Analogy of the week - created by my sister

Depression is  like a marshmallow (yep you read that right).  If you throw things at it they will bounce back (I'm guessing those things would have to be pretty small) but if you dig away at it with a spoon it looses it's shape and strength (besides you get to eat it, although I think this is the where the analogy falls down).

One of those days

Days like today are hard days. I woke up feeling down and tired.  All I really want to do is sit or nap and think and let my brain heal.  But alas, that is not to be.  Some friends from out of town are coming for dinner with their kids.  I really want to see these friends as I rarely get to and I miss them so much.  So, I will get off the couch and tidy my place and get dinner ready.  I will have a lovely visit with my friends and thoroughly enjoy their company.  And when they leave and I close the door behind them I will feel a mixture of sadness and relief.  And then I will likely crash hard.
