“In the eye of a hurricane
"There is quiet
For just a moment.
A yellow sky.
"When I was seventeen a hurricane
Destroyed my town.
I didn’t drown.
I couldn’t seem to die.
I wrote my way out”.
– from Hamilton

Make lists of things you've accomplished.
Write automatic thoughts and then rational responses to them (David D. Burns). Write down the automatic thought depressing you right now – not what you are feeling but what you are thinking. Then write down a rational response to that automatic thought.
Write your way out.
