You Made It Through The Day

Sometimes I forget

Just getting out of bed

The little victories

I overcame the dread.

Sometimes I forget

That today I did do well

I had something to eat

The heartache I did quell

Sometimes I remember

When my heart feels grey

That I should be proud

I made it through the day.

Author's Note

Not meant to be a masterpiece, it's just something to cheer me up, I hope it applies to other people too.

Wow. I feel this on a whole new level.
Sometimes even the tiniest things should be celebrated. Getting out of bed, eating something, laughing. They seem minimal to others, but they are important to us.
Thank you for writing this and sharing it. I think I stand for a lot of people when I say that this is what we needed. Look at all these people you have impacted. So many loved your words.
Be proud of yourself.
Be proud of making it through the day.

You mentioned this wasn't meant to be a "masterpiece." However, I really loved it because I am one of those "other people." When you suffer with severe depression and anxiety, just making it through the day is a huge accomplishment. Great, simplistic write! Love it!!
