractstarr777@gmail. com.
