Well, laying down couldn't hurt. If you ARE sinking, the question is (as always among us here): how low?
Even a little sink is no fun, a dip usually makes every day dark, sliding into the pit results in different things for different folks but often a feeling of hopelessness, exhaustion, paralysis, apathy. And, when a visit to the pit gets extended, it can lead to suicidal ideation or not wanting to go on because it's so painful and there is no medication that seems to make a difference.
So, I guess I'm wondering (in the fondest way) how low has it gone?
And, this reminds me of the Eskimos/Inuit people who have like 100 words for "snow" and how we at PB have so many descriptive words for being down and getting more down. Words that most of the populace would not understand nor have a clue about.
Take care, wherever you are, and bathe yourself (if you can) in the knowledge that you are important to so many people. You. Plain old you. You are important. You are important to many people. You. You are loved. Hmph! Go figure!!
Iz true.
