Bridge over troubled waters

My doctor wants me to emerge from this fog,

So she told me to write an internet blog.

I’ve been wallowing in the depths of sorrow,

And I  have lost sight of all tomorrows.

I embarked on this project to nourish my soul,

And I’m digging myself out of this six foot hole.

I’m not there yet I have a long way to go,

With the help of loved ones I’m not feeling so low.

Today when I wake I want to get out of bed,

Although the feelings of doom still burden my head.

I’ve found nothing sustains life like the feeling of love,

It makes you stay on the earth to watch the heavens above.

So this is my blog and l hope you will see,

That it’s helping me to discover a much better me!

I have sub-titled my blog "Bridge over troubled waters" because throughout my journey through depression I have considered my family and friends to be "my bridge", always supporting, lifting and raising me up through enduring and challenging times. This blog is a tribute to the strength and connection they have provided to me during my illness. Thank you to all!

And a very special thank you to my dedicated therapist who inspired and encouraged me to write.
