The thing is when you're down, everything seems much harder and painful. Getting out of bed is a struggle. Swallowing your food is suffocating. Doing your daily routine is a constant pain.
The Only thing you can do is to put everything on autopilot mode, and use all your effort to focus on the small glimpses you get during the day; a smile from a baby, a warm hug from your aunt, a joke with a relative, a sentence you surprisingly read.
Keep looking for messages of comfort hidden inside your regular actions.
These moments happen within few minutes, but their effect may last for a much longer time. They are what will keep you standing on your feet when nothing else will. These moments simply give you a glimpse of what things will look like when this darkness goes away, and soon it will.
