Challenge
Some words of comfort for someone going through depression.
Many people are struggling to get through this time. What would you say to them?
Put it into any poetry form of your choice. (Can even be stream consciousness)
What I’m looking for is good flow /rhythm, word choice, and a clear message.
Dear person
Take your time to feel, your feelings are valid. Don’t push them away. Let them flow. Be open. If you’re sad then you’re sad. It’s alright. Let yourself mourn and grief. It’s all part of the process.
Reach out to your loved ones. They can share your burden. You’re not alone.
Be compassionate to yourself. Tell yourself you’re going to be fine. You’re doing your best. Get back on your feet when you feel like it. Recovery takes time and isn’t linear. Sometimes you take 2 steps forward and 3 steps back. It’s alright. You’re doing fine.
