300. Battle: Write about an epic battle, whether real, fictional or figurative.
I have had several depressive episodes in my life so when the pandemic swept the world, depression slithered its way back. This bout was particularly sticky and I needed language to illustrate my experience to DH2 so he could understand my state. I coined the term “depression demons” for the involuntary negative chatter in my head keeping me stuck in place. Because I think Cognitive Behavioral Therapy works, I constantly had to counter the incessant criticisms and dark viewpoint. This constant negative thought and subsequent counter argument battle was exhausting. I finally vanquished this round of depression demons and I don’t want to see them again.
