I am someone with chronic depression who has worked from home for almost twenty years and I have always been baffled by the many people who say “oh you can work in your pajamas”. I mean I could but why would I. That would feel terrible and reinforce depression. Not that I always, or even often, look stunning but I enjoy colorful clothing and having fun with fashion. Getting up and putting clothes on helps me feel like a better me. And it’s been tough as I’ve entered my forties and my body is changing inside and out in ways I don’t understand and I’m not sure what “style” even feels like me anymore. But I’m curious to find out. It’s a relatively safe space to explore. ❤️ thank you for sharing your story
Thank you for sharing too. I also have depression and I relate to your experience about choosing not to reinforce depression. It can still exist but I do what I can to fight in my own way
As a Grandmother of 2, your insight helps me to see into my own past, and future. Thank you
