Depression, actual depression, not just "being sad" is tough
It can consume a person and lead to their death in some cases
And it isn't really talked about all that often
but why? a lot of us have had that really dark time in our lives
this is a some what common thing here!
What is hard though is when you can't get out of it
When you really have lost all hope
Lost friends, lost family, lost everything that ever meant anything to you
People that go through that need help
I have had my own problems with depression for maybe 5 years?
It was such a dark time I can't remember time, a month could feel like years and time was just all a mess
Everything was a mess!
It is the worst place to be in
A kind of prisoner in your own mind
Your negative or numbed out thoughts control you
And they can get this unrelenting hold on your spirit
Like you are not you anymore
Like you died and were no longer there
So awful!
No one should stay stuck in that
The amazing news though is that it can be conquered
And the new outlook on life you will have after will be so much more valuable than people who have not experienced this profound hurdle
The first few steps have to be reaching out to someone, anyone, even a stranger, maybe even me!
You are worth the effort it takes to cure the depression
And it is not as hard as it may seem, I promise
Depression is not this impossible thing to overcome
Don't look at it that way, Look at it in a temporary way like "this is terrible, but it will pass"
Be your own mirror
Look at how you think
Look at how you speak to others
Look at your life
Recognize that, that life is not good for you and that it must change now

You don't have to be "diagnosed" to start trying to help yourself out
But as some advice, when you can not cure yourself, look to outside help like a doctor
Sometimes it's all just your darn hormones acting up in a weird way
But when it's all your thoughts, YOU have the power to change that and get better
Everyone deserves a happy life, everyone!
So start making the steps you need to take and just do it
I've done it and you can too!
A kiss for you!
Love,
