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€œI 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.โ€

    Crystal L. 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€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€
