A lot of people, including me, have been extremely sad in their lives. Some of which are depressed. As a person who is struggling with depression, (as it was diagnosed) I know that it can be hard to even wake up in the morning. A lot has gone on in my life already, and I still know that it's only the beginning. I personally have tried taking my life 3 times. This was before I realised that suicide doesn't take away the pain. It only passes it on to somebody else. And I would never want that.
I would never want anybody to feel the way I feel.
The weight on my shoulders.
The constant reminder that I could always be doing better.
I would never wish that upon somebody else because it hurts. Mentally and physically.
But you can always be better. Of course it takes time, but you can overcome this.
A lot of people say that depression is just a rut in your life and you'll eventually get over it.
But that is not the case.
What I say is that maybe you won't ever overcome your depression, not fully. But everybody has their own weaknesses, and everybody is the same in that way.
This is how you know you are not alone. You will find something, anything that will brighten up your day and that's good enough for now.
And if you don't, keep trying.
There is somebody who cares, all you have to do is find them.
