I hate when I feel like this. I don’t know what to say, But I’m just gonna write. Sometimes what helps me, Just for a little bit, Is to hear jokes, Is Orlearn cute fun facts about animals. That makes me happy, But it only lasts for a few seconds. I like to write. I like to write poems. It’s not a consistent hobby. I’ll write a few poems, Then I’ll stop writing for a while, And then I’ll start writing again. Writing makes me happy though. I still feel depressed, so I’ll keep writing. I was scrolling online before I started writing, My therapist has advised me to do the opposite of whatever I feel the urge to do when I’m sad, So now I’m not scrolling, I’m writing. It’s productive in a way. I think I should be more productive, I think that will help, So I‘m going to go clean. It was nice writing this.
