Grief Therapy Is Over – I Wish My Depression Was

On 10th Mar 2025 By Absurd RhioIn Grief Journey, mental health1 Comment

Grief therapy is over, but my depression isn’t. I try to hold onto the things that used to bring me joy, but they slip through my fingers. I keep surviving, but it doesn’t feel like living. The lights are dimming, but I’m still reaching—hoping to find the switch one day.
