This makes me feel so seen. I love the bit about not conquering but fighting it the distinction I believe is significantly important. Women vs void and deranged messy women has easily been my favourite genre to read this year. The reading reading and writing writing is so real lol I feel so agitated and restless unless I am constantly indulging in something as if I were to take a minute to breathe and just exist the void might manifest as a real entity and consume me. But I love the suggestion about human connection I feel like you really may be onto something there. Someone truly needed to write this piece and you did a wonderful job 💗
This resonates deeply with me. I’ve been fighting against the void forever and I’ve also learned recently that connection is what helps me most. I need it to be meaningful and I have to force myself to keep connecting when the void pulls too hard. Thank you for sharing! 🩷
Glad I found you on here! I think you’d like my writings too, rambling about loneliness, dating and connection. Also really think you’d love one of my favorite memoirs, “my first thirty years” by Gertrude Beasley. Written in the early 20th century about her poverty stricken upbringing in Texas. She escaped and got educated, but died in a mental hospital and her book was only rediscovered recently and reprinted xo

You had me at “reading, reading, reading”. 💚💜💚
The longer I reflect on my depression, (which began when I was 6 or 7), my self-compassion grows and expands.
I am effectively therapized and medicated now, and have been for many years.
But the sad wonder I feel about the depth of my suffering continues to grow. I’m so grateful I survived it and learned how to be happy.
