Eeyore

I recently got an Eeyore Onesie from Walmart. Actually, I am sitting in my bed wearing it trying to distract myself. (pics on my social media)

Anyways, I sent a picture to one of my friends being like "Am I cute yet?" His response was that Eeyore is sad and depressing.

Then it clicked in my head. Eeyore is me.

Lately, my depression and my anxiety has been through the roof that I am sleeping a lot more and getting super moody and I just don't have the motivation to do anything anymore. I haven't played the ukulele in a super long time and I also haven't written an article in weeks. My depression has been basically sucking my soul out.

Everyone is there for Eeyore. They give him love and support when he is just sad. I didn't realize how much I related to a Disney character in my life. I remember having this stuffed animal of Eeyore and it was one of my favorites.

Eeyore is sad and depression and I am sad and depressed. Life hasn't been the easiest in the last couple of months. Trying to figure out my place in this world while figuring out who I am while trying to keep my mental sanity has been THE hardest thing to do over the last two years.

Do I regret the last two years? Some of it. Do I miss it? I miss people but not some of the stuff I went through.

My depression is a very scary illness. I can be happy about one single thing only to hear something that breaks my heart and I dwell on it the rest of the day. It sucks. It leads to nights being spent in my bed instead of hanging out with friends.

I once have canceled on making plans with friends dozens of times due to "sickness" because I couldn't leave my bed or my house that day. I have purposely not answered phone calls due to the anxiety and the fact that I just don't wanna talk.

Life is so crazy and hard. In a way, we could all learn from Eeyore's example. Reach out to your friends who seem or are actually sad and depressed. Let them know that when they want to talk that you are there for them.

I always find comfort and joy in knowing I have good friends to talk to when I am feeling down.

Eeyore is forever my buddy! Enjoy the pictures of me and a onesie!
