Life is worth living. Life is worth the pain of a month in the darkness, because there is always an end to it, even if you can't see it. When you're on a roller coaster, you can't tell when it will end, you can only think about the hill you're going up, the loop you're on. And when you're finally off the ride, the first thing you think after the wave of dizziness, is 'I wanna do it again'. Because despite the fear when you were going up that hill the first time, it was so much fun.
And when you're depressed, you don't see the end of it, you just see the hill you're on, you don't think about the amazing feeling of zero gravity on the loop, or the excitement when you get off, all you feel is your heart thudding. You feel the blood rushing and the nausea in your stomach.
Even though you want to give up, and give into your demons, and I know I am probably not getting through to you right now. It is worth fighting for. And right now, I just wanna kick depression and anxiety and all of my demons in the ass like they deserve. Like you deserve. Salt and burn those mother fuckers. Always keep fighting. Stay strong. Just keep breathing. You are a bad ass and you can do this, I believe in you, even if you don't.
Even when you want to give up the most, think about the thing you love the most. If you're part of a fandom or if you love to read, or if it's your family. They don't want you to give up. The fictional characters or the band members, the authors, the actors, your parents, your siblings. They want you to keep fighting. They want to see you do something great.
And I know you were probably just think 'I'll never do something great', but you don't know that. Even if you don't feel like you have any talent, you may just not have found it yet. If you go now, you may have just left your chance to cure cancer, stop war, become president. And even if you never do something that changes the whole world, you may do something to change some one's world. You may be the person meant to save some one's life, and in return, they save yours. You ARE capable of things you don't know. Don't throw that to waste.
Life sucks. I get it. But you have to give it time. That's easier said then done, believe me, I fucking know. But the pain you are in isn't forever, though it may feel that way. I know you're tired, after days, months, years of this, but the fact that you have made it this far means you are hella strong.
I may not be able to change your mind, but I hope you can hold on just a bit longer. The day will come when you will be okay. And it will have been worth the fight.
And if anyone needs someone to talk to, my DM's are open.
