      I'm saying this because 1) it's true, and 2) mental health / depression has a stigma in the black community and I want to normalize it.

    Last night, a friend told me that I seem lighter and happier than I have in a while. This morning, someone said it was good to see me smile.

      I've been back on my anti-depressants for a while and I'm finally feeling less foggy and like a cloudy has been lifted.

        I was faking it for months and the facade had started to fall. I retreated into myself and let a lot of my responsibilities slide.

          Some of this is post-election trauma, but I've been depressed for years. 2016 triggered a big relapse and I'm just now starting to move on.

            Anyway, I guess I'm feeling a bit introspective. But also happy. ☺️
