college and depression

This blog is a mess. (Just like me!)

I knew that I needed a centralizing theme rather than just a spattering of posts, and after much deliberation (it was about five minutes), I decided that this theme would be about depression (because I don't want to change my URL) and how I deal with it within the context of my faith and college.

How do you deal with long term projects amidst depressive episodes? How do you motivate yourself, and what do you let go of to take care of yourself? I don't have perfect answers, but in future posts I hope to give a little bit of advice based on my own experience.

I also am all in for Jesus, and I think it is extremely important to talk about how depression impacts faith and vice versa. I would like, in the near future, to make a post about dispelling myths about mental illness dispersed by different factors of the church. I would also like to share my coping mechanisms regarding the spiritual.

I hope these future posts will be a blessing to you, just as they are therapeutic for me when I write them.

I love you! Keep taking care of yourselves, dreamers.
