Strange to live with uncertainty a constant reacquaintance with the beating of my heart the shadings of my soul infused with pale pinks and flushed corals I feel the pulse in my throat, on my wrist but there is a dull ache insistent presence under my skin questioning me, wondering How long have you been dead? How long will you live?

If you are having periods of depression, you need to talk to your doctor. After all, depression is a treatable disorder; treatment can reduce your suffering and improve your quality of life; and, even though we can’t be certain given the present state of knowledge, treatment could also increase the quantity of your life.
You need to be an active participant in your recovery: Take your prescribed medications as directed. By any chance, Michelle, are you participating in a cardiac rehabilitation program?
And finally, seek out the company of supportive friends and family whom you trust. Patients with heart disease who have a trusted confidant with whom they can share distressing thoughts and feelings have been found in prior research I have read to have lower mortality rates. And there you have it, friend.
And for me, friend, this was about several things, not just the literal.
Thanks for the love and feedback. Unfortunately, we've become experts. Xx

but there is a dull ache
insistent presence under my skin
questioning me, wondering
How long have you been dead?
How long will you live?
These lines were an every day experience, despite my trust in a good and sovereign God.
But a year ago my eyes were opened to who I was deep down, and who I needed to be again. I would happily relate that experience in private, Michelle.
I am aware of your deep hurt in several places, and I pray that your soulful writing will be a blessing to you, as it is a blessing to me!!
