From people who came through it
“Hello from the other side of it. I was right where you are a few years back. It was pretending at work then collapsing at home and I couldn't see past it. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Bit by bit it comes back. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.”
Meron B. · been through depression“Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. I keep a list of good days on my phone so I can see them when it is bad. And talk to someone, even if it is just in here.”
page.quiet33 · been through depression“Reading this late at night? I've been there. I was right where you are two years ago. It was losing interest in football and I couldn't see past it. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It's slow, but it does come back. x”
Debjani E · been through depression“I remember how dark it felt, like I was the only person in the world who couldn't get out of bed. But I wasn't. And you aren't either. Start with one tiny thing. Wash one dish. Open a window. Call someone, even if you don't know what to say. It's not about being fixed overnight. It's about not being alone in it. I still have bad days, but I have more good ones now. You will too.”
