depression casts a shadow on everything. youāll think that thereās nothing that can help, no point in living, just because of who you are. depression feeds you lies that you believe because it consumes your whole life. it makes you feel guilty because āother people have it worseā so you isolate yourself, stop asking for help, because who could possibly understand? it makes you feel like a failure, it makes you endlessly compare yourself and wonder why things are the way they are, why you arenāt good enough, why youāre constantly mistreated, why youāre always sad even if there is no reason for it. and eventually you come to the conclusion that itās your fault, life will always be like thisā¦and there is no way you can be helped, because the enemy is yourself, so whatās the point of going on.
please listen to me. donāt listen to depression. when youāre depressed, you are not your thoughts; from other peopleās perspective you could be an angel with a beautiful soul, but depression still screams that youāre useless and a failure. there are reasons to be happy, depression just hides them, so all you can see are the things wrong about your life. things could be āgoing wellā but depression still says thereās no use of living like itās the truth. you could be loved and depression says theyāre just pretending, and it gathers little thoughts and memories to convince you. but I promise, the thoughts are all lies to make you want to give up. because it is not yourself who is the enemy, it is depression, which can be overcome and slowly defeated.
itās not your fault. depression is an illness which can be helped even if itās a little. please, ask for help, you donāt need a āreasonā to be depressed, depression doesnāt care if your life is āgoodā or bad. if one doctor doesnāt help, go to another one; talk to a friend or go on a therapy website because there is help out there, there is a way out and it is NOT weak to ask for help, itās a sign of strength, and some people may never understand but others will understand perfectly. it is not weak to fight against it, it makes you strong.
it is normal to feel vulnerable, like nothing will help you, but please just try. depression is a monster and as long as youāre alive, you can be helped. once youāre out of there, the world will be different, you will see things youāve never noticed before and it will be a thousand times easier to be happy. when you can get better, things will get easier, things will change even if itās slow. things that saddened you before will barely affect you. you can make happy a constant theme in your life. youāll see yourself for who you really are, the beautiful person who deserves the world. you can feel okay every day, not weighed down by heavy thoughts. so if youāre depressed, I believe in you and even if you donāt believe in yourself, please be kind to yourself and try to recover. it will be a tough journey but you can do it. you are strong enough, though you donāt see it. you can make it through. it will be worth it. I believe in you.
