Tonight while eating dinner I told my husband that I've been feeling my depression creeping back in and that I wasn't feeling like myself. I mentioned prioritizing getting outside and going on walks more and he said, "why wait, lets go now". So here we are on a night time walk and I've never been so thankful to have someone who will drop everything to make sure I feel safe and loved.
