Dark thoughts in the early hours.

As i lay here awake, negative thoughts are doing the rounds in my head.Only now a days, I sit with them and don't push them out.

And its hard. Your mind telling you self-destructive things. All the while, you know you don't want to do them.

Words of stay strong come to mind.

Hey there! I'm glad you found something that really helped you through and made you feel calmer.

I sometimes listening to playlists designed for sleep, but haven't in quite a while so i really appreciate the gentle reminder 😊

Thank you for your reply also!

Sorry man... But it's a sign of depression and you need to get it checked... I face the same thing and I'm diagnosed with it... Seek some professional help and btw you're doing a brave job by being here and sharing it with us!!

Thank you for your words here Undebatable1 😊 I'm sorry that you too have gone through depression and i hope you're doing better or maybe just a work in progress

Me and Depression go way back. But you did get me thinking that perhaps i need a 'check up doctors appointment' or a 'check in with myself' .

So i thank you for that 😊

And Stay strong!
