In this corner
the defendant
weighing down my life
is depression
In the other corner
the opponent
bouncing around
is anxiety
Hitting below the belt is fine,
use every trick in the book
Now come out fighting
trying to take control
of this shell of a body
…
This daily struggle
goes on in my head
and I just wait to see
who will have superiority
and how bad my day will be
or if both will cause a TKO
and in bed I am meant to stay

Nasty opponents, Leigha. I admire your tenacity in contending with them.
Thank you Sandy… I wish I could just avoid them some days.
Yes, that would be even better.
Let them fight each other as you slowly slip away. Wouldn’t it be nice if it were that easy? Sending hugs and love. 🤗 ❤️ 🤗
Sign me up for that plan! Thank you! ❤
Tough cookie!
Ooh… can I be chocolate chip? Thanks Michael!
Lol go on then
