My depression tells me: “Doom is inevitable, there's no hope for me to get a job that I'm comfortable with, nor will I achieve my dreams. I will eventually fall into poverty or worse homelessness.”

My mania tells me: “Everything is going to be aright! Don't worry about the bad things happening in the world. You are energetic and healthy, and I guarantee you will achieve your wildest dreams!”

I have to keep reminding myself that neither of them are right 100%, because the truth is more complicated. I need to be aware of the realities I'm living in right now – both good and bad – while still holding my strength and resolve to keep on living. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
