Getting sober & getting on anti-depressants were 2 major life changes. I really do recognize when “it” is coming over me. Acknowledging my sadness, giving myself that talk, “Bobbi, it’s alright, talk it out, write it out or cuddle up in bed.” IDK why but just doing this has really helped me.

Kinda like walking through the emotion (not denying it) shortens that sad time quite a bit. I know I’ll feel better again soon. And I do.

I hope this makes sense …
