The depression was working hard today, pushing its way into everything. That made it a really exhausting day for me, in which I felt very, very lonely. The irony is that I was around lots of people, and some in very small group circumstances. But I mostly felt slightly out of place, and never fully embraced for exactly who I am, which makes all the difference with that sense of isolation and being unwanted.
Tough day. Here’s to hiking tomorrow is much better.
Thank you, God, for this family and for your love. Make us well, keep us safe and whole, and heal our pains. In your name, I pray. Amen.
