You were looking for a river
but I gave you the ocean.
You were looking for embers
but I gave you fire.
You were looking for breezes
but I gave you a hurricane.
You were looking on the surface,
but I never said I was easy;
the only place you can find me
is in the eye of the storm.

Did you create that graphic as well? It really depicts what depression can feel like. I can really relate to this….it’s how I feel about my own significant other and my relationship.
