Every now and then I have those days where I feel like I am stuck in the constant vortex of a depressed vacuum. Getting sucked up, spit back out, and sucked up again. With depression, of course, there is the really high days and the really low days. This is for the days that I am low and for others who have the low days as well.

1. The low days will pass.

The days that you think will never end will and the highs will come back. You will not want to lay in this bed forever. You will not be sad or sensitive or cry like this forever. The little flash flood storm will dry away and it will be good again.

2. It is okay to have a low day.

Life is hard and life sucks so do not belittle yourself or let anyone belittle you for feeling sad. Believe it or not, sadness is an easy trait to acquire even when you hate it.

3. Remember the little things.

I know the saying find happiness in the little things is kind of cliche but cliche or not that little small saying is of high importance. The days when you are down and feeling low you can look at something small to make it better or bring you some sort of happiness.

For example the weather, an animal, family member, good news, reading a book, etc. There is so many. It really usually is just your preference or type of person you are.

4. Go out and do something.

Getting out may help because being cooped up in the bed can only make things worse. Get a pal or an animal and go enjoy your day. Go to the park, go eat, go adventure, etc. It really doesn't matter it might just change your day completely. Research has shown that when down, going out works to improve the feeling that you're feeling.

5. Talk to somebody.

Talking and venting is a good way to help express yourself and let your anger out. And we all know that we have that go to a person that is always there to help and when you talk to them you feel so much better. It's like a relief off your shoulders.

6. You're worth something.

On the bad days, you have to remember your worth and the good things about yourself. The things that make you, you and the things that make you special. Don't let the low days take that away from yourself. I know it will but sometimes you have to stop yourself, take a breather and take it all in.

The days can get low, but you will always get back right.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
