From people who came through it

  • โ€œNearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. Sleeping 12 hours and still tired, every single day. This week I went back to my evening class. One day at a time.โ€

    Monika I. ยท been through depression
  • โ€œReading 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. xโ€

    Debjani E ยท been through depression
  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. Getting outside first thing, even for five minutes, helps my mood a lot. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here. Keeping faith.โ€

    Busisiwe M. ยท been through depression
  • โ€œIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy, the first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad, the breathing thing where you breathe out longer than in actually works for me so go slowly.โ€
