A new addition

After fighting all these years to a stalemate or worse, I've come to the conclusion that depression is a life long disease that can only be managed. You can't build a new palace in your mind The old house will always remain, it foundation set and settled. The best you can do is to build an ever expanding addition with new corridors and larger rooms, and to acknowledge that every day at some point when you're not paying attention you'll find yourself wandering down one of the old hallways again. When that happens, stop and take stock, recognize your surroundings, then purposefully leave and return to where the paint is fresh and the tile is polished.
