🌪️5 things you only see once the fog lifts

🐦‍⬛ How pain robs memory.
Not just the big moments but whole weeks, months – a fog so thick you can’t even tell people what you did yesterday.

🐦‍⬛ The fear of being seen too clearly.
Because if someone really looked, really listened, they might see how far you have already fallen.

🐦‍⬛ The way depression makes you mean.
Not just sad – mean. Resentful. Short. Like there is not enough energy left to be kind.

🐦‍⬛ The fear that if you stop fighting for even a second, you will never start again
And yet you are so tired of fighting.

🐦‍⬛ The sadness after the noise.
When the worst passes and you expect relief – but feel even sadder. Like yesterday, inside the chaos, you hurt less than you do now that it is quiet.
