I went viral in 2016 after unapologetically proclaiming Donald Trump, a predator, a misogynist, and a criminal.
His supporters began cyberbullying me and called me a “Trophy Wife.” It was brutal. After crying, I bossed up.
My response to the harsh rebuttal…
Ah, what a time to be alive. 💙
New York Attorney General takes the initial step to prepare to seize Trump assets.
Father God, your word declares in Psalms 55:22 to cast our cares on you, and you will sustain us; that you will never let the righteous be shaken.
I pray peace upon every weary soul. I pray strength upon every exhausted believer. I pray comfort upon every burdened child of yours.
May they all walk with the knowledge of knowing that nothing in this world can not overtake your grace, your mercy, and your love.
Bless your name Father. Above all.
In Jesus’ sovereign, holy and righteous name, Amen.✨️
Psalms 105:15 NIV
“Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.”
Amen.
Are there any rules when it comes to fighting depression? Yes, two:
✨️ Let it change you for the better.
✨️ Let it leave you stronger than you were before.
What’s helped me?
This routine was designed specifically for my mental health needs. Please consult a licensed psychiatrist to help manage your journey.
1. Track my triggers and symptoms: Depressive episodes can often leave people focusing on the negatives and discounting the positives. To counteract this, people with depression can keep a positivity journal or gratitude journal. This type of journal helps to build self-esteem and confidence.
2. Therapy, therapy, therapy: private one on one therapy, group therapy, and support groups provide unified stability and comfort. You’re not alone, and please always know that.
3. Challenge my negative thoughts: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an effective therapy for those with depression and other mood disorders. CBT proposes that a person’s thoughts, rather than their life situations, affect their mood.
4. Practicing mindfulness: Retraining your brain to appreciate the present moment and find the positive in the now.
5. Exercise: Exercising is extremely beneficial for people with depression. It releases chemicals called endorphins that help improve your mood.
6. Avoid alcohol: Alcohol is a depressant and can prove a potent trigger to low mood, especially in individuals prone to bipolar disorder or mental illness. Alcohol ultimately masks the problem instead of dealing with it at face value.
7. Eat a healthy diet: Eat a balanced diet. Try to eat a balanced and nutritious diet. A healthy diet produces a healthy body and a healthy mind.
8. Sleep: Please prioritize sleep. Lack of sleep exacerbates depression. Develop a soothing bedtime routine that sets you up for restful nights.
9. Changed my medicine regimen: Seroquel (Quetiapine) is no longer a part of my medicine routine. After careful consideration, it was discovered that the Seroquel was counterproductive to my stability.
10. Get in nature: My safe space has always been in nature with my dog. It’s peaceful, magical, and very beautiful. It’s definitely my favorite act of self-care and my favorite place of solitude.
You’re not broken. You’re becoming whole.
Cheers to the fighters
who overcome
battles every day

Remember – even the strongest souls get exhausted. The strongest human beings, the ones who laugh the loudest and hope the hardest. The ones who are always there for others, those souls often need people there for them. So, please check on your kind friends. Check on the people in our life who are tender, the ones who are always open to give so much of who they are for those who need it. Check on the people in your life who love with every ounce of their being, who feel deeply and care deeply, and try to fix and mend and make sure that those around them are okay. Please, just check on the people in your life who are brave and who are soft for this world. Check on the people in your life who protect others at all costs because those souls need protecting, too. Those souls need to be reminded that they deserve the love they keep giving to everyone else.

Matthew 11:28 NIV:
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
I’m taking a step back to continue stabilizing my mental health and work through my depression. I’m not okay, but I will be.
Sending so much love to anyone else on their healing journey. Please remember, you’re not broken, you are becoming whole.
xoxoxo, Sonique 🩷
I’m no CONTENT CREATOR. That’s not to impugn the work of content creators. It’s just different for me.
This is my real life playing out. With the hope that my vulnerability and transparency weaves together a fabric. So ultimately, that fabric can be used as a safety net of hope and healing for others.
