(Tw: depressing-ish topic)
To start, I’m 15 years old and was diagnosed with depression at a very young age, I have cone to believe that one of the reasons my depression exists is because no matter where I look I cant find something that I can relate to, emotionally and mentally, if that makes sense. Even people with depression that I’ve talked to haven’t seemed to share the same prospects and views that I do, which makes me feel lonely and usually a sense of dread.
But it seems that on free-range apps like this, stories like yours reassure me that I am not alone, that my feelings are validated and I’m just as normal as anyone else. I binged Tales of The Betrayed tonight, and through a breakdown, tears, and motivation after realizing that theres still hope for Yawa and her brothers, I feel better than I have in a while.
I hope you know it wasn’t just your stories that helped me tonight, but YOU in general. Whoever you are, I know you are a kind and amazing person with a beautiful soul, no matter what scars and how many of them you may carry, they will only show proof of your defiance to stay down, and every time you get put down you get back up.
I hope you are okay mentally, and I hope you find some peace of mind or some type of comfort as I do in your stories. <3
