Hello, My Name Is Emily And I’m Depressed Today...

So, as you can tell for the title of this blog post I’m having a bad day and that’s okay. My depression hasn’t really been this bad for a while but for some reason today when I woke up I felt very spaced out and strange and I knew that it was my depression kicking my bum.

But in a way, I’m lucky because I have an amazing circle of friends and an amazing boyfriend. I just came back from my boyfriend’s house this morning after staying over for 3 days, Alex dropped me off at home on his way to work, he then called me on his lunch break and asked if I was okay. I replied with no not really and I explained that I didn’t really know what was wrong with me I was just feeling down. He then said well when I’ve finished work I’ll pick you up and you can stay over and this has made me feel slightly better.

It’s okay to be sad and it’s okay to have a bad day, you don’t need to be happy all the time, even the happiest people are sad sometimes. Just remember to surround yourself with people that care for you and are a positive influence on your life.

I want to set you a task for this blog post, leave a comment and tell me something or someone that makes you happy, I’d really love to know.
