(AKA, The Grim is REAL, and his name is Depression)
Many people have described having depression as having "a black dog" with you at all times, sometimes more noticeable, sometimes less. This book is essentially a journey through my own personal experiences with depression and anxiety.

Beneath The Surface: Book Two
"After every time I had wasted on someone who didn't matter, you came along and didn't even touch me. You didn't hold my hand, kiss me or even give me high fives. I'd just watch you from afar, falling more and more in love with what I saw. I couldn't care less about not touching you. All I cared about was if you were safe. And I've found that that is what love truly is and truly should be." (Updates every Wednesday and Saturday!)Complete
My First Challenge And Tool - Accepting My Depression
After enduring the depths of depression, I can now say with conviction: "I am not a depressed person. I have depression-it's a disease, not a choice, and it does not define me." This shift in perspective has been transformative, enabling me to speak openly about my struggles and focus on recovery rather than feeling ashamed or attempting to conceal my pain. This book is a collection of stories that I can finally share now that I have emerged on the other side. It weaves together the moments that led me into depression and those that guided me toward healing. By looking back, connecting the dots, and making sense of it all, I hope to offer understanding, solace, and a sense of companionship to anyone who may be suffering in silence today.
Little Dark One
The day she found out that her name literally meant "little dark one", Ciara knew that her life was going to be nothing but an endless tunnel of darkness, from family issues to mental issues. She was a lost soul roaming in a lost world, seeking love and happiness, wishing for peace and harmony. Ciara's only friend was nature, birds were her alarm, trees were her mates, the rain was her happiness and flowers were her inspiration. She'd wake up every morning by the sunrise making sure she's the first soul to greet the beautiful warm sun and that's when she can carry on with her day. She hasn't always been a dark soul, she believed in the saying "There's light at the end of every tunnel." She knew deep down that being in that tunnel was temporary, she knew that one day her soul will finally find peace. However, she never knew when, or how.Complete
