Dealing with Depression

when you feel lost, sad, and as if you can do nothing but rot in bed.

in this episode of “bliss with britt”, we explore the feeling of depression.

in the past, i would shove toxic positivity down my own throat instead of allowing myself to sit with the truth in testing times.

i would categorize every emotion as positive or negative, instead of seeing them as the gift it can be to uncovering parts of me i had neglected.

therefore, in my most recent visit from depression, i let go of my defense mechanisms and sought the lesson hidden in the emotion.

after sharing my feelings of sadness with my loved ones, my aunty led me to beauty that is honest prayer. i sat in my sacred space and allowed my soul to speak without judgement.

i spoke my fears and cried an abundance of tears.

the more i said the words i had hidden inside for so long, the less power they had. i felt the silent then overwhelming comfort of a divine presence that held the promises of being sustained, protected, and loved always and forever.

i don’t think i could ever deny the power of prayer. simply speaking to the divine and embracing the flow of my tears is my personal method of release, it is all about finding yours.

with the fear of my emotions being lifted, it was time to make conscious effort to realign with my peace.

with the door now being opened, it was my turn to make a conscious effort to step through it.

i began pulling myself out of bed on the days when it felt as if my skin was a weighted blanket. doing my selfcare routine, reigniting my hobbies, seeing loved ones… doing things to make my soul smile, treating myself as the lifetime companion that i am.

slowly but surely, i found my new equilibrium. i recovered my joy that i had thought had run away, and it turns out it never left the home that is rooted in my soul.

i pray that even in your pain, you never forget the beauty that is life and the capability to love… may you actively love yourself, even on the hardest days.

thank you for your time, support, and alignment ♡
