Depression Help

#9

It's been a couple years since I started this. I've noticed now that I honestly was mostly trying to help myself but by posting upsetting things, it does not help at all. From now on I will try to inspire people, not bring them down to my level. It's been years, as I said before and yes, I am still depressed, but things are a whole lot better now than they were before. I was a skeptic before, when people said it would get better. Now I know that they were right but they never said you would get completely better and never have depression anymore. They just meant that it will get better. It will lighten the weight on your shoulders. You may be in a bad place right now, you may not believe that things will get better. But you need to keep going. Your story doesn't need to end right here, no matter how bad things are at the moment. If you have no friends, go out and make friends who are as quirky as you. If you are lgbt+ or even if you're not, there are places where you can make friends and not be judged. If you are having family issues, there are people and places you can go to without having to let your parents know. You can tell your doctor, they may refer you to some medications that will change the chemicals in your brain back to normal so you do not feel weighted down. If you feel you have nothing left in life, there are people to talk to about it. They will help you through. Keep going and remember to smile, even if you don't feel happy. Smiling can actually make you feel better because it triggers neurons in your brain that stimulate joy. Keep your head up
