🚀 Depression Tried It. I Won Anyway.

Well, look who’s having a good day for once. Me. Shocking, right? Depression and anxiety showed up this morning ready to ruin my life like usual, and I just… didn’t care. Swatted them away like flies at a barbecue. Honestly, I made it look easy.

And let me tell you — it feels amazing. Like finding Wi-Fi in the middle of nowhere. Like realizing the gas station hot dog didn’t kill you. Like getting a snow day as an adult (okay, technically it’s just working from home, but still).

Usually, my brain is a full-time heckler. Depression’s screaming, “You’ll never be enough!” Anxiety’s yelling, “We’re all gonna die!” And I’m stuck in the middle trying to brush my teeth while questioning my entire existence. But today? Silence. Beautiful, glorious silence. It was like my thoughts finally decided to take a damn vacation.

The high you get on days like this is wild. I’m talking euphoric, better-than-coffee kind of high. It’s not even about being “happy.” It’s about not drowning for once. About feeling like I actually belong in my own body. And holy hell, I crave that feeling more than anything.

The craziest part? I didn’t even have to dig into my usual coping toolkit. No binge-scrolling, no stress-snacking, no zoning out in front of garbage TV pretending the world doesn’t exist. I just… lived. Functioned. Existed without misery clinging to me like bad cologne.

I even had enough energy to mess around with my little hobby shop — calmbydanny.com. Because sometimes the best “screw you” to depression is making something sarcastic, colorful, and entirely mine. That’s when I feel like I’ve truly won.

So yeah, today I’m soaking it all in. Nerves calm, patience level sky-high, no panic attacks lurking around the corner. For once, depression and anxiety are sitting on the bench, and I’m out here calling the plays.

Scoreboard says: Me — 1. Depression and anxiety — still losers. And I plan to enjoy the hell out of this win, even if all I do is brag about it online.
