Moi aussi 🙋🏻‍♀️ #Repost @studiojonesie ・・・ C’est #Inktober Day 17 mais c’est aussi une journée super importante pour moi 😍 RDV cet après midi pour savoir pourquoi !! 💙❤️
I originally posted this text last year for #worldmentalhealthday. Posting again because it’s important. • • In 2000, I fell into a deep depression after an emotional shock. Over the course of a summer, I stopped feeling ALL emotions. Joy, love, sadness, anger — all became foreign to me. I also lost my appetite, the ability to plan, memorize, and felt into cycles of oversleeping. 12 hr nights became the norm, which made attending class a challenge. • • I knew something was wrong but had no idea what to do about it. I’d go to bed hoping the next day would be better, but each new day brought me deeper into darkness. I remember the constant flow of thoughts, the dark scenarios on repeat. I wanted to be better but how? One day, I called @sergem for help. He came to my house in full panic, cooked an apple omelet, and did the best he could to make me laugh. • • • The next day, I saw a doctor, who decided my problem was boredom with my life. What an ass. I kept telling him I stopped relating with humans, but he shrugged and. prescribed shots of magnesium. I got hot flashes but not much else. • • • A couple of months later, my mom made me see another doctor who eventually prescribed antidepressants. In a couple of weeks, I started feeling better. The fog lifted slowly and it took 8 months for me to get most of my life back and 2 years to fully recover. It was a very difficult time, especially since so few people knew what I was going through. • • It’s hard to explain the dark side to those who haven’t been there. To say that no, watching a comedy or reading a book won’t make you feel better, just like drinking a cold drink won’t break a fever. • • • Depression sucks. It hurts. I remember those dark years and if you’re going trough this, know that there’s help out there. It may take a few knocks on doors but one will eventually open. The rest of your life awaits on the other side.
Yes, it is 💛

🇫🇷 C’est la 1ère fois que j’assiste à l’Oktoberfest @kennett.brewfest de ma ville et j’espère que ce ne sera pas la dernière 🍺 De toutes les bières que j’ai testées, c’est l’IPA à la noix ce coco de @tiredhandsbrewing que j’ai préférée. Mon mister, lui, a préféré les Oktoberfests. Et oui, les bières américaines, c’est bien plus que la Budweiser 😁 • 🇺🇸 First time attending @kennett.brewfest and hopefully not the last 🍺 Of all the beers, I tried, the coconut IPA by @tiredhandsbrewing was my favorite because it tasted like summer. The fish tacos were excellent, too. Thanks so much @historickennett for the tickets 🙏🏼✨#kennettmugshot
🇫🇷 Petit rappel 🤗 Une pensée particulière pour @happy_lilette et @johanna_rogowski qui se souviennent de billets de blog postés il y a 6 ans ou plus ! Quelle chance j’ai d’avoir de lectrices aussi chouettes ✨ • 🇺🇸 Friendly reminder 🥰 This post is inspired by two readers of my (now closed) French blog who remember stories I posted years ago. How sweet is that?
