Im new here but i thought id let anyone struggling with depressionout there know that it truly does get better. Im currently getting out of therapy after my second suicidal relapse in my life and whle im not back to where I was before shit hit the fan just yet, I know that ill get there.
Depression is a chemical imbalance in your brain, its not you, and nor is it the world around you thats the problem (although it may strongly seem that way in the moment). I know what its like to not want to get out of bed, I know how much it hurts just to get going each day not just because you are sad but because you are past the point of being emotionally exhausted. It sucks, it really does, but its not your fault and its not reality and only so many people can tell you that but you have to believe it yourself.
You are not alone no matter how realistic that thought may seem.
Reach out, reach out to a friend, a family member, a guidance counselor, anyone, Just because you may not love yourself right now, I can assure you there are people out there who do and people out there who desperately care and want to help you see the next day. Talking is probably the hardest thing to do off the bat but you may see the benefits almost immediately.
Thanks VT for letting me put in this rant (as cliche as it may sound it truly is heartfelt). Talking to someone is the first step and youll be surprised by how many people around you want to listen.
You are not alone, you are not the problem, you are loved.
