Part 14Today was one of those tough days I don’t even want to think about. My mood reflects that, and in this moment, I felt the need to continue sharing my story about depression.If you missed the previous parts, you can read them below.After moving to Poland, I felt relatively good, like things ...

Today, I decided to take a day off. In the morning, I planned to go to the cinema, but, by some twist of fate, I ended up at the wrong cinema. Though, coincidences are rarely just coincidences.I was in a melancholic-philosophical mood, and I just went for a walk around the city.It so happened that I...

Finally, I got around to writing this post—I want to share a little about my trip to Tenerife.Since сhildhооd, I have dreamed of seeing whales. This dream was the main reason for my journey. I had already tried, unsuccessfully, to spot them twice in Portugal and three times in Iceland, but luck...

Ten days.Ten attempts to finish next part of my story. Every time I sit down, open my notes the words stubbornly refuse to form sentences.Maybe I should take a break? Leave the story I’m working on for a while and write about something else?For example, last night I was watching a YouTube video ab...

Part 13When I stepped out of Warsaw Airport, it was March 1, 2021. I remember that moment vividly. Lighting a cigarette, I looked around and suddenly felt something strange yet incredibly warm—a sense of home. It caught me off guard. I had only been to Warsaw once before, as a tourist. And now, th...

Part 11I understand that my words may seem banal, unoriginal, or even meaningless. Maybe they won’t sound inspiring. But I am not trying to say something new—I am simply telling my story. And I know that millions of people around the world are going through the same thing.Perhaps some of you are...

For the past few days, Warsaw has been bathed in sunshine. I want to go out for a walk and enjoy the warmth, but, of course, I had to get sick. My fever was so high that I barely had the strength to do anything, even cook. All I could do was wrap myself in a blanket, open the window, and listen to t...

Let’s take a break from heavy topics and dive into the world of art. I want to share something that brings me incredible inspiration and joy.I first became fascinated with sculpture when I was 19. For me, it’s more than just art — it’s pure delight, the quintessence of beauty and admiration....

Part 9I’m often asked why I don’t have a regular job. The answer lies in the fact that I simply can’t …(see Part 8).It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when I changed. How did a cheerful, outgoing girl turn into an anxious and reserved person who’s afraid to talk to people?I remember one incid...

Part VlllWhen you are in deprеssion, it feels like life has come to a hаlt. Everything loses meaning, dreams vanish, and the only wish you have is for this endless state of emptiness to end as soon as possible.

Part VllBy the time I ended up in the hоspital, my boyfriend and I had already broken up. I’ve mentioned before how much this person meant to me.

Part VlI mе.t my friеnd when I was already in the dеpths of an еxistеntiаl сrisis. Our rеlationship didn’t turn into a friеndship right away. She often said things I didn’t want to hеar. No, they weren’t in$ults or anything of the sоrt—they were truths. Truths I was un.willing or ...

PART lV Despite all the pаin that piеrсеd me to the very core, there was no turning back. I walked into the abyss of my own consciousness, taking enоrmous, almost despеrаte steps. A storm raged inside me—emotions tore my soul apart, and old wounds, like fеstеring sоres, suddenly began to...

Part lllSometimes it seems to me that in that relationship, I was like a little puppy — small, naive, helpless — taken in to be raised and taught.And yes, that’s exactly how it was. But despite all the pain and chaos that accompanied that experience, I feel a deep gratitude toward that person....

PART llDecember 2013Our first mееting took place at the entrance to the train station. Snow was falling softly, wrapping the city in a white blanket. I stood there, a little nervous, wearing my orange Nike Cortez sneakers, blue jeans, and a gray jacket. That was me—an 18-year-old freshman at an ...

December turned out to be simply amazing.The month began with wonderful news: I finally scheduled an appointment with a psychiatrist and got my tests done.

The past few days have felt like a small ray of light breaking through a long tunnel. It seems like I can breathe a little easier.Sometimes, I even catch myself thinking that I might be able to handle depression on my own. But deep down, I know it’s just an illusion, a fragile mirage hiding the re...

This weekend, I went to Wrocław to visit my friends. To be honest, I hesitated until the very last moment about whether I should go.Depression, a sense of emptiness, and feeling like nothing matters – in moments like that, all you want is to hide from the world, not dive into new experiences. But...

Do you ever have those moments when a memory from сhildhооd suddenly comes to life — vivid, down to the smallest details?For the past month, in the silence of sleepless nights, I often lie in bed, sinking into one of those memories. It fills me with a bittersweet nostalgia, and I find myself wi...

Sometimes, when my soul suddenly becomes shrouded in a fog of sadness and it feels like there's only emptiness ahead, I turn to astrology or Tarot cards for support. 🤫🤪I don’t see it as the ultimate truth, but rather as a deep tool for self-exploration and understanding my own mysteries....
