I'm Still Human: Understanding Depression With Kindness (Expanded Edition - 2021)

~ Gloomy Evenings ~
Generally, people like the moments when evening comes. It’s
time to stop work, return home to relax and spend time with family.
However, it’s a different story for me. When the sun is down, my
fear starts to creep in.
I feel very scared when the sky gets darker. The same thing
happens when the weather is gloomy. End of the day feels like the
end of the world to me. The shadows of hopelessness, helplessness,
loneliness, listlessness – all take turns to haunt me as the sky
becomes darker.
Every evening, it’s a time for battling with depressive storms. As the
storm comes, it brings with it all the unpleasant memories of the
past.
