Next chapter is up! I’m sorry that it took so long, but as many authors can tell you, forcing yourself into a headspace that you aren’t currently in is incredibly draining, especially when that headspace is an intense stage of depression.
I speak pretty honestly with you all, so many of you know that personally, I’ve struggled with seasonal depression, which I was in the midst of when I wrote Meadow’s breakdown. But I’ve doing much better as the season is winding down, so it’s very hard to get back into the headspace to write the counseling session after the breakdown.
This was just a chapter that I needed to get out so I could move forward with the book, but it is extremely important to the storyline and understanding Meadow’s thought process. A reminder that the counseling session should NOT be taken as advice and that I am NOT a mental health professional. If you feel that you need help, please refer to my chapter entitled “LIFELINE” which includes helplines throughout the world. Just a forewarning that the chapter may be a bit emotionally draining to read if you struggle with depression, as it hits on a few tough topics.
The song for this chapter is Burden by Kyle Dybdal and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND checking it out on Spotify. I’ve never found a song that so accurately depicted what it’s like for me personally when I’m struggling with my seasonal depression. It was so important for me to feature this song in my book, and I really hope you all check it out!
But don’t worry, we’re looking up from here, the next song will be titled I Wanna Get Better and is titled after the song by The Bleachers!
Sorry for the long message, but it felt important to tell you all this. Lots of love for you all, treat yourself with kindness xx
