She Must Get Out of Bed takes a look at a woman struggling to get through the most ordinary of days because her depression makes everything a challenge.
The story was inspired by the daily struggles I had while I was dealing with my depression. I knew, even then, that mine was not as severe as others but I really struggled with social interaction and just mustering the energy and enthusiasm for basic tasks was a constant challenge that left me exhausted. Thankfully, with anti-depressants and therapy - and friends who knew to gently push me, not make demands - I got much better.
If you're struggling, there are people to call. I started with a visit to my GP. Here's to great mental health.
