Something I have done from a very young age, is to put my feelings into poetry. I am having a very hard time explaining to my husband at the moment how I am feeling, so I am leaving him this to find in the morning:
I get that you have the black dog
of depression on your head
I get that you can't help rip apart
the things I've done and said
I get that you need a friendly ear
and I know that its not mine
And believe me when I say to you
I've tried to give you time
But what I don't get is what I've done
to deserve all this pain?
I cannot just stand by and watch
12 years go down the drain
I try to be supportive
And do whatever I can
But I am just one person
And I can't help who I am
I've tried so hard there's nothing left
And now I'm numb inside
And all I want to do is run
And find somewhere to hide
But there are children in the background
And no matter how I think
It is simply impossible
For both of us to sink.
Not sure it will do any good, but at least he might get just a little inkling of how I feel.
