Ways to Release
Pressure builds up intermittently inside my head, tormenting and unbearable. Each time, backed against the wall, gasping, my eyes roll back as I am stifled by life’s dark, merciless grip. In the past, in desperation, I did what I had to do to survive. One attack after another, instinct meted out two options: explode or implode. With rage, food, seclusion, and self-hurt, I dealt with it and endured it all.
Over the years, I have come to know my tormentor and all that it seeks. So, now I retaliate with self-compassion and a stubborn refusal to quit. With each act of selfness, I grow in strength and, alternately, the force of my depression weakens in retreat. I can feel it. I am winning ground; the bouts of depression are fewer and farther between. Armed with a growing understanding of my inner workings and the cycles that I go through, along with a bag full of mind-bending tricks, I am more ready than I have ever been.
Daily, these are the different ways I release. Some are positive, healthy forms of release that are working for me. Some are not.
