236. Liar, Liar: Make up a poem or story of complete lies about yourself or someone else.
One of my favorite authors, Jenny Lawson, writes deeply relatable, real experiences about depression and a common message is that depression lies. I hang on to that knowledge even when the depression demons are telling me all kinds of horrible things about me. The depression demons know me so well that they can cut to the most vulnerable beliefs and poke repeatedly at the tender wounds and bruises at my core. They lie about who I am, my value, and my convictions. I silently reiterate that they lie, lie, lie and try to counteract the lie with a realistic and truthful narrative. It’s exhausting.
