This is a collection of the original posts from The Rollercoaster FB page from March 2020 through the end of that year.

This is a collection of the original posts from The Rollercoaster FB page for the first two months of its existence (started New Year 2020).

So many things I want to write about, but the FB Al-Gore-isms make it difficult to get all the posts seen if I split them up, so this is going to be a longer post instead. First off, a couple flash backs to previous posts.

Depression doesn't just ramp up the negative emotions, it ramps up every emotion. Riding the emotional rollercoaster that comes with every depressive episode can be confusing, terrifying, and oddly exciting (as strange as that sounds.) I know this doesn't seem to have too much to do with relationships which is the overall theme of this page, but reflecting on our personal headspace can definitely help us with our interpersonal relationships as well. When you're riding the emotional rollercoaster, you may be taking others along with you. Some may get in the car willingly to hold your hand during the scariest parts. Others might simply be standing too close as you swoop down during a low section, and get caught by your danging arm. Now they're holding on for dear life, hoping you can let them go. Maybe I'm taking this metaphor a bit far, but I'm still looking for a platform so I can get off this ride.
