From people who came through it

  • โ€œPlease 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.โ€

    page.quiet33 ยท been through depression
  • โ€œHello 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.โ€

    Meron B. ยท been through depression
  • โ€œI was in the same place nearly four years ago. Not showering for days, every single day. I'm volunteering here now.โ€

    Luis Gh 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€
